The Springfield 325 is the 325th 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 (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.
Our machined bronze case was a no brainer with the beautiful accents in the center of the dial as well as the patina around the dial! Each movement and dial is unique piece of history and this dial obviously has a story to tell. Manufactured in 1923 and to lend some context, that was the year The Hollywood Sign is inaugurated in California! We could see this watch on someone like a John Barrymore from that time period.
