What makes the Boston 020 unique: Kintsugi is the Japanese art form of piecing together a broken object with gold lacquer, resulting in a piece that is often more beautiful than the original. That spirit of celebrating imperfections and appreciating the story of an object very much represents our mission at Vortic and is particularly illustrated by the pocket watch within the Boston 020. Originally produced in 1901 by the Waltham Watch Company, this 16-size pocket watch features a highly decorated white and robin's egg blue dial with delicate Roman Numerals, gold accents, and ornate Louis XIV hands. Further character has been added by the cracking and crazing of the Grand Feu enamel dial, hinting at the 123 years of history this piece has endured. With its elaborate engraving and rose-gold plated gears, the 23-jewel Maximus movement is just as impressive as the dial. We've played to the multi-toned metallic components of this piece by pairing it with our stainless steel case with a bronze coin-edged bezel and crown. A merlot leather strap lends an air of regalness to this stunning piece of history.
