What makes the Springfield 577 unique: We are thrilled to present to you this absolutely stunning timepiece originally manufactured by the Illinois Watch Company, our Springfield 577. The dial on this watch will grab your attention from across the room and bring you in for a closer examination. The dial has been carefully machined with these vertical lines all across it, which are highlighted beautifully through a domed sapphire crystal. These bold, dark numerals stand out nicely against and pair well with these blued steel open-kite hands. As we turn this watch over, we are met with more attractive nickel plating, to bring attention to these intricately designed build plates. Gold-plated gears peak through from beneath in this Federal grade watch, equipped with 17 screw-set jewels. Our merlot strap and nickel hardware round out the finer details and give a classic look and comfortable feel on the wrist. This watch is perfect for every occasion and is sure to turn some heads.
This watch was originally produced by the Illinois Watch Company in Springfield, Illinois in 1923. The signing of the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923 is an interesting historical event. The treaty was signed between the Allied Powers and the Republic of Turkey, and it officially ended World War I. It also marked the end of the Ottoman Empire, which had been a major player in the region for centuries. The treaty also established modern-day Turkey's borders, and it recognized the independence of the Republic of Turkey. The treaty also established the Turkish Republic's right to control its own foreign policy. The Treaty of Lausanne was a major event in the history of the region and it had lasting implications for the region today.
