What makes the Chicago 477 unique: Today, were delighted to showcase this sleek and stylish watch originally manufactured by the Elgin National Watch Company over a century ago — the Chicago 477. The movement boasts a highly sophisticated style with black numerals and a matching subdial that display crisply against its pristine white background. The front of the watch also features black solid diamond kite hands. We complemented the dials shades and elegant style by pairing it with our robust DLC black case and a nickel-plated crown. On the back of the watch, you can view its 384-grade open-face movement with highly desirable details, such as its Breguet hairspring, Mosley regulator, quick train, and going barrel. This stunning watch also features gold-plated gears and 17 ruby and sapphire screw-set jewels throughout its ¾ plate. Finally, we continued emphasizing the watchs one-of-a-kind style by equipping it with our hand-crafted Black leather watch strap. The Elgin National Watch Company initially produced the Chicago 477s pocket watch in Elgin, Illinois, in 1921 — the same year Charles Chaplin Productions released the iconic silent film The Kid. The Kid has stood the test of time through its mix of drama and Chaplin-styled comedy and is widely regarded as one of the best silent-era films. The film features Charlie Chaplins iconic character The Tramp along with a child — the titular kid — played by Jackie Coogan. At the time of the films release, Coogan was known for his vaudeville performances, and many now consider him the first major child star. Tragically, Chaplins infant son died just ten days before production began on The Kid, leading many film enthusiasts to speculate that his heart-wrenching performance sprang from his personal tragedy. The Library of Congress entered the film into the United States National Film Registry in 2011.
