Specifications
Field Elgin B. W. Raymond Maker elgin Country United States Period From the 1860s through the mid-twentieth century across many grades Diameter 18 size early; later 16 size and smaller Height Varies by model Jewels 15 to 23 depending on grade and date Frequency 18,000 vph (2.5 Hz) Power reserve Approx. 36 hours Winding Key wind on the earliest grades, later stem wind Setting Lever set on railway-service grades Escapement Lever Balance Compensation balance; later grades with monometallic balance and improved hairspring alloy Complications Subsidiary seconds, Up-and-down indicator on a small number of grades Architecture A grade name rather than a single calibre, applied by Elgin to railroad-standard movements for most of the company's history, so that examples differ fundamentally in plate layout between early key-wind and late twentieth-century production.
