Watch Description
What makes the Burlington 006 unique: Some classics are classic for a reason, and this one is as classic as they come. The vintage characteristics and modern elements of the Burlington 006 were carefully paired by our expert watchmakers to build a clean and cohesive timepiece with a timeless design.
The nearly flawless white dial, bold black Arabic numerals, and antique moon hands comprise a watch face that is as versatile as it is stylish. Whether it's worn under a suit cuff or with a T-shirt and jeans, its no-nonsense aesthetic and high-quality components will stand out and turn heads whenever and wherever the moment brings you.
The 45 mm tumbled titanium case has been outfitted with a contrasting polished steel bezel with an angled construction that catches the light and provides a dynamic transition from case to face. The stainless steel crown, machined in-house, was crafted with square knurling with a practical, tactile presence for ease of winding the mainspring of its impressively engineered 21-jewel movement.
Although it's 101 years old, the movement, which features a center-bridge construction, is in excellent condition, with crisp engraving, Geneva striping, and intricate decoration. Inside our solid titanium case and visible through a sapphire crystal case back, its double-roller design and robust craftsmanship are ready to meet the demands of the next 101 years.
Movement Manufacturer Information
The movement inside of this watch was made by Burlington Watch Company. We call this model "The Burlington" because the company was located in Burlington, Illinois.
The Burlington Watch Company is unique in the sense that it did not manufacture its own watches. Only operating from 1908-1925, the Illinois Watch Company actually produced the vast majority of Burlington brand watches. The company sold watches by mail order on credit with payment plans. The called themselves the anti-trust watch saying that other companies fixed prices and forced consumers to pay extra because of the middleman. Their goal was to make high-quality watches available to those who couldn't normally afford them.

Let customers speak for us
The Movement
The engine that powers this watch is an antique American pocket watch movement. All the gears and springs that make it tell time are roughly 100 years old on average. We call these watches the American Artisan Series because we're celebrating the history and legacy of the artisan watchmakers who built this engineering marvel a century ago in the United States.
The Story
Today most pocket watches are scrapped for the gold or silver of the case (the outside of the antique timepiece), leaving the inside (what we call the "movement") as trash.
We take pride in upcycling these pieces of American history by salvaging as many as we can, then preserving them inside our wristwatches.
Our expert team of watchmakers restores the antique movement and then we manufacture a custom wristwatch case here in Fort Collins, Colorado.
The Strap
We partnered with Worn & Wound to produce a custom set of straps for our American Artisan Series watches. We now have 15 different colors to choose from including our two Horween Shell Cordovan options. These straps are made in the USA and are based on the Windup Model 2 Premium strap that Worn and Wound offers.
