The Springfield 547 (47mm)

Nice color (dark gray) and nice fit.

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.

Arrived on time and very well constructed and easy to use.

It’s a very gorgeous T-shirt. The color/lettering/style suit the message of the shirt. Love it.

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

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.

Great products and great shipment

Nice print on them. Also own one of their fine watches. A great place to purchase a true American watch.

I bought it expecting not to get to wear it till next winter but here I am wearing it in KC in march in the cold and snow. It is awesome it’s keeping this auld bald head warm. Cheers Willie

Have had tons of comments on the craftsmanship. It’s been “ticking” without skipping a beat…. And very accurate time!

I’m proud to be representing a great American company

Being from the state I was intrigued by the Indiana 011 and after receiving it I can say it is certainly excellent. I don’t have large wrists and was worried it might look too big but it actually fits and looks great. Will definitely buy again!

The kit came quickly and was a perfect fit for my watch!. I loved the free sticker swag

My first Vortic was so good, I bought another one! These watches get more attention than my very expensive watches. And because of the history, the story behind them, they are fun and interesting to talk about! Keep great time too!!

As a goldsmith and mechanical engineer with immense pride in my nation, I so appreciate unique items coupled with American ingenuity and craftsmanship. These watches are American heritage wrapped in modern materials and style. What is not to love! Thank you, Vortic!
