Vintage watches hold a deep significance for many people, blending nostalgia, history, and individuality. They often serve as family heirlooms, evoking memories and personal connections to the past, while also representing pivotal moments in history or culture, such as iconic models worn during significant events. Their timeless craftsmanship and unique patina tell stories of an era when artistry and durability were paramount, offering a contrast to modern, mass-produced designs. Ultimately, a vintage watch is more than a tool; it’s a tangible piece of history, a reflection of personal style, and a connection to a simpler, more enduring time.

The Legacy of Timepieces: A History of Precision, Style and Innovation
Timepieces began with ancient methods like sundials, water clocks, and hourglasses used to track time as early as 1500 BCE, evolving into mechanical clocks in the 14th century, which were driven by gears and weights for public and religious use. The invention of the mainspring in the 15th century enabled portable clocks and later pocket watches, which became widespread during the Industrial Revolution due to mass production.
Wristwatches emerged in the early 20th century, gaining popularity during World War I for their practicality, and innovations like quartz movements in the 1960s and digital displays in the 1970s further revolutionized timekeeping. Today, timepieces range from traditional mechanical watches to modern, blending centuries of craftsmanship with modern technology to reflect humanity’s enduring need to measure time.

Heartfelt Testimonials on Watch Repair
Jane Murray ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I found Times Ticking on the internet. The last time I had a watch repaired locally it cost more than the watch did new. I got it back just like new 2 weeks later and 2,000 miles away. HIGHLY recommended. Times Ticking was prompt, inexpensive, and even phoned when they got my watch and told me in advance what it would cost to repair.
Keith Kerney ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Their service was grade A!!! They're quick and professional; they always kept me updated with status of my watches. Their work is flawless which they stand behind, to me most importantly. They speak to you as if you're an old friend asking for help; in which they're always happy to do. Times Ticking; a place where you can ask an old friend for help.
Matthew Emory ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I cannot speak to the local facilities or sales staff. I am an internet customer who took a chance and sent my prized Accutron watch across the country to folks I do not know and have never met. This was a big decision which took several weeks to discern. I am thrilled with my decision and am planning to send my Dad’s watch in for repair. The difference? This time there is no hesitation whatsoever.
Ellen Hymes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I was thrilled that they were able to repair and clean up a watch that I had inherited from my mother. It looks great and works great. The service was fast. The person who called me about the watch was very friendly and seemed grateful for my business. I would highly recommend them to anyone and will use them again if the need arises. So refreshing to receive such good customer service these days!
Peter K ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I highly recommend Times Ticking for watch repair. Jesse & crew know their stuff and even take the time to talk with you. They communicate very friendly/professionally and most of all the prices are more than fair for such craftsmen skills! My opinion: They are like the American Restoration of watches.

Expert Care for Every Watch Style & Collection
The automatic watch stemmed from the desire to eliminate the need for manual winding in mechanical watches, providing a more convenient and user-friendly experience. Early designs, dating back to the late 18th century, were driven by the idea of using the natural motion of the wearer to power the mainspring. This concept gained momentum in the 1920s and 1930s with advancements in rotor mechanisms that harness wrist movement to wind the watch. The automatic watch was inspired by a blend of practicality and innovation, aiming to enhance the functionality of traditional timepieces while preserving their elegance and craftsmanship.
We know that your automatic watch is important to you and understand that the sentimental value more often than not outweighs the monetary value. Our expert watchmakers strive to make sure your watch can be worn for many years to come.
The electric watch came from the desire to improve the accuracy and convenience of traditional mechanical watches by incorporating electrical energy. Introduced in the mid-20th century, electric watches sought to eliminate the reliance on manual winding or automatic mechanisms by using a small battery to drive the timekeeping movement. This innovation was influenced by advancements in electrical engineering and the quest for precision, as well as the growing consumer demand for modern, low-maintenance timepieces. The electric watch bridged the gap between mechanical and quartz technology, symbolizing a pivotal moment in the evolution of horology.

The mechanical watch arose from the desire to make timekeeping portable and precise, building upon the large, stationary clock mechanisms of the medieval period. The invention of the mainspring in the 15th century allowed for the creation of compact, spring-powered devices, enabling the development of wearable and handheld watches. Inspired by the increasing importance of personal timekeeping for trade, navigation, and daily life, mechanical watches were designed to offer independence from external power sources like sunlight or water. Their intricate craftsmanship and self-contained precision represented a leap forward in engineering and a testament to the growing demand for reliability and sophistication in timekeeping.

The pocket watch stemmed from the desire to create portable timekeeping devices that could be conveniently carried, a significant evolution from the large, stationary clocks of the 15th century. As personal timekeeping became increasingly important for merchants, navigators, and the wealthy, the invention of the mainspring allowed for compact designs, enabling the development of portable watches. Initially considered a luxury item, the pocket watch’s design was influenced by practicality and fashion, with cases and chains crafted to protect the mechanism while complementing the wearer’s attire. This innovation marked the beginning of individualized timekeeping, symbolizing both technological progress and personal sophistication.

The quartz watch came from the pursuit of unparalleled accuracy and reliability in timekeeping by leveraging advancements in electronics. Quartz technology, developed in the mid-20th century, was inspired by the discovery that quartz crystals vibrate at a consistent frequency when subjected to an electrical current. Scientists and watchmakers recognized this property as an ideal basis for regulating time, leading to the creation of a battery-powered movement that was far more precise and low-maintenance than mechanical alternatives. The quartz watch revolutionized horology by making accurate, affordable, and mass-producible timepieces accessible to a global audience, reshaping the industry.

The solar watch came from the desire to create a self-sustaining, eco-friendly timepiece that eliminated the need for regular battery changes. Building on advancements in solar technology during the mid-20th century, watchmakers sought to harness sunlight and artificial light as a renewable energy source to power watches. This innovation was driven by growing environmental awareness and the need for convenience, particularly in remote or demanding conditions where replacing batteries was impractical. Solar watches symbolize the fusion of technology and sustainability, offering a reliable and forward-thinking solution for modern timekeeping.
