What makes the Springfield 475 unique: Today, we are proud to introduce this spectacular piece from the Illinois Watch Company — the Springfield 475. Originally manufactured in 1921 by the Illinois Watch Company, the Springfield 475 features an amber watch face design, bold-type numbers, and a clear display case that reveals the intricate stainless steel gears with brass and gold-plated details. When we look at the back, we can see luminous streaks of gold coursing through the bridge plate. Our Bronzed Titanium case complements the amber dial wonderfully while preserving the history of this exquisite piece with its incredibly durable and scratch-resistant coating. Powered by 17 jewels, this 405-grade timepiece is a true marvel. Lastly, our Cordovan Black leather strap connects the whole piece by accentuating the blued-steel hands magnificently. This watch was originally produced in Springfield, Illinois, in 1921 — the same year that the DeYoung Museum in Golden Gate Park reopened. Originally opened in 1895, the Great Earthquake of 1906 caused significant damage to the building, forcing closure for repairs. From 1921 onwards, the DeYoung Museum weathered one more earthquake, was forced to close and came back with the help of a successful multimillion-dollar fundraising campaign.
