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

The Rockford Watch Company, founded in 1874 in Rockford, Illinois, was the vision of Hosmer P. Holland, a Civil War veteran, Israel Sovereign, a prominent hardware and stove merchant, and George Troxell, a local politician. Together, they raised $150,000 from 400 citizens to bring their dream to life, opening the factory in 1876 at 325 South Madison, near the Rock River. Known for producing high-quality pocket watches aimed at railroad workers and professionals, Rockford sought to rival established brands like Waltham and Elgin.

Reorganized as The Rockford Watch Company, Ltd. in 1901, the factory faced misfortune with a devastating fire in 1903 and a lightning strike soon after. Despite producing over 900,000 watches, financial struggles and mounting competition forced its closure in 1915. Today, Rockford pocket watches are cherished by collectors for their precision, durability, and historical significance.

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.
