Loving my Journeyman love the crisp white dial and how thin it is. It is like my Lancaster went on a diet wicked cool. Cheers Willie
The watch is gorgeous. All the details are perfectly crafted. So happy with it.
Sorry guys - I was about to gift the watch for a PhD graduation happening tomorrow. I opened the box to wind the watch to get it ready for tomorrow - shocked but unfortunately the minutes hand has fallen off.
Please let me know what I should do next. Of course I am disappointed. Although the watch looks beautiful.

I’ve been stalking the military edition since they first came out … and finally set the alarm clock to be online at time of release to snag one … lucky number 7 it was - and vortic went even further and meticulously added lum to the numbers and hands per my secondary custom request. Once in hand - or “on wrist” - let’s just say WOW … very impressed and am extremely happy. This will be a legacy piece that puts those mass produced luxury brands to shame when I pass it on to future generations in my family.
I've been following Vortic for several years and recently purchased The Springfield 164. It is a fabulous time piece - beautiful workmanship highlighting the patina and original craftsmanship of the movement.
Every person who has seen it commented on it and wanted to know more about Vortic!
As a long time vintage pocket watch collector/daily user, I'm absolutely stoked to be able to wear my stunning Springfield 480 on my wrist. Thank you Vortic for keeping these timeless pieces running and helping to preserve American history. I look forward to my next purchase.
I purchased the Lancaster 123 from RT himself at the Intersection Watch show in NYC. It’s immediately become one of my favorite watches. It’s completely unique and oozes history and master craftsmanship. The most pleasant surprise is that, despite the size of the case it is remarkably wearable. While I sometimes have trouble working with my watch on my wrist I had no problem keeping this piece on the entire workday, during which I spend much of the day typing. It’s also a fantastic conversation piece. I’m very proud to add it to my collection and promote it.
I got this timepiece as Birthday gift and I gotta say Vortic Watch Company is like no other, I call it a work of Art, vintage Americana history. Wow!! I would take it over a Rolex any day. A very rare watch that will continue to stay in our generations just like it has for over a 100 years!
I love my Boston 055, I’ve been collecting watches for the past 6 years… all ranges; but this one is awesome, I love the idea of having a 100+ year old piece of History on my wrist. The Horology is the coolest!
Wearing this watch is like nothing else in my pretty substantial collection (over 50 luxury watches.) This watch is in a class of its own. Wearing this is a throwback to a time when America built things and built them well. Went on to win the War and plant its flag as great. Its size is large; but it wears so well. Comfortable and iconic. The amount of detail in the watch is incredible. I sometimes take it off to look at the beautiful gears and polished steel. I have wanted one since the first iteration 7 years ago. I do not regret making this purchase and if you have a chance to own one (or really be the custodian until the next owner) take the plunge. It’s a statement watch, and a statement that we should all feel proud to wear! God Bless the USA! Make America Great Again!
I love the watch! It is a super cool piece of history that I get to where everyday. It comes with two bands which is cool. The only thing I worry about is that I will wear it to much and then need to replace a very unique watch band. I just love this thing!
My new favorite t-shirt! Great logo on a super comfortable shirt that provides an excellent fit!
This watch is a great way to enjoy a historic piece of American history. The craftsmanship is excellent, and I’m very happy to own this special time piece.
This Lancaster is my third pocket watch conversion from Vortic.
I’m probably officially labeled a serial buyer by now. And that’s okay!
I remember reading somewhere that, “It’s not hoarding, if it’s good
stuff”. And I have taken that to heart.
But the reason I keep coming back is because I find real quality, beauty,
and a ‘one of a kind’ watch. And the truth is, this will not be the last one!
I would urge any watch lover to give this one a try.
In Gratitude,

The attention to detail was perfect. Gorgeous watch given a new life in a vortic case. Unique, gorgeous, and interesting story…I couldn’t be happier.
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.
