I simply love this watch. It’s so well converted and preserved. I love history and now I get to wear a piece of it on my wrist. Vortic keep doing what you do it’s fantastic.
Great unique watch! It wells very well on the wrist, surprisingly at 45mm. Only suggestion would be what extra watch band I buy for this. Buy one, great company!!
This piece of American history has not left my wrist since I got it. I love the deco numbers and textured dial. It’s amazing to think this was someone’s watch 100 years ago.
I love the idea of giving these watches new life and the execution of that idea is very well done!! I love my new watch!! It looks and feels so good!! Thanks also for the home delivery since I live in Fort Collins.

This watch is amazing! I've been wanting to make this purchase for some time now, and I'm happy I did. It's a beautiful watch with an outstanding history. I really enjoy the art deco numerals, the look, the feel. I was worried about the size, but it fits nicely on my wrist. Vortic Watch Company is such a cool company with a great team and I'm happy to support them!
I just purchased my ninth Vortic watch and it may be my favorite yet. The scroll work on the bezel really enhances the look of this 105 year-old beauty! I've had it just a week or so and have worn it half the time. Your craftsmanship and customer service are second to none. I'll keep looking for new ones!
This is my second purchase—and I’m hoping to catch the Military Special Edition in November. These watches are really just beautiful and you can tell that great care went into the restoration process. The result is a truly unique time piece that I’ll treasure forever. I particularly wanted a Waltham to pair with my Railroad pocket watch from a distant relative who worked on the trains up in the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee—probably all through the Smoky Mountains.
I recently got The Chicago 091, and it quickly became my favorite watch. The design is timeless, the details are stunning, and it still runs beautifully after almost a century. Wearing it feels like carrying a piece of history every day.
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.
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. 😎
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.
One of the best watches I have ever bought. Its an exceptional and one of a kind watch. Also great customer service
Love the beautiful, delicate hands, the coin edga case, the clean face, and the striped bridge plates.
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.
I love the coin edge, the beautiful hands, the clean face, and the beautiful striping on the bridge plates. Been wanting one of you watches for a long time now and could not be happier with this one. My dearest friend Kim thinks it is so lovely and will surely be wearing it some day. I could not be happie. Yhank you so much.
Best wishes to RT for a quick recovery!!!
amazing watch and quality, highly recommend these one-of-a-kind watches. Now I want another one
Thanks so much, Andrea! We're here when you're ready!
Great Watch , Very nice Band , and perfect color Scheme
Thanks so much for sharing, Anthony! We appreciate your support.
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 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!
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!!
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.
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.
