The Boston 339 is the 339th one-of-a-kind piece in Vortic's "Boston" line of the American Artisan Series. This watch contains the original movement (timepiece), dial (face), and hands from a vintage (1880’s – 1950’s) pocket watch. The American Artisan Series is a line of fully American Made wristwatches powered by restored, U.S. made pocket watch movements.
What makes the Boston 339 Unique: If you look very closely at this extremely rare double sunk grand feu enamel dial you'll notice the Waltham brand right in the center. We think it may have just faded over time, but it is there! The 1907 Waltham Maximus movement inside this watch is also extremely rare and was their highest grade of 12size pocket watch. Featuring 23 jewels and a stunning engraving, this movement would have been extremely expensive 113 years ago. We put it all in our machined titanium case and used a Horween Oxblood strap to bring out the red from the 5 minute markers on the dial.
