Elgin Seaman
Elgin Seaman
Elgin was a powerhouse of American watchmaking. As one of the first in commercial watchmaking, they were always on the cutting edge of development. The Shockmaster series of watches was part of that innovation with modern shock protection for the mainspring unlike many contemporaries. One of the joys of collecting Shockmasters is that there is a flavor for everyone from fancy to rugged. You could spend a lifetime collecting them.
