This inaugural year National Keywind watch, exquisitely preserved, is a gem among horological artifacts. It bears the serial number 8748, denoting its origin from the first production year of the renowned National Watch Co., which was later renamed Elgin. The heart of this timepiece is the distinguished “G.M. Wheeler” 18 size, 11 jewel Keywind movement, which springs to action with a mere wind. The watch is operational, having undergone recent servicing to guarantee its reliability. Encased in a striking silver housing, it features a newly installed thick glass crystal that highlights its pristine state. The dial is equally remarkable, free from any discernible hairlines. At 154 years of age, this watch has been preserved with exceptional diligence and remains in superb condition. Accompanied by a key, it stands as a prized acquisition for collectors seeking an early Elgin timepiece. Detailed images are available for thorough scrutiny of its exquisite features, and inquiries are encouraged.
