The featured antique pocket watch was originally crafted in 1924 by Elgin Watch Company in Elgin, Illinois and we've taken great care to preserve its original charm while adding a modern twist. The art nouveau numerals are simultaneously contrasted and accented by blued steel hands, and the movement's gold-plated gears catch the eye through the exhibition display back. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTo highlight the watch's vintage beauty, we designed a bronzed titanium case that perfectly complements its style. The knurled copper crown adds a luxurious touch, making it a true statement piece. We also wanted to ensure that the watch is comfortable to wear, so we paired it with a soft and supple moss leather strap that adds a touch of warmth and natural elegance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe movement highlighted in this watch was originally manufactured in 1924, the same year John Logie Baird successfully conducted the first practical test of television transmission in New York City. Using a mechanical system to transmit images, Baird's innovation paved the way for electronic television transmission. Charles Jenkins and Philo Farnsworth were also working on television technology at the time, and it took four more years for the first television station, WGY-TV, to begin broadcasting in the United States.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Vortic Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44739804922157,"sku":null,"price":2400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1710\/0345\/products\/2023-03-02-9999-4.jpg?v=1678800999","url":"https:\/\/vorticwatches.mom\/products\/the-chicago-530-46mm","provider":"Vortic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
