We really enjoy the visual display of this watch that reaches out and grabs your attention right away and brings you in for a closer look. The bright shimmer of the machined titanium case brings out the finer details of this double-sunk dial and the intricate machine work within the center. The dark angular numerals stand out as well as these blued-steel open-kite hands. We added a stone strap to soften off the feel a bit, as well as a nickel-plated crown and hardware throughout. The movement inside of this watch begs to be shown off and explored, with all of these wonderful precious metal elements that are sprinkled all through the inside. Rose-gold gears and a brass balance wheel combine perfectly with the brass hardware that sets in all 21 of these precious jewels, while this amazing build plate with carefully machined Geneva lines draws everything together nicely. This watch was originally manufactured in 1926 by the Illinois Watch Company in Springfield, Illinois. At the time when this watch was sold, depending on the content of gold in the original case, this watch would have been sold for anywhere between $180-$200. At the very same time, land in New York City on Broadway and Wall Street hit a record-breaking $7 per square inch.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Vortic Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39509256437838,"sku":null,"price":3200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1710\/0345\/products\/2021-10-05-5065.jpg?v=1633472977","url":"https:\/\/vorticwatches.mom\/products\/the-springfield-442-46mm","provider":"Vortic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
