For some people, a watch is more than just a time-keeping tool, it is more of a portable accessory that shows identity. Although it is possible to understand the event through the mobile phone, for them, it is absolutely unsatisfactory to take the time out of the pocket while watching the conversation with others. This is why the function has been replaced by other more advanced equipment, but the watch has never been one of the reasons for leaving the market.
But when it comes to pocket watches, its fate is not so lucky compared to watches. With the development of the times, few people are willing to put their pocket watches into their pockets. In 2013, Vortic LLC launched a crowdfunding campaign to use 3D printing technology to give new life to American classic pocket watches from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. This is an intriguing project and uses the latest technology to retain the classics. model. The specific process is to apply the parts of the old-fashioned pocket watch that have been abandoned to the watch. Their fundraising target was $10,000, which was reached in just 12 hours, after the 30-day event ended, to raise $41,000. Obviously, there are many people who like handmade vintages.
The reason why 3D printing is chosen, founder Tyler Wolfe said: "3D printing enables us to quickly form small batches of products, so that each part can be customized, because we can make it for users at low cost in a timely and effective manner. Customized products.†Another founder, Custer, said: “'Made in the USA' is the next hot term and has huge market support. Our goal is to build a company with strong technology to make mechanical movements. Brought back to the United States."
Two years have passed, and according to 3D Tigers, this business has been made by them. Custer and Wolfe have sold 150 watches and are priced between $2,000 and $3,000. The shops they opened in Fort Collins, Colorado, also operated very well, and the American Artisan Series watches in the store have been out of stock. In addition, the pair is also planning to launch another crowdfunding this summer to produce a series of more modern products.
