The watch boasts an elegant dial with bold black hour numerals and orange minute numerals that look stunning against its pristine white background. The front of the watch also features black diamond kite hands and a matching subdial. We paired this one-of-a-kind pocket watch with our robust and stylish Gunmetal case and equipped it with a copper crown. Our Gunmetal case has a transparent back, enabling you to view the watch’s remarkable inner workings, and the piece features a 405-grade open-face movement with a center bridge and going barrel. The movement also features gold-plated gears powered by 17 stunning jewels. Finally, we paired the piece with our comfortable, handcrafted Stone leather watch strap, making this piece even more unforgettably sophisticated. \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Illinois Watch Company initially produced this marvelous pocket watch in Springfield, Illinois, in 1917 — the same year that Columbia University gave out the first Pulitzer Prize. Newspaper publisher Joseph Pulitzer created the Pulitzer Prize in his will. He allocated $250,000 for a series of awards, including four journalism awards, four traveling scholarships, one education award, and one award in letters and drama. The first Pulitzer Prize winners include Jean Jules Jusserand for With Americans of Past and Present Days, Laura E. Richards and Maude How Elliott for Julia Ward Howe, 1819-1910, and Herbert Bayard Swope for articles he published in New York World.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vortic Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39916277563470,"sku":null,"price":2500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1710\/0345\/products\/SPRINGFIELD-WOTD-2022-07-25-520_1317.jpg?v=1658848137","url":"https:\/\/vorticwatches.mom\/products\/the-springfield-520-46mm","provider":"Vortic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
