The timepiece sports a dial with a pristine, white background and bold numerals. The dial also features dark gray minute and hour hands. We paired this elegant yet straightforward pocket watch with our powerful Machined Titanium case and nickel-plated crown. The case and crown glimmer impressively and add even more brilliance to the piece. The Machined Titanium’s clear back allows you to view the timepiece’s breathtaking 345-grade open-face movement as well as other stunning details, including a Breguet hairspring and Moseley regulator. The watch also features lavish-looking gold-plated gears powered by 17 screw-set ruby and sapphire jewels. To top it all off, we equipped the watch with our comfortable, one-of-a-kind Mojave leather watch strap, adding a rustic touch to the distinguished timepiece. The Elgin National Watch Company initially manufactured the pocket watch in Elgin, Illinois, in 1920 — the same year that the United States had its first commercial broadcast. The Pittsburgh-based AM radio station KDKA made the first radio broadcast on November 2 to report the presidential election results. That year, Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge trounced James M. Cox and Franklin D. Roosevelt by 277 electoral votes, and Harding won the popular vote by over 7 million votes. Although the KDKA’s election coverage was a groundbreaking moment in US broadcast history, only around 1000 people heard it. \u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Vortic Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39757924433998,"sku":null,"price":2500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1710\/0345\/products\/2022-04-12-7588.jpg?v=1649802740","url":"https:\/\/vorticwatches.mom\/products\/the-chicago-472-46mm","provider":"Vortic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
