The Lancaster Watch created by Adams & Perry in the mid-1870s was inspired by a vision to prove that American craftsmanship could rival the finest Swiss timepieces, using innovative engineering and elegant design to showcase domestic skill. Founded in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, by watch designer Edwin A. Perry and entrepreneur Joseph D. Adams, the company sought to build high-grade, fully American movements with precision and beauty that matched European imports. Their flagship 20-jewel model embodied this ambition with advanced full-plate construction and refined finishing, reflecting a broader post–Civil War drive to establish world-class American industry and make Lancaster a center of horological excellence.

Built in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, these 18-size movements—often with 19 or 20 jewels and featuring Edwin A. Perry’s patented plate layout and fine finishing—embodied post–Civil War industrial ambition and precision craftsmanship. The watches highlighted stem-wind and stem-set mechanisms, advanced jeweling, and a commitment to all-American manufacturing, reflecting both the founders’ engineering vision and the broader push to establish the United States as a world-class horological center.

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.

HISTORY OF ADAMS & PERRY
The Legacy of Adams & Perry: A History of Precision, Style and Innovation
The Adams & Perry Watch Company was a short-lived but historically notable American watchmaker founded in 1874 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, by Edwin A. Perry, a skilled watch designer, and Joseph D. Adams, a businessman seeking to build a premier domestic timepiece enterprise. Their goal was to create high-grade, fully American-made movements to rival Swiss imports, and they developed an advanced 19-jewel movement noted for its precision and fine finishing. Financial troubles and management conflicts, however, plagued the startup, and by late 1876 the company was reorganized as the Lancaster Watch Company, which eventually evolved through various owners into the Hamilton Watch Company.
Though brief, Adams & Perry’s emphasis on innovation and quality helped lay the groundwork for Lancaster’s later success and contributed to the growth of American watchmaking in the late 19th century.
