The Springfield 410 is the 410th 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 (1880s – 1950s) 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 410 Unique: We are pleased to be introducing you to the Springfield 410. We cased this movement with our antique bronze, to match the rustic qualities of this watch. Originally manufactured in 1923, during a time when gold and silver were a sign of prosperity. We wanted to pair this dial with gold accents to truly showcase these gold full moon hands. We added our natural band as well as gold-plated hardware throughout, as well. We especially took notice of the third and fourth wheel bridges and how the curvature of the design flows well with the shape of the balance wheel. We love the partial mirror finish on the mainspring and ratchet plate that helps accentuate the circular machine finish on the main plate. The definition of an Autocrat is "a ruler who has absolute power". This impeccable Illinois movement embodies the sophistication of the Autocrat, with the visual power and the tenacity to keep running for years to come. Also in 1923, the very first issue of Time Magazine was published in March of this same year. 1923 4173342
