Elgin Quartz Pocket Watch

This is a small, round pocket watch by the brand Elgin, featuring a white analog dial with black Arabic numerals for hours 1 through 12. The word "Elgin" is printed prominently below the "12" numeral, and "Quartz" is visible above the "6". The hour, minute, and second hands are black, offering good contrast against the white face. The watch case appears to be made of a silver-toned metal, possibly polished chrome or stainless steel, exhibiting a slight luster that suggests a relatively clean surface with minimal visible scratches or wear. At the top of the case, there is a small textured crown, which is characteristic of pocket watches for setting time, and a loop (bow) attached above the crown, designed for attaching a chain or fob. The watch glass appears clear and intact, allowing for unobstructed viewing of the dial. The overall condition seems good, with no obvious signs of significant damage, such as cracks in the crystal or heavy scratching on the metal casing. The design is classic and functional, likely dating from the late 20th century or early 21st century, given the 'Quartz' inscription, which indicates a battery-powered movement rather than a mechanical one. The craftsmanship suggests a mass-produced item, common for affordable and reliable timekeeping devices.
