Elgin Pocket Watch Conversion Wristwatch 1912 Masonic Dial Display Back 45mm

I picked this up at a recent NAWCC show. Someone took their time to blue the ratchet and crown wheel and put a Masonic symbol on one. I have seen a company doing similar work for a much higher price, 3K plus. With all the gold and gold filled cases being melted for their gold value, at least someone is being creative with the extra movements readily available.

This Elgin pocket watch conversion wristwatch is a unique collector’s piece that blends antique horology with contemporary wristwatch style. Originally built in 1912, the movement and dial have been carefully housed in a modern 45mm stainless steel display case, showcasing both craftsmanship and creativity.

The silver dial features Masonic symbol hour markers and cathedral-style hands, a rare customization that adds historical and symbolic significance. The display back allows a full view of the 15 jewel lever escapement movement, which remains in very good condition and signed by Elgin. Unique touches such as blued ratchet and crown wheels highlight the attention to detail in this conversion.
