The Springfield 074
August 26, 2024 4:41 pmWe often like to describe the concept of Vortic watches as “a beautiful clash of old and new,” and The Springfield 074 truly represents that objective. We’ve found and restored a stunning 1920 Illinois Watch Company pocket watch and brought it into the 21st century as a wearable piece of history — with a little something special. Our watchmaker and resident Lume expert, Kent, has painstakingly adorned the numerals and hands with Super Luminova, a modern — and much safer — version of the luminous paint that originally adorned many of the pocket watches from the early 20th century.
