Are Elgin watches real gold?

1 Answer
Are Elgin watches real gold?
Whether or not Elgin watches are gold depends on the timepiece in question. The watchmaker did produce pocket watches and wristwatches out of 10-karat, 14-karat and 18-karat gold, but some timepieces are just goldtone metal. On 1stDibs, find a variety of Elgin watches.
