Watch Description

What makes the Springfield 041 unique: Originally manufactured in 1927, this pocket watch conversion is a testament to the timeless design and craftsmanship of the Illinois Watch Company. A cream dial is accompanied by gold numerals and delicate gothic hands that accent the gold-plated gears of the 17-jewel movement. We've contrasted these elements with our machined stainless steel case and crown and paired them with a cordovan leather oxblood strap, resulting in a sophisticated and elegant timepiece that will surely draw attention.

Movement Manufacturer Information

The movement inside of this watch was made by Illinois Watch Company. We call this model "The Springfield" because the company was located in Springfield, Illinois.

Originally called the Springfield Watch Company, Illinois came to Springfield, Illinois in 1869 while the "modern" watch industry was fairly new but highly promising. City officials felt that the addition of industry to the city of Springfield would be excellent for the city's growth. However, after a series of failures and re-brandings, the company had a slow start until 1903 when they decided to manufacture high-quality watches only. Eventually making some of the most beautiful watches of their time, the company sold to Hamilton in 1927. Hamilton continued producing watches under the Illinois name for some time, but the original Springfield factory no longer stands.
