The Vortic Process

The Vortic Process

Vortic Watch Company

At Vortic Watch Company, we get a lot of questions about our process and how long it takes us to convert an antique pocket watch into one of our custom wristwatches. The short answer is that each watch is truly unique and it's impossible to tell how long one will take. Fortunately, we've learned a lot in the past six years and can provide customers a realistic estimate on their watches. On top of that, we try our best to keep all of our customers informed and up to date as we work on their watches. 

Today we wanted to share our typical process so you could better understand exactly what we do when converting your pocket watches!
