The Chicago 401 is the 401th one-of-a-kind piece in Vortic's "Chicago" line of the American Artisan Series. This watch contains the original movement (timepiece), dial (face), and hands from a vintage (1880’s – 1950’s) pocket watch. The American Artisan Series is a line of fully American Made wristwatches powered by restored, U.S. made pocket watch movements.
What makes the Chicago 401 Unique: Everything that glitters is the Chicago 401! A machined titanium case enhances the sparkle in the ornate floral silver filigree dial design. The floral motif continues on the back of the movement, with flowers engraved on the plate above the balance wheel. This intricately elegant Elgin movement was produced in 1908, which is the same year the Chicago Cub won their second back to back World Series Win.
