How To Try On a Vortic Watch In Person | Building a Watch Company

Whether you have just discovered Vortic or you’ve been following us since the beginning, you may be wondering how you can make sure the watch you want will look good on your wrist. As a business without any true retail availability or physical presence outside of our facility in beautiful Fort Collins, Colorado, we get asked one question a lot: how can I try on one of these watches and make sure it fits me?
We totally understand; Vortic watches are a little bigger and more unique than a common watch, so it makes sense you would want the one you purchase to fit like a glove. Our answer to that is to come to see us at one of the many trade shows, open-air markets, or art shows we frequently appear at! We attended the Wind Up Watch Fair in New York City, which is the biggest independent watch trade show in the country. Check us out at one of the upcoming shows and see these beautiful watches for yourself!

We’re Building a Watch Company with Custer + Wolfe and giving you an inside look into what it takes to manufacture in America and build mechanical watches. We want to bring you along on all the successes, failures, innovations, and inventions that go into American manufacturing and watchmaking. Follow along as we restore vintage pocket watch movements and give them new life with Vortic Watch Co., and as we build a brand new watch company from scratch, focused on making high-quality American-machined watches.
Thanks so much for watching, and be sure to subscribe to our channel so you don’t miss out on any exciting updates! You can also stay in the loop & get exclusive access by signing up for our weekly newsletter at www.vorticwatches.com.

This company is awesome. I had my great grandfathers pocket watch converted a couple of years ago. My dad said he never saw his grandfather’s watch work. I’m going to give it to my grand boy. I have another pocket watch I am going to send it when I have extra money to pass down to my second grand boy. Awesome company and the watches are the best. I love wearing my great grandfather’s watch. A lot of amazing history. Keep up the great work.
