       @publius An Elgin! My wife is from there (Elgin, IL).  The watch factory is, sadly, long since torn down.

       @zoerhoff Yes, this specimen, from the 1970s, was made in Switzerland (case as well as movement). I guess "Elgin" had become pretty much a brand by that time, on its way to being nothing at all.
