What makes the Chicago 456 unique:

Today, we’re happy to present this breathtaking and distinct watch initially created by the Elgin National Watch Company in 1925 — the Chicago 456. This piece sports a highly unique cream-colored dial with dark gray minute and hour hands, while the subdial features a darker tone resembling a mix of cream and bronze. The center of the dial features intricately expanding circles stacked on top of one another just before reaching the numerals. The numerals are highly stylized with a unique text-shadow, and the dial also has small circular minute indicators. We paired the uniquely-styled pocket watch with our one-of-a-kind, scratch-resistant Machined Titanium case and bronze-coated crown. Our watch’s clear display case presents the intricate inner workings of its 345-grade open-face movement. 17 ruby and sapphire jewels power this piece along with its gold-plated gears. Finally, we improved the original pocket watch’s unique color scheme by equipping it with our signature tobacco leather watch strap. The Elgin National Watch Company initially created this piece in Elgin, Illinois, in 1925 — the same year in which Amtrak opened the Chicago Union Station in the Near West Side. The station is an iconic structure and features Corinthian columns and Bedford limestone Beaux-Arts facades. Construction on the station initially began in 1913, but production temporarily stopped because of World War I. Construction started back up in 1919 after World War I concluded in 1918, and the architectural firm Graham, Anderson, Probst & White finally completed the station in 1925. Today, the station is one of the busiest rail terminals in the United States and has around 140,000 passengers on a standard weekday.
