Uh, that's not a Canon 5DS R. It's the innards of an Elgin watch.

In the '70s while in college in Chicago, my wife & I would take Il 20 just for the fun of it, back to Rockford and her parents home. It was always a peaceful journey and we would come through Elgin and I was always amazed at the watch factory, a distinctive old building. We also would pass the Plymouth plant in Belvedere where the car was named for. Great memories.

Amazing that you can still find out this much information about a 110 year old pocket watch.
