From pocket to wrist, honoring history and designed for today.
The Romans Jewelry First Edition wristwatch brings American watchmaking history back to life with an authentic 1914 Elgin pocket watch movement, marked with serial number 17439458. Carefully restored and converted in-house by Romans Jewelry in 2026, this one-of-a-kind timepiece is housed in a polished 43mm stainless steel case with sapphire crystal front and back, allowing the beauty of the movement to be seen and appreciated.
Inside, youโll find an Elgin Grade 334, 17-jewel mechanical hand-wind movement, a fine example of early American craftsmanship. The dial is signed Elgin and features bold black Arabic numerals, gold-tone decorative accents, elegant gold-tone hands, and a small seconds subdial that preserves its classic pocket watch character.
Finished with a warm golden brown genuine ostrich leather strap, this First Edition conversion blends vintage charm with modern wearability.
This Romans Jewelry First Edition timepiece comes with a 2-year warranty and includes one technical upgrade.
