My Elgin Pocket Watch Collection
While it is certainly less expensive to
collect postcards than watches, I have been able squeeze out a little money from
the family budget to invest in some Elgin Pocket watches. You can learn
more about my collection by either using the buttons on the bottom or clicking
on the icons below.
How are Pocket Watches
Measured?
A designation like the ones shown below
has become the standard. How that happened or why a 20S watch is the
designation for a watch that is 1.833", I don't know, but the chart below
will provide measurements for pocket watch designations.
