The timepiece boasts a stunning dial with highly unique black numerals that display boldly against its light-cream-colored background. The dial also has stylish vertical lines that make the piece even more distinct, and it features dark-gray diamond kite minute and hour hands. We matched the original pocket watch with our robust and scratch-resistant Machined Titanium case and equipped it with a gold-plated crown. Our Machined Titanium case has a clear back, revealing the watch’s breathtaking 274-grade open-face movement with a nickel finish and pendant setting. The open back also displays the timepiece’s bronze-plated gears powered by 21 luxurious jewels throughout its ¾ plate. To top it off, we paired this exceptional watch with our comfortable, artisan-designed Natural leather watch strap. The Illinois Watch Company originally manufactured this piece in Springfield, Illinois, in 1923 — the same year President Warren Harding became the first president to pay taxes on his presidential salary. In 1922, President Harding received a presidential salary of $75,000 — around $1.3 million in 2022 — and paid $17,000 in taxes. Today, United States presidents receive a $400,000 salary and are still required to pay income taxes. \u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Vortic Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39848238448718,"sku":null,"price":4000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1710\/0345\/products\/2022-06-06-8243.jpg?v=1654621412","url":"https:\/\/vorticwatches.mom\/products\/the-springfield-510-46mm","provider":"Vortic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
