A timeless relic from mid-century Swiss horology, this vintage Elgin "Henri Sandoz & Fils" wristwatch carries the essence of utility and elegance. Featuring a patinated dial that speaks to decades of stories, this piece is powered by a manual-wind Swiss movement and marked by the classic "17 Jewels, Incabloc" designation. The Elgin name, though originally American, partnered with Swiss makers like Henri Sandoz to produce these distinctive watches in Europe—making them collector's favourites for their blend of function, form, and global legacy.
