Beautiful Ladies’ Rare 1931 Arts and Crafts Elgin Wristwatch w/Box – SERVICED. The golden age of American watch-making was in full swing, art was on everyone’s mind, craftsmen were doing some of their finest work, and American watch manufacturers were vying for the spotlight. Each sought to be set apart as the leader in style and design. With the Jazz age in full kick, Elgin Watch Company decided to garner the spot as the finest house for ladies timepieces. They commissioned the brightest designers among them the famed artist Lucien Lelong to create watches that would sum up the energy and sex appeal of the Deco movement. What better watch to exemplify the “razzamatazz” of the gin-spritzed Arts and Crafts/Deco Era than this incredible white gold-filled work of wrist art? This absolutely outstanding ladies 32mm by 16mm “Arts and Crafts” rectangular Elgin with stippled 14k white gold-filled case is so attractive it’s hypnotic. This was a radical departure from anything anyone knew about the newfangled wristwatch of the era. Pristine in every sense of the word, from its MAGNIFICENT dial and rare case to its high-grade, American-made mechanism: We cannot imagine a better example. Open its pristine, un-engraved back and you’ll find not only correct Elgin case markings, but a 7 jewel, manual-wind mechanical marvel that has been completely cleaned, oiled and calibrated so that it keeps good, accurate time. Wear this and you’ll be sure to turn heads at the next soiree. We’re pleased to offer this timepiece in an original Deco celluloid presentation box. Also, if supplied with the lucky recipients wrist size, we will size the ribbon band to fit her at no additional charge.
