The Springfield 329 is the 329th one-of-a-kind piece in Vortic's "Springfield " line of the American Artisan Series. This watch contains the original movement (timepiece), dial (face), and hands from a vintage (1880’s – 1950’s) pocket watch. The American Artisan Series is a line of fully American Made wristwatches powered by restored, U.S. made pocket watch movements.

What makes the Springfield 329 Unique: The patina on the dial of this watch would not be possible to replicate. The stories the dial can tell must be fascinating. The movement is marked "Stanley" and is estimated to be one of only 100 like it. It was named after famous Welsh-American Explorer Henry Morton Stanley who was knighted in 1899 after his explorations of central Africa. When he found David Livingstone during his travels, he famously said "Doctor Livingstone, I presume."
