The Legacy of Illinois: A History of Precision, Style and Innovation
The Illinois Watch Company, founded in 1870 in Springfield, Illinois, was a prominent American watch manufacturer known for its high-quality timepieces and innovative designs. Originally established as the Springfield Watch Company, it rebranded to Illinois Watch Company in 1878. The company gained recognition for its precise railroad-grade pocket watches, which were essential for ensuring safety and punctuality during the golden age of railroads. Illinois also produced elegant wristwatches, including the popular Art Deco-inspired models of the 1920s and 1930s. Despite its success, the company faced financial challenges and was acquired by the Hamilton Watch Company in 1928, marking the end of its independence.
Illinois watches remain highly collectible today, celebrated for their craftsmanship and historical significance in American watchmaking.

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.
