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

Wittnauer, founded in 1885 by Albert Wittnauer, was a Swiss-American watch brand that gained recognition for its precision and durability, particularly in aviation and military applications. Initially catering to the American market with Swiss movements, Wittnauer became the official supplier for the U.S. military during both World Wars and played a crucial role in early aviation, with pilots and explorers relying on its timepieces for navigation. The brand also gained prominence in the 1950s and 1960s with elegant dress watches and chronographs, competing with luxury Swiss brands at a more affordable price point.

Wittnauer was acquired by Longines in 1950 and later became part of Bulova in 2001, cementing its place in horological history as a brand known for blending Swiss craftsmanship with American innovation.

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 Wittnauer AllProof watch was inspired by the need for a highly durable, shock-resistant, and waterproof timepiece that could withstand extreme conditions, particularly for aviation, exploration, and military use. Introduced in the 1920s, it was designed to be one of the most rugged watches of its time, catering to adventurers and pilots who required reliable timekeeping in challenging environments. Its reputation was solidified when it was reportedly worn during early aviation feats, including test flights and transatlantic journeys, proving its resilience under pressure. The AllProof embodied Wittnauer’s commitment to innovation and precision, pioneering features that would later become standard in tool watches. Its design and engineering set the stage for future developments in sports and professional-grade timepieces.

The Wittnauer automatic watch was inspired by the growing demand for self-winding timepieces that combined convenience, precision, and durability. As automatic movements gained popularity in the mid-20th century, Wittnauer sought to offer a reliable and stylish alternative that blended Swiss craftsmanship with American market sensibilities. The brand aimed to create watches that eliminated the need for manual winding while maintaining accuracy and longevity, making them ideal for professionals, aviators, and everyday wearers. Wittnauer’s automatic models often featured elegant designs, robust cases, and high-quality movements, appealing to those who wanted both sophistication and practicality. The inspiration stemmed from the post-war era’s focus on technological advancements and the desire for timepieces that could seamlessly adapt to modern lifestyles.

The Wittnauer chronograph watches, particularly the Wittnauer Professional Chronograph 242T, were inspired by the growing demand for precision timing in aviation, military, and scientific exploration during the mid-20th century. Wittnauer, already a trusted supplier of timepieces for pilots and the U.S. military, sought to create a high-performance chronograph that could rival Swiss luxury brands while remaining more affordable. The 242T, for example, was designed with clear legibility, a robust stainless steel case, and a Valjoux 72 movement—the same caliber used in early Rolex Daytonas—making it a reliable tool for professionals. The inspiration also stemmed from the brand’s deep connection to pioneering aviation, as Wittnauer timepieces were used in early transatlantic flights and polar expeditions, reinforcing their reputation for precision and durability in extreme conditions.

The Wittnauer Electro-Chron was inspired by the mid-20th-century race to develop the first commercially viable electric watch, a technological leap aimed at improving accuracy and reducing reliance on mechanical movements. With the success of the Hamilton Ventura in 1957, Wittnauer sought to compete in the emerging electric watch market by introducing its own battery-powered model. The Electro-Chron combined futuristic aesthetics with cutting-edge innovation, appealing to consumers fascinated by the Space Age and advancements in miniaturized electronics. By integrating an electronically controlled balance wheel, the watch offered improved precision while maintaining the visual appeal of traditional timepieces. Wittnauer’s foray into electric watches reflected the brand’s commitment to embracing new technology while competing with American and Swiss rivals in the evolving horological landscape.

The Wittnauer quartz watch was inspired by the quartz revolution of the late 1960s and 1970s, when advancements in electronic timekeeping reshaped the watch industry by offering unprecedented accuracy and reliability. Wittnauer, known for blending Swiss craftsmanship with American innovation, embraced quartz technology to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving market. The brand sought to create elegant and precise timepieces that required minimal maintenance while maintaining the luxurious appeal of traditional wristwatches. By incorporating quartz movements, Wittnauer was able to offer more affordable and accessible options without compromising on style or performance, appealing to professionals and watch enthusiasts who valued both modern technology and classic design.
