In 1864, the Elgin National Watch Company was established in Elgin, Illinois, as an American watch manufacturer. The business was renowned for its innovation and accuracy, using cutting-edge manufacturing processes to create dependable timepieces. Initially, Elgin concentrated on making pocket watches because they were in high demand. Elgin watches were created in a variety of looks and patterns to suit different tastes and preferences. Elgin increased its operations and started making wristwatches as the demand for them increased in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
