The true inspiration behind Vortic's American Artisan Series is the simple idea that we had it right the first time. Before the United States got away from watchmaking in the mid 1900's, we produced millions of beautiful, high quality pocket watches that became more than just a way to tell time. The domestically made pocket watches became heirlooms that were passed down through generations, signifying the deep roots of quality manufacturing in America that, while covered with dirt, still exist today.
