The Boston Dennison, Howard & Davis Model 1852 was inspired by the Boston Watch Company’s ambition to industrialize watchmaking by combining precision craftsmanship with American mass-production methods. Aaron L. Dennison envisioned a timepiece built with fully interchangeable parts—an idea drawn from the success of mechanized firearm manufacturing in Springfield and other U.S. armories. Seeking to rival and eventually surpass the hand-crafted precision of Swiss and English watches, the company aimed to prove that machinery and standardization could produce affordable yet highly accurate timepieces, laying the groundwork for the modern American watch industry.

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 BOSTON
The Legacy of Boston: A History of Precision, Style and Innovation
The Boston Watch Company, founded in Roxbury, Massachusetts, in 1850 by Aaron L. Dennison, Edward Howard, and David P. Davis, was a pioneering force in American watchmaking and the first to introduce industrialized watch production methods in the United States. Their vision was to create high-quality, interchangeable watch parts through mechanized manufacturing—a concept inspired by the precision of American firearm production. Despite their groundbreaking approach, financial difficulties forced the company into bankruptcy by 1857, leading to its reorganization as the Appleton Tracy & Co., which later evolved into the renowned Waltham Watch Company.
Though short-lived, the Boston Watch Company’s innovations laid the foundation for America’s dominance in 19th-century watchmaking and set the stage for mass-produced precision timepieces worldwide.
