The Vortic Watch Company is a luxury wrist watch engineering and manufacturing company based in Fort Collins, Colorado.
Their inspiration lies in reviving classic watchmaking techniques and traditions.
The company's first product, the “American Artisan Series,” celebrates the rich history of horological manufacturing in the United States by restoring vintage, American-made pocket watch movements, and building them into one-of-a-kind wristwatches.
Waltham, Massachusetts, also known as “Watch City,” is the original home of one of the great American watch companies, the Waltham Watch Company.
On Friday Jul 22, 2016 Vortic Watch Company will be inducted into The Charles River Museum of Industry and Innovation for the preservation of historical Waltham movements.
