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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"optional-custom-description\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes the Chicago 421 Unique: \u003c\/strong\u003eOften when we come across extremely high-quality movements, we try to keep them with their original dial and set them aside for special releases. This particular Elgin has a magnificent 23 Jewel movement with all the bells and whistles, intricately machined with ornate designs and pure sterling silver hardware. Made in a very low quantity run, only 3,000 of these movements were ever made. This particular batch contained only 1,000 in total. They paired this top-of-the-line movement with an incredibly special dial, which is 93.5 %, Sterling Silver. We really love the combination of such gorgeous and eye-catching double sunk Silver details, surrounded by a more aged look around the gold numerals. A soft sandblasted titanium case continues the silver look of this watch, without taking too much attention away from this flashy dial. Natural strap, gold plated crown, and hardware finish off the fine details of this amazing timepiece. Originally manufactured in 1898 in Elgin, Illinois, this watch is still working well in all its glory at over 123 years old! At the same time, New York City is becoming more of a prominent location on the East Coast and begins to absorb land from cities surrounding it to become Greater New York. Eventually splitting up the city into five separate boroughs, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"mvmnt-year-initial\"\u003e1898\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"mvmnt-serial-initial\"\u003e7425571\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vortic Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39341718044750,"sku":null,"price":4500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1710\/0345\/products\/2021-04-29-2941.jpg?v=1619731053","url":"https:\/\/vorticwatches.mom\/products\/the-chicago-421-46mm","provider":"Vortic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
