The Boston 390 is the 390th 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 390 Unique: We are so excited to release another Gunmetal Titanium case for today’s Watch of the Day. We received a lot of great feedback about this finish on our machined Titanium cases and can’t wait to continue to produce more of these. This movement was manufactured in Waltham, Massachusetts in 1928 and the patina on the dial truly shows the age of this watch. Some wear and tear on the minute track of the dial gives this watch incredible character that we really wanted to showcase in this fantastic edition of our Boston line of watches. The 17 screw-set jewels and intricately designed build plate accompanied by gold gears make for a wonderfully unique movement. We tied in the Blue Steel full moon hands with this dark navy strap and topped it off with a nickel crown. In nearby Boston at the same time that this watch was being manufactured, the Boston Garden was completed and opened in November. The Garden hosted boxing matches, hockey games for the Boston Bruins, as well as NBA games for the Celtics. The Garden remained open until September of 1995 when it was demolished and eventually rebuilt. This watch has also been rebuilt and given new life to live on for at least the next hundred years.
