The Chicago 391 is the 391st 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 391 Unique: For those that want just a little bit of patina, but are still looking for a watch that's clean, wearable every day, and easy to tell the time, this one is perfect. We love the engraving in the center of the dial and we used a raw copper crown that will also patina and slowly match the dial over time. The Elgin movement was originally manufactured in 1927, which, fun fact, was the year of the worlds first armored car robbery. The Flathead Gang robbed an armored car near Pittsburgh, PA in March of 1927!
