1929 ILLINOIS Atlantic Engraved Watch Grade 24 U.S.A. Made 14K G.F.

ILLINOIS Watch Co.   The Illinois Watch Company was one of the premier American watch manufactures. It was founded on December 23, 1870, in Springfield, Illinois by John C. Adams, John Whitfield Bun, and various additional financiers. Twenty years later, Jacob Bunn, Jr. took over and ran the company until his death in 1926. "Today, these watches are prized by collectors and designers for their look and reliability. Engineered during a time when the automobile still sported wooden spokes, this futuristic wrist-machine is glorious." Illinois Watch Company was not behind to see the good reception that wristwatches received during WWI and felt the time has come for expanded wristwatch manufacturing. Without a doubt, the company maintained an obsession for every detail, producing timepieces that are not just exciting, but also elegant and extraordinarily well-crafted. "A big successful seller based on outstanding merit."ILLINOIS "Atlantic" EngravedArt Deco WristwatchThis is a STUNNING timep
