What makes The Chicago 089 unique: The Chicago 089 stands out with a dial that feels straight from the pages of a 1920s design manual. Its vertically pinstriped surface evokes the refined tailoring of the era—subtle, stylish, and full of depth. Paired with bold Art Deco numerals, each outlined with a rich black drop shadow, the dial draws the eye into a layered interplay of light and line. At 6 oclock, a recessed sub-seconds dial balances the composition, while a pair of heat-blued gothic-style hands hovers above, providing just the right amount of contrast to the 98-year-old watch face. Inside, this piece is powered by a 17-jewel Elgin movement made in 1927. Peer through the exhibition caseback and youll see detailed geometric engraving across the plates—a striking tapestry of pattern and precision that highlights the artistry of early American watchmaking. Gold-toned gears and polished hardware complete the display, proving that the beauty of this watch extends far beyond its face. The 12-size movement is housed in a machined titanium case for optimal durability and weight, finished with a coin-edge bezel that mirrors the dials linear texture. A knurled titanium crown adds tactile interest, and the dark Horween leather strap with light contrast stitching brings everything together in a clean, confident package. This Elgin movement was manufactured in 1927—the same year Charles Lindbergh received the Medal of Honor for his solo flight across the Atlantic. That spirit of bold exploration and breakthrough innovation lives on in The Chicago 089, a timepiece that merges enduring craftsmanship with expressive design.
