Watch Description

The Boston 152 is the 152nd one-of-a-kind piece in Vortic's "Boston 152" line of the American Artisan Series. This watch contains the original movement (timepiece), dial (face), and hands from a vintage (1880’s – 1950’s) pocket watch. The American Artisan Series is a line of fully American Made wristwatches powered by restored, U.S. made pocket watch movements.

What makes the Boston 152 Unique: The Boston 152 is great example of an every day wear watch from Vortic. The dial is clearly from an antique pocket watch, and has all the classic features you'd want. Someone will definitely ask you, "is that a pocket watch?" when you wear this. The movement was originally manufactured in the year 1900, which, fun fact, was the year New York City broke ground on the first major subway line from Manhatten to Brooklyn. You could ride for 5 cents back then! We went with the standard black strap and 3Dprinted titanium blackened case to really let the white dial be the star.

Movement Manufacturer Information

The movement inside of this watch was made by Waltham Watch Company. We call this model "The Boston" because of the company's proximity to the city.

Also known as American Watch Company and American Waltham Watch Company, Waltham was one of the leaders in attempting an entirely new concept, machines making machines. Prior to this, a watchmaker would hand-make each part of a movement one-at-a-time. Operating from 1851-1957, Waltham called its product the "Scientific Watch." Waltham's innovative, precise machining techniques made parts interchangeable, and their early version of the assembly line made high-quality watches efficient to produce. Legend has it that Henry Ford drew inspiration for his assembly line production from a visit to Waltham's factory. Located on the bank of the Charles River in "Watch City" (Waltham), Massachusetts, the factory has since been converted to apartment lofts.
