Watches were produced in their factory in Springfield, Illinois.* Got to love this detail. Everything here is original and added by Illinois in Springfield, Illinois, at the time of manufacture in 1922, including the golden movement accents and heat-blued hands. It is always a privilege to work on a piece like this, knowing it has lived through a century of history yet still retains characteristics that made Illinois a premier watchmaker of its time. We carefully hand-polished the brass jewel settings and movement plates, restoring their original brilliance without compromising the finer details. The result? A movement that looks like it just left the factory floor, yet still carries the character of a well-preserved vintage piece. The dial is all original, featuring an intricate guilloché motif at the center with a rich gilt finish, while the original heat-blued hands provide a striking contrast against it. Expertly converted and finished right here in Little Rock, Arkansas, USA. **Price**: $1,899, But absolutely negotiable—especially to someone with an interest in getting involved in vintage American watchmaking. **Case**: 316L stainless, 44 mm diameter, 47 mm lug to lug (52 mm with crown), 13 mm height, front/back sapphire crystals. Front, back, and crown gaskets provide 50 meters of water resistance although it is recommended to take the piece off before water activities. **Shipping**: UPS 2nd Day Air free in the USA. International shipping via DHL Express (\~$100), which takes approximately one week. **Payment Method**: PayPal, PayPal Credit, Venmo, Apple Pay, CashApp, Wise, Afterpay, Affirm, Klarna, and All Major Credit Cards **Service History**: The watch was serviced in 2025 and comes with a 1-year service warranty.
