Watch Description

What makes the Springfield 607 unique: The Springfield 607 is an excellent example of our American Artisan Series watches. Featuring an antique pocket watch dial and movement originally made in 1920 by the Illinois Watch Company, this particular historical mechanism is rare due to the jewel count being printed on the dial. We decided on a bronzed titanium case because we thought it appropriate for the beautifully patinaed dial and movement. The black strap works well with the black numerals, but this watch would look great with many shades of brown as well.

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.
