The Springfield 351 is the 351st 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 351 Unique: This dial embodies the phrase, "simple is beautiful" with it's pristine white background, newspaper bold numerals and a subtle gold accent in the hands and the circle on the inside of the dial. Very unique, the luminous hands might be the only "ornate" aspect of this watch overall. Our DLC black case made for a great pair to accent the numeral style and we matched the gold themes with our round gold crown and rye strap. The movement in this watch is an Autocrat movement (one of our team's favorites) and was produced in 1919 by the Illinois Watch Company. For some context, 1919 was the year the Rotary Dial telephone was invented - 101 years ago!
