The Chicago 174 is the 174th 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 174 Unique: Even though Elgin made millions of pocket watches 100 years ago, they all end up looking different today! When framed with this all black look, the dial has true platform to shine.
