A Priceless Gift From a Customer
Steve Brady, a retired U.S. Navy helicopter pilot, bought one of our Military Edition Special Edition watches this past November.
A Building Named After Us
We attended a grand opening and ribbon cutting on Friday - the R.T. Custer Vortic Service Center building is complete! It is now being outfitted with inventory, parts, and tools.
Watch of the Week from Deleware
The new service center at the Veterans Watchmaker Initiative that's named after us will celebrate the ribbon cutting, dedication, and grand opening!
The Victory Watch
To celebrate this victory one year later we've built a replica to R.T.'s personal Lancaster watch that we call the Victory Watch.
Happy Valentine's Day From Vortic Watch Company!
When we saw the dial of this watch, we just knew it was perfect for this special occasion. If you order it today, we'll make sure it ships and arrives by this weekend.
Testing Something New
We took our machined titanium case and spent some time getting a different finish that would provide a middle ground between our fresh bright titanium color and our dark black DLC. The result we call "gunmetal" and it's pretty cool.
When The Word 'Rare' Doesn't Cut It
This watch deserves its own post, and it got it. Check out the Rockford 036, this week's Watch of the Week!

How To Open A Pocket Watch
We get a lot of questions about how to open pocket watches so we thought we'd share a quick step-by-step guide. At Vortic Watch Company, one of the most common things we do is convert family heirlooms and other antique American pocket watches into custom wristwatches.
The first thing we need to know before converting a pocket watch is where it came from and what specs it has. The only way to do this is by looking at the actual mechanism hidden behind the back cover of most pocket watches.
