The Springfield 334 is the 334th one-of-a-kind piece in Vortic's "Springfield" 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 Springfield 334 Unique: If only we could hear the stories of the history these dials and movements have to tell! This dial features a striking design in the center that depicts mirrored dragons breathing smoke. We aren't totally sure of the "why" behind this design but paired with the gold numerals it is simply eye-catching. You can also see some sort of scratching at 12 o'clock, looking like someone removed something from the dial - who knows what was there before! We used our machined titanium case and gold crown to draw on the natural features in this watch. It's not every day that we get to use the Olive strap but we feel like it really works with this piece. It's no surprise that this dragon dial comes with a fire, 21 jewel movement produced in 1932 by the Springfield Watch Company.
