Watch Description

What makes the Springfield 076 unique: This timepiece features a meticulously restored 1925 Illinois movement with 17 jewels and gold-capped jewel settings. Encased in a lightweight yet durable tumbled titanium case, matching crown, and coin-edge bezel, all machined in-house, it exudes both heritage and modern craftsmanship and has been fitted with a 22 mm American-made black Cordovan watch strap. The patinaed dial, highlighted by a gold sub-dial and heat-blued Gothic hands, adds a touch of vintage elegance. 

This unique combination of antique craftsmanship and innovation ensures that this piece is not only a functional work of art but also a rare collector’s item imbued with 99 years of American history.

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.
