The Burlington Model 9 Railroad Grade 21-Jewel was inspired by the golden age of American railroading, when accurate timekeeping was essential for safety and coordination across expanding train networks. Built to meet the rigorous standards of railroad inspection watches, it featured a robust 21-jewel Illinois movement, precise regulation, and high visibility dials for quick reading under demanding conditions. This model represented Burlington’s dedication to producing professional-grade watches that delivered precision, reliability, and value, serving both railway workers and collectors who admired the craftsmanship of early 20th-century horology.

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 BURLINGTON
The Legacy of Burlington: A History of Precision, Style and Innovation
The Burlington Watch Company, established in Chicago around 1908, gained recognition for selling high-quality pocket watches directly to consumers through mail-order catalogs, making fine timepieces more affordable to the public. Rather than manufacturing its own movements, Burlington partnered with the Illinois Watch Company of Springfield, which produced customized “Burlington Special” movements exclusively for them. These watches were known for their precision, durability, and railroad-grade standards, often featuring 19 to 21 jewels. Burlington’s installment-based sales approach democratized access to quality watches during the early 20th century.
The company thrived through the 1910s but declined by the mid-1920s as direct sales models and market competition evolved, leaving behind a legacy of accessible American craftsmanship.
