The Springfield 331 is the 331st 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.

What makes the Springfield 331 Unique: This dial speaks for itself! Most likely a jewelry store named Hallmark requested a handful of dials produced by Illinois watch company and this is one of them! The floral dial is simply eye-catching and so we chose a raw titanium case to accentuate the texture in this watch. We chose a dark strap to allow the case and dial to be the focus. This movement was produced in 1924 in Illinois, the same year that at the University of Illinois’ new Memorial Stadium, Harold "Red" Grange known as the "Galloping Ghost," scores four touchdowns in twelve minutes against the University of Michigan.
