The Canton 002 (45mm)

My watch has exceeded any expectations I had developed from seeing them online. It is 1000 times better in person. Also the customer service has been fantastic! Such a unique watch- I love it!

As good as the photos are on the Vortic website, they don't do it justice. Vortic gave new life to a 95 year old pocket watch. Amazingly beautiful one-of-a-kind piece which will be enjoyed for many more years.

I bought my Lancaster 43 from RT at the District Time watch show. I had admired the watches on line but they are truly impressive in person. I rarely wear anything bigger than 40mm and was surprised how well with 43mm watch fit my narrow wrist. The watch is incredibly well made and very comfortable -- a real piece of American craftsmanship.

I first heard of Vortic in 2016. I followed them since then. I have a 1912 Illinois but it is a 16s so I had to wait until they were set up in there new place and of course Covid delayed everything. But this last January I was able to meet with RT and his team to get my pocket watch converted. My great grandfather gave this pocket watch to my grandfather for his 15th or 16th birthday.(my father was not sure). I just picked up and I cannot be happier. Most of my watches are 40s and I do have one 46. This wears as comfortable as any of my other watches. I was worried about the stem at three o’clock because it was a hunter case. It is not an issue. Everyone that asks to see my watch cannot believe how good looking and well done it is. I love being able to tell people o am wearing something that my great grandfather gave my grandfather. I get to wear a 112 year old piece of my family’s history.

I have wanted to own a Vortic since I first discovered the company right after they where founded. I read about them in one of my watch magazines and have followed the company ever since. In fact I purchased an early version of the " American Artisan" tee shirt. I had the pleasure of meeting R.T. Custer at the Atlanta Intersect watch show. He had the Boston 014 with him and I feel instantly in love with the watch. The level of skill and craftsmanship that is put into these pieces is incredible! When you pick one of these watches up and hold it in your hand, you immediately realize that you are holding a piece of history. My Boston 014 is 100 years old this year and I am thrilled to be it's current owner. I would bet that 100 years from now, one of my relatives will be holding this watch in their hand telling the story of how I acquired it in Atlanta, Georgia from a guy named R.T. Custer, the Founder of Vortic and The Colorado Watch Company. Thanks R.T., you made my dream of owning a Vortic watch come true! What are the rest of you waiting for?

Quality hat

Ever since I bought my watch I was waiting for them to restock the hats. That day finally came. Not only was I happy to get one because frankly they look cool, but I am more than happy to help promote the brand when wearing it. I am a huge fan of Vortic, what they do, and stand for. Buy a hat with confidence! If it can fit my tall egghead well, it can fit any head well!

Everything about this watch is excellent. Could not have a better experience.

I love my “new” Vortic watch. I also want to purchase a second leather strap, but cannot find them on the Vortic website. Please help me!

I have several vintages watches , including my grandfather's 1907 Elgin pocket watch. I have always loved looking at the amazing mechanisms inside and thought it was a shame to have them hidden away in the case . My new watch , the Springfield, Made by the Illinois watch company is a striking watch, made so much better by the display of its amazing mechanism. A great addition to my collection!

My favorite watch so far with most excellent customer service personally BY THE COMPANY FOUNDER helping me receive it before Christmas.
Could not possibly be more pleased with all 3 watches…so unique, historic and beautiful!!!!
Thank you Vortic!

The Military Edition - 2023 Special Edition

If you are like me, you see the Vortic watches and you get that goose bump sensation and your heart beats a bit faster and you wonder if they are really as wonderful and beautiful and eye-catching as they appear. They are, believe me. I now proudly own two Vortic watches and certainly plan to purchase more. These are all statement pieces of the highest quality. You will not be disappointed one bit.

This watch is beautiful in all black and the red stitching on the watch band really pops. It’s simply awesome. It brings the collection together really well. Te one draw back I have is that I wish they would’ve kept the Military Edition and year on the clasp like the two years prior. It was a nice additional custom touch that played in well with the watches story. These new clasps don’t go well with the uniqueness of the piece, they look very generic and non flattering with the rest of the watches combined make up.

I received immediate positive comments and intrigue the moment I started wearing the watch - from the material, history, look, size and of course where to get.

People were extremely impressed by the overall look as well as displaying the functions on the inner side.

For me, it represents a piece of history that I can wear and enjoy. Being a military veteran, it embraces much of the values that resonated during my career - if you are going to do something- do it right! This watch symbolizes this for me.

I will cherish this watch and wear with pride!
