Elgin, based in Elgin, Illinois, was one of the largest watch manufacturers in the United States during the early 20th century. The Sports Model featured a 7-jewel movement and paved the way for the widespread adoption of wristwatches. Today, Elgin watches are highly collectible and sought after by watch enthusiasts around the world.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Vortic Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44540421767469,"sku":null,"price":2500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1710\/0345\/products\/2023-02-21-9999-8.jpg?v=1677098700","url":"https:\/\/vorticwatches.mom\/products\/the-chicago-529-46mm","provider":"Vortic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
