The Springfield 357 is the 357th one-of-a-kind piece in Vortic's "Springfield" 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 Springfield 357 Unique: This is one of the older movements we have seen and although we can't be sure if this dial has always lived on this movement we hope it has! The black detail on the dial is exquisite, a maze-like pattern lining the inside of the numerals and a vine-like design around the outside. The numeral style matches the whimsy of the rest of the dial. We chose our DLC machined black case paired with our round nickel crown and stout strap to frame the decor of the dial. The slightest pop of color can be found in the classic blue steel hands! This Springfield Watch Company movement has 17jewels and was produced in 1890, the same year Wyoming and Idaho are admitted as the 43rd and 44th states.
