Vortic Details Restoration Process and Annual Military Edition Watches
Vortic Watch Company highlights its specialized process of salvaging and restoring antique American pocket watches to create unique wristwatches. The American Artisan Series features original movements, dials, and hands that are approximately 100 years old, housed in modern metal cases with exhibition case backs. The brand produces only a few hundred pieces annually, completing at least one wristwatch every day to preserve American horological history.
The company offers three primary ways to acquire a timepiece, including direct purchases from their store, a conversion service for family heirlooms, and special limited releases. A notable annual tradition is the Military Edition, released every Veteran’s Day, which features master navigator’s watches used in B-Bombers during World War II. Co-founder R.T. Custer also teased an upcoming new project and encouraged followers to view their "Custer & Wolfe" YouTube channel for behind-the-scenes content.
