This watch features a beautifully preserved antique pocket watch dial with an intricate engine-turned pattern, showcasing concentric rings that radiate from the center. The bold, serifed numerals and distinct blued steel hands give this piece a timeless elegance, while the warm patina on the dial reminds us of its nearly 100-year journey. Inside, you™ll find a remarkable Illinois Watch Company movement, originally crafted in 1922. This movement is particularly specialengraved with œ21 Special, it signifies a high-grade 21-jewel movement, built for accuracy and durability. Watches like these were once the pinnacle of American craftsmanship, designed for precision timekeeping at a time when reliability was paramount. In 1922, America was moving forward at full speed, and Illinois was manufacturing some of the finest pocket watches in the world. That same year, the Lincoln Memorial was dedicated in Washington, D.C., cementing the legacy of one of America's greatest leadersa fitting parallel to this watch, a piece of American history preserved for the future. To complete this watch, we housed the movement in our machined stainless steel case, allowing the details of the dial and movement to take center stage.

Every element of this watch is a testament to our commitment to preserving history and showcasing the best of American manufacturing.
