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?
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!
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!

Due to your screw up re incorrect zip code, I have yet to receive product. I spoke to Thayne who told me UPS has the watch but no more information. I have never experienced such incompetence. However I'll bet my credit card was charged. Some consideration should be made in my favor for this inconvenience.
Such a great watch, and the experience of picking it up and unpacking the watch really add to the enjoyment. What a good group of guys!
Its amazing knowing you're wearing a piece of history. The quality is immediately recognized, truly makes a statement to anyone that sees it!
Absolutely stunning watch. I had researched online for months. After seeing the watches in person at the Fountain Hills festival I knew I had to have one. The Boston 472 was made in 1924, the year my grandfather was born in Boston so it was meant to be. The compliments have been pouring in, and I’m already eyeing my next timepiece from Vortic!
I purchased two of the Military 5th Editions. I gave one to my brother who is a US Navy veteran as an early Christmas present, and I kept one for myself. He loved the watch and was very moved by the history and provenance of the watch. He switched the watch strap to the military canvas strap. I kept the black strap with red stitching. I liked that this model had the seconds hand painted red as well as the detail tool work on the four corners of the watch. I really like that the watch is wound at the 12 o clock. The presentation was very cool as well.
Highly recommend to anyone that wants a unique piece of American history and a beautiful watch, representing American craftsmanship and ingenuity.
As soon as I saw the 2023 design, I knew that I needed take a shot at getting one. I set an alarm so I was ready to respond as soon as the email went out. I have worn it everyday since receiving the watch and it has worked like "clockwork". I multi-metal case and housing is very sharp. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Congrats to the Vortic team for their superior craftmenship and efforts around this watch.
What a pleasure. Must admit it was a rebound purchase when I failed to secure one of the Special Edition Military watches this year. That said it's a beautiful piece. A beautifully restored American antique pocket watch repackaged into a modern wrist watch. So much more meaningful that an expensive Swiss gadget.
I can’t say enough about the craftsmanship and overall aesthetics of the watch. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. It definitely is a conversation piece every time I wear it. The team at Vortic never ceases to amaze me. I hope to buy myself another one soon.
A beautiful piece of American history. And despite the fact that it is 100 years old, it still keeps excellent time. Over the first 10 days it lost no time compared to my phone. Fantastic craftsmanship from the vortic team, as well as the heritage movement, not to mention the lovely shell cordovan band.
I just found out about Vortic a couple months. I have a few watches in my collection, this is by far my favorite now. The history, the mechanical feel, hearing it tick… I love it!
Had the watch for a little under a month, so far so good. I wind it every morning and works like a charm. I love the look, feel and story behind it. It does have some pretty old intricate parts(original), so I think time will tell.
I am very happy because I own one of these living antiques, some of which have completed 100 years, as if you were putting history on your wrist.
Perfect,
I think watchs like this with painting are beter than the others
