Note: Made in Chicago. Gold not nickel. I do not know
about the interior workings .
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. However, the movement was not made in Chicago. It is possible your watch is a private label, manufactured by the Illinois Watch Company and marked with an independent name/location. Otherwise, you have conducted a lookup under the wrong manufacturer.
