The movement boasts a highly sophisticated style with black numerals and a matching subdial that display crisply against its pristine white background. The front of the watch also features black solid diamond kite hands. We complemented the dial’s shades and elegant style by pairing it with our robust DLC black case and a nickel-plated crown. On the back of the watch, you can view its 384-grade open-face movement with highly desirable details, such as its Breguet hairspring, Mosley regulator, quick train, and going barrel. This stunning watch also features gold-plated gears and 17 ruby and sapphire screw-set jewels throughout its ¾ plate. Finally, we continued emphasizing the watch’s one-of-a-kind style by equipping it with our hand-crafted Black leather watch strap.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe Elgin National Watch Company initially produced the Chicago 477’s pocket watch in Elgin, Illinois, in 1921 — the same year Charles Chaplin Productions released the iconic silent film The Kid. The Kid has stood the test of time through its mix of drama and Chaplin-styled comedy and is widely regarded as one of the best silent-era films. The film features Charlie Chaplin’s iconic character “The Tramp” along with a child — the titular kid — played by Jackie Coogan. At the time of the film’s release, Coogan was known for his vaudeville performances, and many now consider him the first major child star. Tragically, Chaplin’s infant son died just ten days before production began on The Kid, leading many film enthusiasts to speculate that his heart-wrenching performance sprang from his personal tragedy. The Library of Congress entered the film into the United States National Film Registry in 2011.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vortic Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39978236477518,"sku":null,"price":2500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1710\/0345\/products\/2022-08-24-8866.jpg?v=1661437852","url":"https:\/\/vorticwatches.mom\/products\/the-chicago-477-46mm","provider":"Vortic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
