Elgin Grade 875

This is an Elgin grade 875, Lady Elgin model, 17 jewels.  It's actually a Swiss import from the company last years.

Movements like this are the result of "size wars" in the industry, and in style; efforts to create ever smaller movements.  It really did get quit out of hand as these things are a bit impractical.  They are fragile, accuracy is a problem and they require frequent service.
