The Springfield 233 is the 233rd one-of-a-kind piece in Vortic's "Springfield 233" line of the American Artisan Series. This watch contains the original movement (timepiece), dial (face), and hands from a vintage (1880’s – 1950’s) 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 233 Unique: If you saw the Burlington 016 you'll recognize the style of this dial. That is because the Illinois Watch Company manufactured all of the Burlington pocketwatches and there was much overlap in those designs. We put this Illinois dial and movement into a bronze case to accentuate the patina and create a conversation piece.
