Building Infrastructure for the Future of Vortic | Custer & Wolfe Episode 11

You know what they say: when it rains, it pours! We always like to stay busy here at Vortic, but somehow it seems like we planned for everything to happen in the same week. We’ve had a video crew in the building the past few days, recording all aspects of the process of making the military edition watches. You’d think we would be used to standing in front of cameras by now, but it’s still a challenge! We’ve also sat down and mapped out the next 18 months of releases for Vortic, and we are so excited. Buckle up, listeners, because we’re releasing something new every 3 months!
We’re going to be in NYC at Wind Up Watch Fair the weekend of October 21st. If you don’t know what the Wind Up Watch Fair is, it is now the largest watch trade show in the world, with around 60 micro brands like ours present. It’s free to the public, so if you’re in the New York City area, stop by and say hello! If you do, you’ll be in for a treat because that is the day we will announce and release the military edition watch, and it is truly an incredible piece of art. It’s been a hectic month for us here, but we’re so excited for you to follow our journey!

We’re Building a Watch Company with Custer + Wolfe and giving you an inside look into what it takes to manufacture and build mechanical watches in America. 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.

When planning in the Marine Corps we were always taught: Everyone falls in love with their plan but no plan ever survives contact. So ask yourself how can this plan go bad and then try to mitigate as much of the bad as you can.
