What makes the Chicago 467 unique: Today, we’re happy to present this sophisticated piece originally manufactured by the Elgin National Watch Company in 1926 — the Chicago 467. The watch features a gorgeous dial with a light-gray background and thin, stylish numerals. The piece boasts an intricate and luxurious gold-colored center design that shines attractively against the simple background, and the subdial also features a matching golden hue. We encased the pocket watch within our Machined Titanium case, and we equipped it with a gold-plated crown that complements the dial’s center design. Our open-back case reveals a 345-grade open-face movement with breathtaking golden-plated gears. The watch’s back also features a Breguet hairspring, Moseley regulator, and 17 stunning ruby and sapphire jewels atop its ¾ plate. Finally, we topped off the piece with our comfortable, artisan-designed Olive leather watch strap along with a nickel-plated buckle. The Elgin National Watch Company initially manufactured the pocket watch in Elgin, Illinois, in 1926 — the same year that General Motors released the first Pontiac vehicle, the Pontiac Series 6-27. GM originally intended the Pontiac to be the junior version of the Oakland Six, produced by the Oakland Motor Car Company. The Oakland Motor Car Company was founded in 1907 in Pontiac, Michigan, and it became a GM division in 1909. Although GM intended Pontiac to be a cheaper alternative to Oakland vehicles, the car was far more popular. In 1931, GM closed the Oakland Motor Car Company division and began focusing on the Pontiac brand.
