The Auburndale Rotary was inspired by a desire to revolutionize traditional time display through mechanical ingenuity. Founder D. W. Player sought to simplify reading the time while showcasing American engineering creativity, designing a system where the entire dial rotated beneath a stationary hand instead of the other way around. This bold inversion of conventional design reflected both the inventive spirit of post-Civil War America and the experimental fervor of the 1870s watch industry, when makers were pushing the limits of machinery and imagination to stand out in a rapidly industrializing market.

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 AUBURNDALE
The Legacy of Auburndale: A History of Precision, Style and Innovation
Auburndale Watch Company was a short-lived American watch manufacturer founded in Auburndale, Massachusetts, in the mid-1870s by D. W. Player, who aimed to produce high-quality watches using innovative machinery to rival established firms like Waltham and Elgin. The company’s most notable product was the Auburndale Rotary, a distinctive model featuring a rotating dial instead of moving hands—a mechanical curiosity that reflected the inventive spirit of the era. Despite its originality, the design proved too complex and costly to mass-produce, and the company struggled financially, closing within just a few years.
Today, surviving Auburndale watches are rare collector’s pieces admired for their unconventional engineering and place in early American horological experimentation.
