The Chicago 080 is the 80th one-of-a-kind piece in Vortic's "Chicago" line of the American Artisan Series. This watch contains the original movement (timepiece), dial (face), and hands from a vintage (1880’s – 1950’s) pocket watch. The American Artisan Series is a line of fully American Made wristwatches powered by restored, U.S. made pocket watch movements.
What makes the Chicago 080 Unique: We love the texture added when we case a movement and dial in our 3D bronzed titanium like we did with this watch. Between the case, the gold crown and on-laid numerals this watch has so much dimension and texture to it. The movement is 17jewels and was produced by the Elgin National Watch Company in 1925.
