Ended Antique Elgin 17 Jewel Adjusted Pocket Watch J. Boss 25 Year Gold Filled Hunter Case Running

Museum-worthy American craftsmanship from the Gilded Age! Offered here is an absolutely stunning 1889 Elgin 17-jewel adjusted pocket watch housed in a highly desirable J. Boss 25-Year gold-filled hunter case. This isn't your average antique pocket watch—it's a fine American timepiece produced during the golden era of watchmaking.

The beautifully damaskeened movement is adorned with jeweled bearings and intricate engraving, while the original porcelain dial and blued steel hands provide timeless elegance. The richly engraved hunter case remains exceptionally attractive and speaks to the quality that made J. Boss cases legendary among collectors.

At more than 136 years old, this watch is still running and remains a striking example of late 19th-century American engineering. Whether displayed in a collection or carried as a conversation piece, it captures the artistry and precision that made Elgin one of America's most celebrated watchmakers.
