Elgin Watches

The Elgin Company was founded in 1864, approximately the same time the Civil War was ending. Since their creation, Elgin has made over 60 million watches. In 1910, Elgin created their first wrist watch. In America, Elgin was the innovator in time-telling devices.

Elgin started their company with the premise of making huge quantities of watches with interchangeable parts. This made the watches very easy to fix. Before Elgin came up with idea for their product, all watches were hand made and difficult to fix when broken. Seeing the potential to make money, Elgin decided to lead everyone and became the first company to mass produce machine made watches.

Elgin never claimed to make high end watches, but they have always made decent, practical products that are fairly easy to fix. They are also watches that last for a long time.

Because of the way Elgin watches are made, you could have a very old Elgin watch and it could still be in working condition. Collecting these popular watches has become quite the hobby.
