• Upcoming updates
    Over the next couple of weeks we will be performing software updates on the forum. These will be completed in small steps as we upgrade individual software addons. You might occasionally see a maintenance message that will last a few minutes at most.

    If we anticipate an update will take more than a few minutes, we'll put up a notice with estimated time.

    Thank you!

    I picked up this clock at an estate sale last summer. It is missing its topper and had several other mechanical issues, including the wrong pendulum. Everything has been fixed and the clock is now working okay. I'd like to know any information about the clock. For instance, is this a...

    Anyone recognize the maker of this watch?

    The only setting comes from pulling out the crown. If you advance the time, at the 24 hour mark, the calendar features adjust.

    Elgin BW Raymond Grade 571

    I note the Bulletin article referred to in my first post stated the Canadian examples they observed were Factory Cased. The article states Canadian pocket case production may have ceased by the time these watches were produced.

    Elgin BW Raymond Grade 571

    I purchased this watch about a year ago. In looking at the excellent articles written in the Bulletin in 1996 about the Elgin 571 by E. Uberall and K. Singer, I learned that the Elgin 571's sold in to the Canadian market were factory cased. This watch is in a Canadian made case that looks...
