Vortic Watches
A quality wristwatch is a beautiful thing. And, let’s be honest, it’s something that folks have moved away from due to the proliferation of phones and associated electronic gadgets.
Vortic Watches is the opposite of that, and something we are pretty excited about.
Vortic Watch Company is a small batch, custom, watch manufacturing and vintage restoration company located in Northern Colorado. Our mission is to “preserve and enhance the legacy of manufacturing excellence in America.”
Vortic Watches creates American Made wristwatches that are powered by antique, American Made pocket watch movements. That’s pretty slick!
Combining the old with the new to create something unique and beautiful.
Their American Artisan Series is described as:
The American Artisan Series is the only truly American made watch built today. Each of these one-of-a-kind timepieces is fabricated using antique, U.S. made pocket watch mechanisms and a wide array of custom options.
Not only are they American Made, they are beautiful pieces that will look amazing on your wrist.
Vortic Watches also offers the Military Edition which is incredibly cool.
Made from salvaged antique American pocket watches which were originally manufactured for the United States Army Air Corps and built into custom wristwatches called the Military Edition here at Vortic Watch Co.
You really can’t get much more American than that!
Keep in mind, some of these watches will be hard to come by as the production is limited.
However, you can see what they have in stock if you are looking to make a purchase now.
Not only do we love what they do, but we love how they do it. Making something old new again. What we might like even more, is the fact that Vortic Watches has a true David and Goliath story.
