Side winding Elgins and Walthams are not un-common… This watch came to me from a collector who had previously fitted two other movements because he thought this movement was wrong despite the hand setting lever aligning perfectly and the small case locating peg on the edge of the movement at the Roman numeral eleven also aligning perfectly and slotting into the hole in the case.. Luckily he kept the original movement. Fully serviced with a new “Elgin” main-spring and keeping very accurate time. Not the brightest of plates but this Elgin 11 jewel “work-horse” movement is mechanically perfect. Electronically timed and tested, gains 10 seconds a day face up… Loses 2 seconds a day face down with the regulator arm being dead center on the timing index plate. Under-sprung cut bi-metal balance wheel with timing screws. Winds smoothly, open the front lid and fully pull the hand setting lever out to set the time via the winding button. A “Bay State” imperial coin silver case.. Tiny ding on the bezel near the hinge and an even smaller one on the back lid in the area of the blank cartouche. Coin edges are still very sharp. Nice floral pattern on the back lid. All closures and hinges are excellent. Clear real mineral flat bevel edged crystal. Presentation inscription on the inner dust cover lid for 1894. Lovely blued steel original hands… Fancy second hand is not original but a good tight fit and perfect in size….. A large watch at 53 m. In diameter excluding pendant and bow. Weighs in at 138 grams.
