The Chicago 120 is powered by a 17-jewel Elgin movement manufactured in 1928 and distinguished by a beautifully engraved center dial that immediately sets it apart from more conventional examples. The intricate floral medallion, bold Arabic numerals, and striking blued-steel hands create a layered and highly collectible design that reflects the artistry of American pocket watch manufacturing during its golden era.
Visible through the exhibition caseback, the movement showcases decorative damaskeening, gold jewel settings, and the exposed balance assembly that brings the watch to life. Housed within Vortic’s 45mm sandblasted stainless steel case and paired with a black leather strap, the Chicago 120 combines mechanical heritage, decorative craftsmanship, and nearly a century of American watchmaking history.
