Named after the Chesterfield overcoat, a symbol of sophistication and class, the watch was designed to reflect the same sense of tasteful luxury. Offered in 12-size with various jewel counts, the Chesterfield emphasized portability without sacrificing accuracy, making it a fashionable yet functional choice for daily wear during a time when personal style and punctuality were closely intertwined.

We know that your South Bend 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.

South Bend Grade 219 Pocket Watch Repair >

The South Bend Grade 219 pocket watch was inspired by the need for a dependable, mid-tier timepiece that balanced quality and affordability for the growing American middle class in the early 20th century. As part of South Bend’s 16-size line, the Grade 219 featured a 19-jewel movement that provided robust performance and reliability without the higher cost of railroad-grade models. It was designed to appeal to professionals and everyday users who valued precision and durability in a well-crafted watch, making it a practical and stylish choice for those seeking a trustworthy companion in their daily routines.

South Bend Grade 227 Railroad Pocket Watch Repair >

The South Bend Grade 227 Railroad pocket watch was inspired by the stringent standards of the American railroad industry, which demanded exceptional accuracy and reliability to ensure passenger safety and efficient scheduling. Introduced as a 16-size, 21-jewel timepiece, the Grade 227 was designed specifically to meet these rigorous requirements, embodying the company’s commitment to precision engineering. Its robust construction, clear legibility, and dependable movement made it a trusted choice among railroad workers, reflecting South Bend’s ambition to compete with leading watchmakers like Waltham and Elgin in the highly respected railroad watch market.

South Bend Grade 429 Pocket Watch Repair >

The South Bend Grade 429 pocket watch was inspired by the desire to create a high-quality yet compact timepiece that combined elegance with performance, catering to individuals who wanted the precision of a railroad-grade watch in a smaller 12-size format. While not officially classified as a railroad watch due to its size, the 429 featured a 21-jewel movement and fine craftsmanship that rivaled larger models in accuracy and reliability. Its development reflected South Bend’s effort to broaden their appeal beyond the traditional railroad market, offering a sophisticated option for professionals who valued both technical excellence and refined design in a more discreet pocket watch.

South Bend Studebaker Pocket Watch Repair >

The Studebaker pocket watch by South Bend was inspired by the Studebaker family’s entrepreneurial spirit and their vision to make high-quality American timepieces accessible to a broader audience through direct-to-consumer sales. Leveraging the trusted Studebaker name—already established in the automobile industry—the company marketed these watches by mail order, cutting out middlemen and offering reliable, stylish timepieces at competitive prices. The Studebaker model represented South Bend’s innovative approach to distribution and branding, appealing to hardworking Americans who valued craftsmanship, affordability, and the prestige associated with the Studebaker legacy.

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.

HISTORY OF SOUTH BEND

The Legacy of South Bend: A History of Precision, Style and Innovation

The South Bend Watch Company, founded in 1903 after the Studebaker family acquired the Columbus Watch Company, aimed to uphold American watchmaking by producing high-grade pocket watches known for precision and style. Popular models like the Grade 227 and the mail-order Studebaker series helped build its nationwide reputation.

Despite strong craftsmanship and innovative marketing, South Bend couldn’t withstand the shift toward wristwatches and closed in 1929. Today, its timepieces are treasured by collectors for their quality, design, and link to the Studebaker legacy.
