I'd describe that as "Art nouveau", more circles and flowery than deco

 

Definitely not art-nouveau. Sorry.

 

Strange to see something on here which is about a 20 minute walk from where I live.

Really wonderful collection. Thanks for sharing!

 

I saw this in a video about the history of Elgin watches. No detail about it in the video, but a very cool watch



Should you be interested in the history of Elgin.

 

Beautiful watch!
Usually seen with gilt hands and numerals; this variant works well.

 

Wife's Hamilton Whitney

 

That one is in much better shape

 

Ooooh

 

One more...

Hamilton Turner

 

Two-tone white and yellow GF.

 

Lovely case and movement

 

Three little tanks...

 

this is one of the most beautiful elgins I've seen. Beautiful.

 

I saw this Wittnauer alarm watch on ebayPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network. I'm not quite sure how to classify those numerals - maybe somewhere between art deco and German expressionism.

 

Yes!

 

A Bulova Excellency/Ambassador/??? I recently picked up. Had been looking for a white tank style case off and on for a while and couldn't let this one go by. Might be a little late for true Art Deco (post WWII), but it's definitely of the style.

 

This absolutely wonderful piece is up for auction here in Denmark later this month (at a fairly aggressive evaluation of +€2k)... Wouldn't mind presenting a selection of pre-war watches and a few other items in it
