New crowdfunding project on Kickstarter: 3D printed titanium watch

Founded two years ago by Vortic Watches, a startup from Fort Worth, Colorado, the company originally created a unique collection of refurbished antique pocket watches combined with modern 3D printed components and gained tremendous on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter. success. Today, Vortic is back again, with its newly developed 3D printed watch, the Journeyman series, which has launched crowdfunding on Kickstarter.

It is understood that Vortic has always been marked by high-quality American manufacturing, and its watch design style is easily reminiscent of the railway era in American history. The company's Journeyman line includes three models (manual, automatic and power storage), and this is the first time this young company has tried modern models.

It is reported that although the design of the Journeyman watch is inspired by the watches and mechanical institutions of the last century, it still gives a very modern feeling, which is not unrelated to the company's use of the latest technology - 3D printing. Vortic uses additive manufacturing technology for both prototypes and titanium case construction . Other components of the watch include a classic kiln-burning dial (reminiscent of the white panel of the railway-era timepiece), crystal panels and a fine leather strap.

In addition, Vortic watches are almost entirely made in the United States, such as the titanium casing is manufactured by New Jersey's 3D printing company Imperial Machine & Tool, while the dial, head and leather strap are made locally in Colorado. Crystal panels and belt buckles come from California and Detroit. Only the movements of the manual and automatic watches are produced in Switzerland. The power storage table is said to be the first watch made entirely in the United States since the 1960s, using the Caliber 1003 movement made by Losin Precision.

In addition, Vortic also provides customized services to customers. Through its online Watch Builder app, customers can customize their own watches by selecting options such as dial, hand, case size/surface, hardware style, strap color/material. In addition, with the convenient visualization capabilities of the app, customers will be able to see what their custom watch looks like when it's done.

In less than two days since its launch on July 20, 2016, Vortic has raised more than $64,000 on the Kickstarter platform, easily surpassing its $50,000 fundraising goal, if you are interested, manually The crowdfunding price is $795, the automatic model is $1,495, and the crowdfunding for power storage is $1,745, which is at least $200 cheaper than the market retail price.
