    I liked the music but if you could show the watches longer that would be cool. Definitely a nice video. Hopefully I can get hold of an Elgin watch in good shape. My dad told me years ago that Elgins were good watches.

    A little constructive critique. It would have been nice to have not flashed the images of the watches so quickly, after all, this was meant to be about them and also the music was wholly inappropriate and really tiring to listen to when you think what the average age of the type of audience for this is.
    Please make another more in depth video on the museum please as many of us Elgin watch fans would love to see it!

    Is Bill Briska’s book still available? Amazon has a few copies but they are.. pricey.

      Sorry for the delay, not sure about Bill’s book perhaps call the watch museum in Elgin & ask for Bill & he may be able to help you better.

      Hi Deandre, your very lucky to receive an Elgin watch. They are very hard to come by these days. If your unsure go to a jeweler and he will confirm your questions. Good luck & Thanks for watching.
