Elgin Pocket Watch Conversion

$1,300.00

Originally manufactured as a pocket watch movement around 1920, this custom Elgin conversion brings a piece of American horological history to the wrist in a beautifully executed modern presentation.

At its heart is an authentic 21-jewel Elgin Grade 463 manual-wind movement housed within a polished silver-tone exhibition case that proudly displays the movement through a full display caseback. The silver tone dial features applied Arabic numerals, elegant cathedral-style hands, and a traditional small seconds display, preserving the timeless character of the original movement while offering modern wearability.

Each watch is individually inspected by Reno Watchworks prior to sale to verify proper mechanical operation and presentation.
