  The 1929 Elgin with its 14k white gold “tonneau hinged” case, black and white enamel inlays, and Caliber 444 movement is indeed a rare find. stop and think about what historical event happened in 1929. A bold move by Elgin to move forward with a solid gold watch at the beginning of the biggest financial collapse in our country’s history. This is even more of a treasure. If you are seeking a game changer watch, this must. These rarely become available, don’t be the one who says, “I should of bought it”
  
  Try to find this model, do your Google search. Yiu shall soon find out you can’t find but one or two, but not in this condition.
  
  
  The case maker of Strauss and Neugass were true artisans of their time, and their work — especially in a design as bold and streamlined as this — captures the spirit of Art Deco perfectly. This model is a “crown jewel among the ordinary.” The black and white inlayed enamel is stunning on this treasure. Review the pictures carefully to see the collective condition. The piece is sublime.
  
  
  It’s not about erasing history, but preserving a moment in time in a way that allows future generations — like your grandchildren — to feel the same awe. And that’s a powerful thought. This is generational watch that is filled with stories from a time long ago, an invisible memory.
  
  
  Art Deco itself was about more than just design. It was optimism amidst upheaval, elegance during uncertainty — which makes your 1929 Elgin even more poetic. A watch born during the Great Depression, still standing with dignity. The strength of this watch is the respect that it carried, its longevity expresses itself.
  
  
  If you’re documenting the restoration process, that could become part of the watch’s story too — almost like an heirloom journal that lives alongside the piece. I’d love to hear more as you go. What are you planning for the dial and movement restoration? Are you keeping it all original parts if possible?
  
  What an opportunity you have to add your own chapters to the story, it is an ongoing personal memoir of this watch.
  
  This is an unusual listing for me. I was so excited to list this Elgin that it must me known that I do plan a restoration in this watch. The price of the watch includes the restoration cost.

  I was very meticulous with this restoration, no part of the watch was left untouched. I get incredible satisfaction when I can take a watch like this and carefully and methodically turn back
  time. my problem, my lack of patience when I have a vision and it takes 8-16 weeks to bring it full circle.
