The Fasoldt Double-Wheel Lever Watch stands as Charles Fasoldt’s most significant horological achievement, patented in 1859 and celebrated for its ingenious design that dramatically reduced friction and improved precision. Unlike conventional lever escapements, Fasoldt’s system used two escape wheels working in harmony, delivering smoother impulse and greater efficiency to the balance wheel. Each component was hand-fitted and finely adjusted, often revealing Fasoldt’s distinct decorative engraving and superior finishing. Produced in extremely limited numbers in his Albany workshop, these watches combined scientific innovation with artistic mastery, earning Fasoldt recognition as one of the most technically gifted watchmakers of his era and cementing his legacy in early American precision watchmaking.

Every detail—from the finely damascened plates to the delicately engraved bridges and hand-blued screws—reflected Fasoldt’s perfectionism and devotion to horological excellence. Unlike mass-produced American watches of the era, each No. 400 Series piece was entirely handmade, adjusted for superior accuracy, and intended as a masterwork rather than a commercial product. Today, surviving examples are exceptionally rare and revered by collectors as symbols of Fasoldt’s genius—the perfect blend of mechanical brilliance, artistic elegance, and 19th-century American watchmaking at its finest.

Featuring finely jeweled movements, temperature-compensated pendulums, and meticulous hand adjustments, each regulator reflected Fasoldt’s mastery of both mechanical design and aesthetic refinement. Produced in very small quantities, these clocks were not only technical marvels but also works of art, representing the pinnacle of American horological engineering during a period when precision truly defined progress.

Fasoldt Skeleton Watch Repair >
The Fasoldt Skeleton Watch is one of Charles Fasoldt’s most visually captivating creations, revealing the intricate beauty of his engineering genius. Handcrafted in his Albany workshop during the mid to late 19th century, these skeletonized timepieces stripped away the plates and excess metal to showcase the heart of his innovation—the double-wheel lever escapement. Every bridge, wheel, and screw was finished by hand, often engraved with delicate patterns that reflected Fasoldt’s artistic flair as much as his mechanical mastery. The open design allowed admirers to observe the synchronized motion of the dual escape wheels and the precise oscillation of the balance, transforming each watch into both a technical demonstration and a work of art. Produced in extremely small numbers, Fasoldt’s skeleton watches remain among the most coveted American timepieces ever made, embodying the fusion of science and artistry that defined his legacy.

Heartfelt Testimonials on Watch Repair
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.
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.
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.
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!
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 CHARLES FASOLDT
The Legacy of Charles Fasoldt: A History of Precision, Style and Innovation
Charles Fasoldt was a master German-American watchmaker and inventor born in Dresden in 1819 who became one of the most respected figures in 19th-century American horology. After immigrating to the United States, he established workshops in Rome and later Albany, New York, where he handcrafted precision watches, marine chronometers, and regulators known for their technical innovation and meticulous beauty. In 1859, he patented his famous double-wheel lever escapement, designed to minimize friction and enhance accuracy—a hallmark of his mechanical genius.
Producing only a limited number of pieces, Fasoldt focused on perfection over volume, and his watches, each finished and engraved by hand, are celebrated today for their rarity, engineering brilliance, and their role in elevating early American watchmaking to world-class standards.
