Watch Description

The Boston 339 is the 339th one-of-a-kind piece in Vortic's "Boston" 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 339 Unique: If you look very closely at this extremely rare double sunk grand feu enamel dial you'll notice the Waltham brand right in the center. We think it may have just faded over time, but it is there! The 1907 Waltham Maximus movement inside this watch is also extremely rare and was their highest grade of 12size pocket watch. Featuring 23 jewels and a stunning engraving, this movement would have been extremely expensive 113 years ago. We put it all in our machined titanium case and used a Horween Oxblood strap to bring out the red from the 5 minute markers on the dial.

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.
