The Springfield 158 (45mm)
Michael Bernardo
Such a great idea

I love my Springfield 158. Such a great idea to bring these pocket watches back to life and give them wrist time for all to see. Much better than leaving it in a drawer or box hidden from view. The quality of the case and strap are very good. One of my new favorites of the collection. No one else I had one. I love the conversations that get started when wearing this piece.

3.25B Seconds And Still Ticking

I thoroughly enjoy the 1922 Illinois pocket watch that you guys transformed into a very cool looking wrist watch. Three and a quarter billion seconds since it was originally manufactured and it’s still accurate to within 1-2 minutes per week! I can only hope that I’ll be that spry in 35 more years. 😎

The NATO Conversion
Walter Maessen
Absolutely stellar experience

So—I’ve been following this company for a while. Can’t remember exactly when it started, but definitely connected around the Jack Ryan GCT watch timeframe. I didn’t have a lot of extra cash on hand, but admired their work from afar.
Fast forward to the email about R.T.’s stroke—and I have to step up to the plate. I start looking at what’s on hand…and another email comes out with a special release coming up. I’m intrigued. I’d already watched a few videos on the Military Edition and learned about a railroad pocket watch that I have from a distant relative. The NATO Conversion is a really rare piece and I decided to jump at the chance. I logged in as soon as the first available piece popped up and I paused for just a few seconds of hesitation. But—I’m committed to it and pull the trigger.
I couldn’t possibly be happier. I was in contact with Andy both before and multiple times afterwards. Great team and they really take the time to communicate with you. They put in the extra effort and I definitely appreciated the personal touch each time. The workmanship of this piece is truly stunning.

It’s an exceptional time piece

One of the best watches I have ever bought. Its an exceptional and one of a kind watch. Also great customer service

1907 Elgin

I saw these watches being worn on Jack Ryan TV series and had to look into it as I loved the look of the watches. I was pleasantly surprised by what I found on the Vortic website that these watches are repurposed old pocket watches. I found one in my price range and it was a Father's Day gift from my wife and daughters. I love the watch, looks great, keeps time and I get asked about it all the time. I highly recommend Vortic and thier watches. Great customer service, sent me a tool so I could change out the strap free of charge. I'm looking forward to hopefully getting one of the military editions in the future.

What an Amazing Piece of History

Great Watch , Very nice Band , and perfect color Scheme

Thanks so much for sharing, Anthony! We appreciate your support.

Impressive!

The photos of this watch look great but, in person, this piece is much more impressive. I’m extremely pleased with the this watch. Well done Vortic! 5 stars only because they would not let me give 6!

The Chicago 094 (45mm)
David Prengaman

The most beautiful watch in my collection. It’s hard to believe that I’m wearing a vintage pocket watch that’s 108 years old. Love it!

Elgin Elegance

I’d been looking for a really dressy watch and this one is perfect. I already own a number of Vortic watches but this is the one I can wear with a tux! Perfect!!

When wearing this watch I feel like a million bucks

I had been watching Vortic and its watch choices for many years and only recently finally found exactly what I had been looking for. My new watch rests on my wrist so comfortably and the styling is irreplaceable. The bronze case as it patinas will further make the watch unique to me. I have absolutely no regrets purchasing my own personal piece of horological history.

Great Timepiece

I loved the concept as soon as I read about it and the purchase and delivery lived up to my expectations. It wears much more easily than I thought it might, the 12’ crown works well for a larger wrist watch. The execution of the conversion from pocket to wrist is flawless, couldn't ask for more. One of the favorites in my collection.

Classy T

Nice color (dark gray) and nice fit.

SO Comfortable

The Military Edition has the same case and lugs as the other conversion watches. The Military Edition is spectacular and easy to read with the black dial and white numerals. This is my first Vortic watch and I was intrigued by the history of this watch for personal reasons. What I was totally unprepared for was how comfortable it is to wear. Yes the face is big. But I have very small wrists and this watch upon one wearing will be in heavy rotation for its comfort. Astonishing how Vortic can make a pocket watch so unbelievably comfortable on the wrist. Great job guys! Like the other 50+% of Vortic owners I will likely get another.

The only thing is that I would not use USPS to ship. In my area they are not reliable.

The Rockford 006 bronze case

I became aware of the Vortic watch company while listening to a watch podcast a few weeks ago. I currently live in Colorado but my hometown where I was born and raised is Rockford, Illinois, the home of the Rockford pocket watch company. I called RT and spoke with him about his manufacturing process and how they convert these old pocket watches. I also told him about my back story of being from Rockford Illinois. He was able to find me a Rockford watch, which became the 006 in a bronze case. I’ve now spent a week with it on the wrist. First, I was hesitant on the case thickness as well as the case size at 45mm. I usually wear 42mm watch sizes, so this wasn’t a stretch. Putting it on the wrist, I was surprised how comfortable it was. It wears smaller than 45mm and has a nice lug angle to accommodate it’s size. I’ve come to really like the crown at the 12 oclock position as I’m left handed (wearing my watch on the right wrist) so it doesn’t get in the way. Secondly, it’s easy to wind on the wrist if you forget before putting it on at the beginning of the day. Being this is not an automatic movement, you must wind every day. As far as accuracy, I set it a week ago and so far it’s still keeping accurate time against my iphone. Are these expensive, well yes, but if you look at the craftmanship of the orginal movement, the case design and custom leather strap, the open case back and beautiful dial patina, this watch far surpasses any other in quality in the $4000 price point. I usually daily a Tudor or Omega but this watch is so much more interesting, it’s now my go to. My current problem at the moment is looking at their website every day to see if I may want to add another Vortic to my collection.
