Illinois Watch Co. was in operation from 1869-1948 and produced some of the most renowned railroad-grade movements ever manufactured. Watches were produced in their factory in Springfield, Illinois.
This Illinois pocket watch was manufactured in Springfield, Illinois, and was finished in 1925. The watch is powered by the 406 grade movement, which is a 19 jewel Illinois in-house movement that was produced between 1913-1926. The movement is in exceptional condition with beautiful damaskeening and bright golden movement accents. The golden accents were completed by Illinois at the time of manufacture in 1925, and the hands of the watch have been restored to their original blue color. The Illinois dial is metal with a beautiful textured guilloche motif that is dynamic in the light. The watch is cased in a new silver-colored wrist watch conversion case so the watch can be enjoyed on your wrist. The watch comes fully serviced and ready for your next adventure. Because of our dedication to preserving history, the timepiece comes complete with the original gold filled pocket watch case.
