The Legacy of Cornell: A History of Precision, Style and Innovation

The Cornell Watch Company, founded in 1870 in Chicago, Illinois, was an ambitious but short-lived American watch manufacturer. It was established by Paul Cornell, a prominent real estate developer, with the aim of producing affordable, high-quality pocket watches to compete with major players like Waltham and Elgin. Cornell’s watches featured key-wind and stem-wind movements and were known for their practical designs aimed at the middle-class market. However, financial difficulties and operational challenges plagued the company, leading to its closure in 1876.

Despite its brief existence, the Cornell Watch Company contributed to the rich history of American watchmaking and remains a point of interest for collectors of antique timepieces.

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.

Expert Care for Every Watch Style & Collection

The inspiration for the Cornell Key-Wind Pocket Watch was rooted in the desire to create affordable and reliable timepieces for the growing middle class during the post-Civil War era. Paul Cornell, the company’s founder, sought to compete with established American watchmakers like Waltham and Elgin by producing practical yet well-crafted watches. The key-wind mechanism, a standard technology at the time, allowed for straightforward operation while keeping production costs manageable. Cornell aimed to make quality timekeeping accessible to a broader audience, reflecting the industrial advancements and increasing demand for portable, accurate watches in the late 19th century.

We know that your Cornell 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 Cornell Mechanical Watch was to provide a dependable, affordable timepiece that catered to the growing needs of the American middle class during the late 19th century. Paul Cornell sought to compete with established watchmakers by producing mechanical watches that balanced quality craftsmanship with practical design. Mechanical watches, powered by intricate spring-driven movements, were the standard of the time and reflected the era’s advancements in precision engineering. Cornell aimed to create a watch that was not only functional but also durable, aligning with the increasing reliance on accurate timekeeping for daily activities, commerce, and transportation.

The Cornell Pocket Watch stemmed from Paul Cornell’s vision to provide affordable and reliable timepieces for the rapidly expanding middle class in post-Civil War America. At a time when railroads, commerce, and daily life increasingly relied on accurate timekeeping, Cornell sought to compete with established watchmakers like Waltham and Elgin by offering practical, high-quality pocket watches at accessible prices. His aim was to bridge the gap between craftsmanship and affordability, reflecting the era’s spirit of industrial innovation and growing demand for precision in everyday life.

The Cornell Railroad Pocket Watch was driven by the critical need for precision and reliability in timekeeping during the rapid expansion of the American railroad system in the late 19th century. Accurate watches were essential for ensuring train schedules and preventing collisions, making high-quality timepieces a necessity for railroad workers. Paul Cornell aimed to create a pocket watch that met the rigorous standards of railroad operations while remaining affordable for the average worker. By focusing on durability, accuracy, and practicality, the Cornell Railroad Pocket Watch was designed to address the demands of this vital industry and contribute to the efficiency and safety of American railroads.

The Cornell Stem-Wind Pocket Watch was rooted in the desire to simplify and modernize timekeeping during a period of rapid technological advancements in the late 19th century. Unlike traditional key-wind watches, which required a separate key to wind and set the time, stem-wind watches offered a more convenient, integrated solution by allowing users to wind the watch and set the time directly via the crown. This innovation catered to the growing demand for practicality and user-friendly designs, particularly among professionals like railroad workers and businessmen who relied heavily on precise and dependable timepieces. Paul Cornell saw an opportunity to align with these evolving needs, creating a pocket watch that embodied both convenience and reliability.
