What to know about Vortic Watch Company

Every watch is a salvaged original

Vortic rebuilds antique American pocket watch movements, dials and hands into wristwatches, so no two pieces are identical and stock is genuinely finite.

Few hundred pieces a year

Cases are machined and 3D-printed by hand in Fort Collins, Colorado, with annual output in the low hundreds across the American Artisan Series and daily one-off drops.

Price reflects rarity, not Swiss pedigree

Watches run roughly $2,500-$10,000; the company also beat a Swatch Group trademark suit from Hamilton in 2020, upheld on appeal in 2021.
