Join me as we meticulously repair and breathe new life into a 1923 Elgin pocket watch, which has gracefully withstood a century of history. This timeless piece, now a centenarian, demanded careful attention due to multiple broken jewels and subpar prior service work. The ultimate aim is to present this revitalized pocket watch as a special and sentimental gift for my mother.
Adding an extra layer to the narrative, I'm also returning another Elgin pocket watch to my stepfather, which was a gift to him from my mother several years ago. With the completion of its repair, his watch is ready to be returned to him. As a surprise, my mother will receive her own matching vintage Elgin pocket watch, creating a meaningful connection between these horological treasures within our family.

I've also received several requests for a listing of tools, both essential and non-essential for starting out working on watches. While the list isn't 100% comprehensive, it'll get you 95% there! There are far too many items listed, along with notes on several pieces. You can see & download the full list of parts & links (not all affiliate links) here:
