The Chicago 385 is the 385th 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 385 Unique: The Chicago 385 is a great mix of seemingly modern style but with old-world patina. The pinstripe pattern on the dial is very rare, and the last time we saw it, the dial was almost overly shiny. This dial however has been worn over time and the patina is just perfect. Even the movement has some patina around the edges. You can definitely tell this piece is roughly 100 years old!--
