The Chicago Manual Wind // 046 // c.1900 Renewal
Product Description
The Chicago Manual Wind is a 100% made in America pocket watch conversion. This antique, 12 size (47mm case), Elgin National Watch Company pocket watch movement (timekeeping portion) was originally made in 1900 near Chicago, Illinois. This particular watch features a very rare, 19 jewel, adjusted movement with gilded lettering. The movement has been professionally restored and is keeping time like the day it was made. The Patent Pending case is 3D printed from stainless steel and infiltrated with molten bronze before an “Antique Bronze" patina was applied. Each case is engraved with a unique serial number, this watch being serial #046.
The custom made, gold plated crown is at 12 o'clock, also known as the “openface” pocket watch style. All watches have open, exhibition backs. Both the front and back crystals are made from Corning Gorilla Glass with an oleophobic (fingerprint resistant) coating. The dial is stylized, double sunk metal with black painted, retro style numerals and original blued steel hands. All bands are 22mm and handcrafted in the United Stated using American Leather. All Vortic Watch Co watches come with an 18 month, limited lifetime warranty (visit vorticwatches.com to learn more). Vortic also offers service plans to maintain and preserve the movements over the life of the watch. Each watch comes in Vortic’s Artisan Series salvaged walnut watch box adorned with hand-cut leather straps and custom brass hardware.
