What makes the Springfield 545 unique: Today, were excited to present to you this highly distinct watch originally manufactured by the Illinois Watch Company in 1926 — the Springfield 545. The antique pocket watch movement features a handsome dial with a golden center design pattern. This pattern features an intricate circular outline with stunning vertical lines in the center, some of which are straight while others waver aesthetically. This golden center looks especially stunning against the dials light-gray background. Finally, the front of the watch boasts bold, black numerals and blued steel diamond kite watch hands. We encased this breathtaking pocket watch within our Bronzed Titanium case and topped it off with a gold-plated crown, matching the dials center pattern. The back of the watch reveals a remarkable 274-grade open-face movement with a going barrel, Reed regulator, and double barrel escapement. You can also see the movements breathtaking gold-plated gears and 21 beautiful jewels throughout its ¾ plate. We added our comfortable, artisan-designed Natural leather watch strap to tie the piece together, and this strap complements the wristwatchs color palette to make the final product even more special. The Illinois Watch Company initially produced this handsome watch in Springfield, Illinois, in 1926 — the same year that the Aloha Tower was built in Honolulu, Hawaii. The Aloha Towers architect, Arthur L. Reynolds, designed the tower in the Hawaiian Gothic architectural style, and it served as an important lighthouse until 1975. Although the building no longer serves as a lighthouse, its still an important Hawaii landmark, and it was added to the National Registry of Historic Places in 1976.
