Watches were produced in their factory in Springfield, Illinois.* Originally manufactured by the Illinois Watch Company in Springfield, Illinois, this piece dates to 1916. On the movement side, we did our typical restoration work—hand-polishing the brass jewel settings, balance weights, and the balance itself. We took it a step further by thermally coloring the crown and ratchet wheels to bring out some beautiful color and contrast. The dial side needs no explanation—it’s an all-original gilt dial, and the pictures speak for themselves. The conversion was completed right here in our shop in Little Rock, Arkansas 🇺🇸, and this piece is ready for a new wrist. **Price**: $1,949, But negotiable—especially to someone with an interest getting into vintage American watchmaking. **Case**: 316L stainless (surgical grade steel), 44 mm diameter, 47 mm lug to lug (52 mm with crown), 13 mm height, front/back sapphire crystals that are AR coated. Front, back, and crown gaskets provide 50 meters of water resistance although it is recommended to take the piece off before water activities. **Shipping**: UPS 2nd Day Air free in the USA. International shipping via DHL Express (\~$100), which takes approximately one week. **Payment Method**: PayPal, PayPal Credit, Venmo, Apple Pay, CashApp, Wise, Afterpay, Affirm, Klarna, and All Major Credit Cards **Service History**: The watch was serviced in 2025 and comes with a 1-year service warranty.
