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 CERTINA
The Legacy of Certina: A History of Precision, Style and Innovation
Certina was founded in 1888 in Grenchen, Switzerland, by brothers Adolf and Alfred Kurth, who began producing high-quality watch movements in a small family workshop. Originally known as Grana, the company gained recognition for its precision and reliability before adopting the name Certina in 1938, derived from the Latin word certus, meaning “certain.” Under the second generation, Erwin and Hans Kurth, Certina expanded rapidly, becoming one of Switzerland’s largest private watchmakers. In 1959, the brand revolutionized durability with its DS (Double Security) system, introducing enhanced shock and water resistance that defined its identity. Tested in extreme conditions—from the Mariana Trench to Himalayan expeditions—Certina’s watches earned a reputation for toughness and accuracy.
Now part of the Swatch Group and headquartered in Biel/Bienne, Certina continues its legacy with Swiss automatic, quartz, and solar-powered movements, blending heritage craftsmanship with modern innovation.
