The dial is silvered with Blued Steel Numbers. We have only ever seen a few watches with Blued Steel Numbers. This is a wonderful Art Deco Watch which you will unlikely never see again. This shape was originally designed by Louis Cartier. The Tortue, meaning "tortoise" in French was first introduced in the early teens. The style has a long and distinguished history within Cartier's watchmaking repertoire. Debuting in 1912, even earlier than the iconic Cartier Tank, the Tortue stood out from the crowd with its unique case shape. He was inspired by giant tortoises he saw holding up columns in an ancient Greek Temple that was 3000 years old. The elongated oval form offered a distinctive alternative to the predominantly round watches of the era. Cartier was one of the first designers to "stylize" basic things around him. He looked at utilitarian items and things in nature and by exaggeration, extension and stylization re-expressed them. Although not as widely recognized as the Tank or Santos, the Tortue was a success, existing comfortably alongside these other famous designs. ELGIN HISTORY The Elgin National Watch Company was founded in 1864 in Elgin, Illinois, as the National Watch Company in Chicago, Illinois. In September of the same year, the founders visited the Waltham Watch Company in Waltham, Massachusetts to “poach” some of their employees. They successfully convinced seven of Waltham's watchmakers to come to work for their new company. The growing young city of Elgin, Illinois, some 30 miles northwest of Chicago, was chosen as the factory site. The Elgin Watch Company quickly became one of the leading watchmakers in the United States. In 1870, the company produced its first million watches. By 1890, Elgin was producing over two million watches per year, more than any other watch factory in the world. The company's success was due in part to its innovative manufacturing techniques and its commitment to quality. Elgin recognized that the idea of interchangeable parts was the future of all production methods. Their watches were known for their accuracy and durability. The Elgin also played a major role in the development of the pocket watches for the railroads. They built fine, dependable, sturdy and very accurate watches. In 1910, Elgin introduced the first wristwatch that met the criteria for the railroads, even though it was not approved for use for 50 years. It was still an achievement. The company continued to produce high-quality pocket and wristwatches throughout the 20th century, and its watches were worn by celebrities, politicians, and other notable figures. As with other American companies in technology for the times they benefited from military contracts for watches for W.W. 1 and W.W. 2 as well. They built instruments for cars, planes, ships and trains as well. Elgin invented the “unbreakable” mainspring and many other technological breakthroughs. The Swiss paid licensing fees to Elgin for many of their inventions in watchmaking. Patek Philippe even used Elgin’s technology in their Balance Wheels in the 1950’s. When I started learning watchmaking in the late 1960’s I was about 13 years old. The man who was my teacher was named Norman Jarrett and he was 85 years old when I started. He had been a Foreman in the Elgin factory in the 1920’s. I learned watchmaking the old-fashioned way. He taught me, “Never fit the watch to the part” he always said, “only fit the part to the watch, or don’t start the project.” He also pointed out, “In the future someone better than you may have the skill to do it right, but you ruined the watch already because you did not have the skill.” Like most of the things he taught me, it was a rule for living life as well. Norman also said “Watchmaking is a serious craft” and shared with me a story about one of the men he worked within a shop. The man was not able to accurately adjust the timing after many hours. The next day he committed suicide. I decided that if I could not fix the watch to just put it down for a while and look at it another day. By the time they closed shop Elgin had produced over 60 million watches and left a legacy of excellence and inventions as well.
