Convert Your Watch
Every watch we build at Vortic Watch Co. has an amazing story to tell. But that doesn't mean that the story can be yours first and foremost. We invite you to use your own pocket watch in an American Artisan Series or Railroad Edition case to add a new chapter to your watch's saga. Pocket watches were usually very important to the individuals who used them, and we believe the best way to honor those pieces is to make them functional again. Bring a piece of your history with you by converting your pocket watch into a speciality wristwatch today!
