The Elka Arinis was inspired by Elka’s own mid-20th-century dive watches, particularly the robust Swiss tool divers the brand produced in the 1950s and 1960s for professional and military use, and it blends that heritage with modern construction by echoing classic skin-diver proportions, high-contrast legibility, and utilitarian details while updating the watch with contemporary materials, improved water resistance, and a modern Swiss automatic movement, resulting in a piece that feels historically authentic without being a direct reissue.

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 ELKA
The Legacy of Elka: A History of Precision, Style and Innovation
Elka watches trace their origins to 1914 in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland, where Elka Watch Co. was founded during a pivotal era of Swiss industrial watchmaking, first producing dependable pocket watches and later practical wristwatches designed for everyday professionals rather than luxury elites. As wristwatches replaced pocket watches, Elka became known for clear legibility, durability, and straightforward, purpose-driven construction.
Through the early and mid-20th century, Elka supplied robust watches for civilian, military, and tool-watch use, favoring function over ornamentation. Though the brand faded during the Quartz Crisis, its modern revival draws directly from this utilitarian heritage, reinterpreting mid-century designs with contemporary Swiss movements while preserving Elka’s core values of functional precision and understated design.
