The Legacy of Argent Doré: A History of Precision, Style and Innovation

The tradition of Argent Doré watches dates back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when Swiss and French watchmakers blended the elegance of gold with the affordability of silver. Meaning “gilded silver,” Argent Doré refers to sterling silver timepieces coated with a thin layer of gold, offering luxury without the full cost of solid gold. These watches became popular among European aristocrats and professionals for their refined aesthetics and durability.

With intricate engravings, enamel embellishments, and precise mechanical movements, Argent Doré watches were prized for their craftsmanship. As stainless steel and solid gold watches rose in popularity in the mid-20th century, production declined, but surviving pieces remain highly sought after. Their legacy endures as a symbol of precision and timeless elegance in horology.

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.

Doug Hammer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had several issues with my Bulova mechanical watch, including running too fast. They not only fixed it, but it is better than when I bought it new. Amazing! And the only place I recommend for service.

Kent Bolin ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Outstanding in every way. TT exceeded all of my expectations…and my old watch is working like new.

Nameless Ghoul ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I never believed in miracles until the day I got my watch back. I never thought I would see it working again, but they made it happen. I am extremely happy with the work they did, and I definitely appreciate all the research they did to make this small miracle happen.

Brian Rudnicki ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very satisfied with my experience.  My favorite watch is now back running and working perfectly.  I was a little leary as we are in GA and they are not but they were very timely and easy to communicate with so it all worked out great.

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.

The NIEL branding, often accompanied by regional engravings such as “Pickarx Grenoble,” suggests a connection to local watchmaking houses in France and Switzerland that catered to professionals and aristocrats seeking refined yet durable timepieces. Their intricate engravings, enamel work, and mechanical movements reflected the craftsmanship of the era, making them prized possessions that symbolized both status and reliability.
