Watch Description

What makes the Springfield 463 unique: Today, we are proud to present this incredible piece from the Illinois Watch Company — the Springfield 463. Originally manufactured in 1921 by the Illinois Watch Company, the Springfield 463 features a rustic watch face design, bold type numbers, and a clear display case that reveals the intricate nickel gears with gold details. Our Machined Bronze case complements the color and patterns of the dial and sub-dial wonderfully. This high-quality A. Lincoln grade timepiece is powered by 21 jewels and has an incredibly durable and scratch-resistant coating to preserve the history of this incredible piece. Lastly, our Tobacco leather strap brings unity to this timepiece, matching our Machined Bronze case and the bronze detailing on the dial. This watch was originally produced in Springfield, Illinois, in 1921 — the same year that Congresswoman Alice Mary Robertson became the first woman to preside over the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.

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.
