Detroit Watch Company drew inspiration for the 1701 Classic from Detroit’s early 20th-century golden age, when precision engineering, industrial design, and understated elegance defined the city’s identity, with the watch named after Cadillac Square’s original address of Detroit’s first city hall to anchor it firmly in local history; its clean dial, restrained case proportions, and traditional automatic movement reflect a deliberate homage to vintage American dress watches, emphasizing legibility, balance, and timeless design rather than trends, much like the enduring craftsmanship that once powered Detroit’s rise as a global manufacturing capital.

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 DETROIT WATCH CO.
The Legacy of Detroit Watch Co.: A History of Precision, Style and Innovation
Detroit Watch Company was founded in 2012 in Detroit, Michigan, by Patrick and Amy Ayoub with a mission to revive American watchmaking through modern craftsmanship inspired by the city’s industrial heritage and golden age of manufacturing, design, and engineering, assembling watches locally with high-quality Swiss automatic movements rather than mass production.
The company instead focused on limited-run timepieces named after Detroit landmarks such as the Pontchartrain, Woodward, and 313, blending mid-century style, automotive influence, and functional elegance, and in doing so became a symbol of Detroit’s revival while celebrating resilience, pride of place, and the city’s enduring tradition of skilled craftsmanship.
