The "Grade 167," an exceptionally rare 0-size movement from ELGIN, a manufacturer renowned for producing numerous movements, especially stands out from the late 19th century.
The unique form of the escapement plate, characteristic of 19th-century movements, is adorned with ELGIN's signature dazzling damaskeening pattern. Furthermore, intricate hand-engraved decorative letters and floral motifs enhance its aesthetic appeal.
Equipped with a temperature-compensating bimetallic balance, this movement showcases a meticulously polished full gold train, including the rim and spokes. The plate for the pallet fork and balance wheel features gold accents, demonstrating a lavish specification that involves significant manual labor and cost, despite its 0-size.
A truly rare and precious movement, not often encountered!
