Elgin Presentation 'Hinged Lugs'

What is it about vintage watches that gets our heart racing?

Sometimes it’s the quaint aesthetic, beautiful patina, or the history they represents that tugs at our heartstrings. At other times, it’s the untold stories imbued into each and every mark, scuff and scratch that gives a timepiece that undeniable charm we so desperately love.

This time-only Elgin is imbued with precisely this type of character.

Housed in a particularly unique square case with an inset round setting within the frame, this piece features a lovely blue Roman diamond track around the inner dial, finished in an eggshell coloring with a blued-steel handset complete with a railroad minute track. This watch is a masterful play of interlocking shapes --- a gemoetric exercise in midcentury design, ready to be enjoyed by its next custodian.

Outfitted with a blue leather strap with a matching buckle, this piece is powered by a manual winding movement.

Some say that small watches are back. We say they never left!
