The Appleton, Tracy & Co. Grade Model 1857 was inspired by the revolutionary goal of creating a truly American-made watch built through industrial precision rather than handcrafted methods. Aaron Lufkin Dennison, often called the father of American watchmaking, envisioned a timepiece produced with interchangeable parts—an idea borrowed from the firearm industry’s manufacturing techniques. The Model 1857 embodied this vision, showcasing that reliable, high-quality watches could be produced efficiently and affordably in the United States. Its success marked a turning point in horological history, proving that America could rival and even surpass Swiss craftsmanship through innovation and mechanical standardization.

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 APPLETON
The Legacy of Appleton: A History of Precision, Style and Innovation
Appleton Watch Company was founded in 1857 in Waltham, Massachusetts and was one of the early ventures that contributed to America’s burgeoning watchmaking industry. Founded by a group of skilled craftsmen and investors—many of whom were involved in the Waltham Watch Company—it operated under the broader influence of the “American System” of watch manufacturing, which emphasized interchangeable parts and mass production. Known for producing high-quality pocket watches that balanced precision and affordability, Appleton became recognized for its reliability and craftsmanship during a time when American horology was gaining global respect.
Although the company was eventually absorbed into the larger Waltham Watch Company operations, the Appleton name, particularly seen in “Appleton, Tracy & Co.” movements, remained associated with fine American watchmaking and is still admired by collectors today.
