What makes the Springfield 547 unique: Today, we’re thrilled to present to you this breathtaking watch that was originally manufactured by the Illinois Watch Company — the Springfield 547. The front of this splendid watch boasts an antique, cream-colored dial with bold, golden-brown numerals and also features a distinct, aged center with blued steel solid diamond kite watch hands. We matched this elegant pocket watch with our opulent-looking and powerful PVD Zircon Gold case, and we topped it off with a gold-plated crown to highlight the patinaed face. On the back of the watch, you can see its antique 127-grade open-face movement with a Going barrel, nickel finish, pendant setting, and center bridge plate. The rear side of this stunning piece also displays robust and eye-catching gold-plated gears that spin freely on 17 remarkable jewels. Finally, we paired this one-of-a-kind watch with our comfortable Cordovan Black leather watch strap, making this sophisticated timepiece even more unforgettable.

The Illinois Watch Company initially produced the Springfield 547’s pocket watch in Springfield, Illinois, in 1932 — the same year that Hattie Wyatt Caraway became the first woman to serve a full term as a United States Senator. Technically, the first woman to become a US Senator was Rebecca Latimer Felton of Georgia, but she only served a single day as a senator. Hattie Caraway was born in Tennessee, but she was elected as a representative for Arkansas. She served as an US Senator until 1945, when she lost the Democratic nomination to J. William Fulbright.
