The pocket watch within the Chicago 048 tells its own fascinating story right on the dial, making this history easy for everyone to see. A pristine white face with classic black numerals is unassuming until you see the insignia and slogan of the Packard Motor Car Company on the left. “Ask the man who owns one” and “of a distinguished family” boldly reflect Packard’s confidence in the quality and elegance of their cars. Pocket watches such as this one were given to Packard employees for retirement gifts or celebrations of service to the company. Surely, Packard employees were proud to brandish a reflection of their hard work and high standards, and that pride is carried in this piece. We chose a two-toned stainless steel case with a coin-edged bronze bezel and black leather strap to complete this distinguished homage to quality. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vortic Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47952843538733,"sku":null,"price":4500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1710\/0345\/files\/VORTIC-CHICAGO-WOTD2024-01-08-048_17313.jpg?v=1706295951","url":"https:\/\/vorticwatches.mom\/products\/the-chicago-048-49mm","provider":"Vortic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
