The Springfield 328 is the 328th 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 328 Unique: This movement and dial was originally manufactured in 1917 for Kay Jewelers. Kay Jewelery Co was only a year old back then. Founded in 1916 in Reading, Pennsylvania, the store in 1917 would have ordered a handful of these pocket watches from the Illinois Watch Company under a private label contract. We think the founders of Kay would be proud of how we restored this watch and kept it a Conversation Piece.
