What makes the Springfield 515 unique: Today, were pleased to present this exquisite piece initially produced by the Illinois Watch Company over a century ago — the Springfield 515. The original pocket watch features a highly unique dial with a detailed center design, black bold numerals, and an eye-catching blue-gray background color. The front of the watch also boasts breathtaking aqua heavy moon watch hands and a helpful subdial. We made this piece even more special by encasing it within our robust Machined Titanium case, and we equipped it with a nickel-plated crown. On the back of the watch, you can view its stunning inner workings, including its 404-grade open-face movement with a nickel finish and pendant setting. The piece also comes with gold-plated gears and 17 stunning jewels throughout its center bridge plate. Finally, we matched the piece with our simple yet stylish handcrafted Black leather watch strap, complementing the pocket watchs gorgeous design and colors. The Illinois Watch Company originally manufactured the Springfield 515s splendid pocket watch in Springfield, Illinois, in 1917 — the same year that the womens suffrage group the Silent Sentinels of Liberty protested outside of the White House during Woodrow Wilsons presidency. The National Womans Party and suffragette Alice Stokes Paul organized the picket protest made up of over 2,000 women. Around 500 of the protesters were arrested for the illegal protest, and 168 ended up serving jail time. Two years after the Silent Sentinels White House protest, the House of Representatives and Senate passed the Nineteenth Amendment, granting women the right to vote.
