Vortic Watch Co

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.

The Lancaster 135 is powered by a 17-jewel Hamilton Grade 917 movement manufactured in 1939 and showcases the refined design language that helped make Hamilton one of America’s most respected watchmakers. Its warm ivory dial features applied gold-tone Arabic numerals, elegant spade-style hands, and a recessed sub-seconds register that create a clean, balanced appearance with remarkable vintage character.

Visible through the exhibition caseback, the Grade 917 movement displays broad Geneva striping, gold jewel settings, polished components, and Hamilton’s distinctive spiral-pattern winding wheel. Housed within Vortic’s 43mm sandblasted stainless steel case and paired with a black cordovan strap, the Lancaster 135 combines mechanical craftsmanship, understated elegance, and nearly a century of American watchmaking history.
