Pocketwatch Movements
Elgin Pocketwatch 1900 / Wristwatch?
I have a early 1900's wrist watch pocket watch when they made the transition between the two styles of watches .... not that precisely what year is 100% but it just happened to me the other day, I no idea how it ran ... Obviously his injury because there was no battery at the time .... but how many times do I have to return back? or is it one of these watches where he is wound by the motion of my arm .... thanks
Elgin watches tend to be wound once per day. I recommend a look at the jeweler before liquidation if: if there is something wrong with the watch (no doubt after all this time) and put you wound all the way and let the wound, you could damage the spring. If a jeweler is not an option, hold the watch to your ear and give it a little shake. Do you hear ticking? Does it check for a few seconds and then stops? If you hear ticking at all, give it a little wind, you should you feel / hear a few clicks. Jiggle and listen again. Does it keep ticking for a while, or should it stop again? If it stops again, there is something wrong. Do not wrap at all. If it keeps going, continue to experiment from there. When I say "shake" I do not speak not only to shake: there is a wheel inside that you're gonna try to get, so there must be a twist.
