00:00 A decade ago we asked what we thought was a simple question.
00:03 Can we build a watch in America?
00:05 We turned to Kickstarter and with your help, we did it.
00:08 Back then, no one was producing mechanical movements
00:11 at scale in the US.
00:13 So the only way to accomplish this
00:15 was to restore antique American pocket watch movements.
00:18 We spent the last 10 years building bespoke,
00:20 one of a kind watches,
00:21 and that's what the Vortec brand will continue to do.
00:24 They're amazing, but they're not for everyone.
00:26 So we're back on Kickstarter today with a new question.
00:29 Can we build a modern automatic watch in the United States
00:33 that'll last a lifetime, that starts at less than $1,000?
00:37 That's where you come in.
00:38 It's been almost 10 years since our first campaign,
00:40 but we're so excited to be back.
00:42 I'm Tyler.
00:43 And I'm RT.
00:44 We're the two kids who moved out west to Colorado
00:46 and started Vortec Watch Company.
00:48 You might know us as the guys
00:49 who convert antique American pocket watches
00:52 into one of a kind wristwatches.
00:54 But what we've really been doing
00:55 is creating a Colorado-based manufacturing company.
00:58 So many companies say, "Made in USA,"
01:01 "Swiss made," "Assembled in America."
01:03 To us, the label doesn't matter.
01:05 It's what you actually do.
01:07 That's why we're going to show you what we've built.
01:09 Welcome to our next adventure.
01:11 This is Colorado Watch Company,
01:13 8,500 square feet of wristwatch manufacturing
01:17 built right here in Fort Collins, Colorado.
01:19 Together with our partners, we're creating American jobs,
01:22 reshoring American manufacturing,
01:25 and helping to bridge the skilled trade gap.
01:27 We're proud of our team,
01:29 so proud of what they've accomplished,
01:30 and we're very excited to bring you a new product
01:33 that's been in development for years.
01:35 One word we believe is missing
01:37 from the modern definition of American-made is value.
01:40 When someone asks about your watch,
01:42 instead of saying, "Wait 'til you hear how much I spent,"
01:44 we want you to take it off and start a conversation.
01:47 Colorado Watch Company is not exclusive.
01:50 It's not hard to get.
01:51 And it's not for a select few.
01:53 Colorado Watch Company is for everyone.
01:55 How many times have you wanted to buy an American product,
01:58 but they're just not available?
01:59 We want you to be as proud of your watch as we are.
02:02 That's why we need you.
02:03 In order to make a high-quality product
02:05 and offer an excellent value, we need your support.
02:08 We live in a consumer-driven economy,
02:10 and you vote with your wallet.
02:12 We're building Colorado Watch Company
02:14 to make high-value products
02:15 and offer them to you for reasonable prices.
02:18 If you're tired of living in a throwaway society,
02:20 and you think watches should be made here, not there,
02:24 then back us on Kickstarter.
02:25 Scroll through our campaign, and if you like what you see,
02:27 pre-order our new FIELD or GCT watch today,
02:31 and tell your friends and family
02:32 about Colorado Watch Company.
