Custer and business partner Tyler Wolfe in 2013, Vortic Watch Company is dedicated to the highest level of craftsmanship in their work upcycling old American-made pocket watches. By creating the miniscule parts that convert the pocket watch into a wrist watch at their location in Downtown Fort Collins, Vortic Watch Company is creating 100% American-made watches. While their passion is evident through interviews and photos, the best way to learn about what Vortic is doing is to do a free, in-person tour at their headquarters. These tours are offered Monday-Thursday and are a great way to learn more about the watch-making industry and what it takes to make an American-made product. They also recently expanded their offerings by creating a new sub-brand, Colorado Watch Company, a smaller, modern watch with an American-assembled automatic movement.
