The Springfield 380 is the 380th 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 380 Unique: Each and every watch we make has been carefully planned down to the smallest details in such a way to accentuate its special characteristics as well as embrace its storied past. We absolutely love it when we can match up these fantastic Gothic hands to the Gothic style numerals along with this very ornate dial. The machined titanium and nickel-plated crown make everything pop and the black cordovan strap brings it all together for a wonderfully classy timepiece. The Sterling branding on this movement makes this particular version of the Illinois Watch company stand out from others like it. This movement is powered by a micrometer regulator and Breguet hairspring, adorned with 17 screw-set jewels and gold plated hardware. This watch was originally manufactured in Springfield, Illinois in 1925, not far away on the other side of Lake Michigan, the Chrysler Corporation was founded in the same year.
