Scarce Elgin “Louise Boulanger” ladies’ Art Deco design wristwatch in 14K white gold fill with royal blue enamel bezel, circa 1929.
In the 1920s, no other watch manufacturer could match Elgin’s Art Deco designs for ladies’ wristwatches. Elgin retained top designers of international prominence to create some fantastic designs. This “Louise Boulanger” has triangular blue enamel inserts on the bezel and stylized Art Deco designs along the case edges, and was priced to consumers at $35.00 in 1929. This example is in near mint condition with no brassing. Enamel is superb and complete, with only a few light marks. Caseback is superb and unengraved. The case measures 30mm long and 17mm wide. Original dial is excellent. Has new glass crystal. This watch is powered by its correct 7 jewel Elgin grade 488 movement.
