Vintage Lord Elgin 14k Yellow Gold Hand Wind Men's Watch

A classic and understated example of vintage American watchmaking, this Lord Elgin wristwatch carries both timeless style and meaningful provenance. The 14k yellow gold rectangular case frames a softly aged dial accented by gold-tone Arabic numerals, subtle triangular markers, and matching hands. A subsidiary seconds register at 6 o’clock adds both function and traditional charm, enhancing its balanced design. The caseback is engraved: “Presented by Ford Motor Co to Philip J. List on his 35th Anniversary 1918–1953 Henry Ford II,” indicating it was awarded as a long-service recognition piece—adding historical significance and personal character. Paired with a textured brown leather strap and powered by a hand-wound movement, this watch reflects the quality and craftsmanship long associated with the Lord Elgin name while offering a unique connection to American industrial history.
