It was the largest Watch Company in terms of production, well topping its closet competitor, the American Waltham Watch Company (1851-1957) of Massachusetts. In 1874, the company officially changed its name to the Elgin National Watch Company and in 1910 it made its first wrist watch. Watches made by the Elgin National Watch Company, provided they are serviced and kept clean, can accurately keep time no matter what their age may be today.
