- čas přidán 7. 06. 2024
- A lot can happen in a year, and 2022 was certainly no exception. From exciting new partnerships to expanding our manufacturing capabilities, we're proud of everything we accomplished at Vortic Watch Company. Here's a quick look back at some of the highlights of the past year.
In 2022, we created new jobs in the community, moved to downtown Fort Collins, and put up our sign - that may not sound impressive, but it's a huge deal because it is a huge sign.
It's been an incredible year, and we can't wait to see what the future holds for Vortic Watch Company. Thank you for your support, and we hope you stick around to see what we make in 2023.

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.

Congratulations on a great year! Looking forward to more.
Thank you! Hope yours is a good one, too!
I've noticed lot's of interesting dials from you guys lately. Are you mixing dials with different movements. For example if you find a neat Waltham dial and the movement is trashed do you use the dial on a different better Waltham movement?
We try our best to keep them paired together, but we also have a lot of dials and bare movements, too. We try our best to match a movement with a dial that comes from the same era or we can see paired together on something like the pocket watch database.
However, we also know that people would customize their watches quite heavily back in the day, using and reusing parts, so we're not too different than those that came before us!
When will the FTS Americhron watches be coming?
Still a work in progress. We have other projects in the pipeline that will come out first.
