An Art Deco silhouette scaled down to the wrist, with sculpted scroll lugs framing a softly aged dial. The Elgin-signed face carries its original hands and numerals beneath decades of honest patina, paired with a two-tone woven expansion band that slips on with ease. A piece that reads as much like a small sculpture as a timepiece.
