Description

Antique Atlas Watch Co pocket watch, Elgin, 1898.
The watch has a seven jewel grade 179 stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed Atlas Watch Co, Chicago, USA, an alternative name for a series of watches produced by Elgin, believed to be part of a marketing strategy. The movement carries the Elgin serial number 7300272 which dates it back to 1898. The movement is all protected by an inner hinged cover which is stamped Albata, which is an alloy of nickel copper and zinc.
The watch measures 55mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The outer case is silver and is stamped inside the case back Crescent Sterling. The case is in good condition, just a minor flattened area to the side, and the merest hint of unevenness to the patterned case back.
The glass lens is in good condition.
The signed dial has some damage towards the edge by number 5, and quite a few faint hairlines. One of hands is a period replacement.
The watch comes in a new presentation box.
