The Springfield 394 is the 394th one-of-a-kind piece in Vortic's "Springfield" line of the American Artisan Series. This watch contains the original movement (timepiece), dial (face), and hands from a vintage (1880’s – 1950’s) pocket watch. The American Artisan Series is a line of fully American Made wristwatches powered by restored, U.S. made pocket watch movements.

What makes the Springfield 394 Unique: This 1927 timepiece, originally from the Illinois Watch Company, is the perfect mix of rustic and luxury. We love its bold, golden numerals so we had to accent them with our gold-plated crown and hardware. The double-sunk dial features a unique, ornate pattern and the perfect amount of wear and tear. The dial, which shows the years of service this watch has been through, is going to be the perfect conversation starter. We completed the details of this stunner with brilliant blue, kite-shaped hands and a machined titanium case. There is something truly special about older dials that manage to showcase their age while still holding a magnificent shine. The movement of this watch has some showing off to do of its own. Dramatic Geneva lines across the entire, ¾ build plate, a double roller escapement, brass balance wheel, and gold-plated gears help it do just that. This movement boasts 17 screw-set jewels and stainless steel hardware. On December 2 of the same year this watch was produced, The Ford Motor Company unveiled the Model A Automobile, 19 years after the debut of the Model T.
