The Springfield 340 is the 340th 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 340 Unique: Now this is a Conversation Piece. The original antique movement dial and hands inside this watch were manufactured by the Illinois Watch Company in 1916. This movement is what we call "two-tone" meaning that the bridges were manufactured from brass, plated with rhodium, and then the outside layer of rhodium was machined off to create that look. The metal dial has just the right amount of patina, and we used a gold crown to try to accentuate the gold color in the numerals.
