We specialize in repairing popular Fortis collections. Learn more about the history of these collections:

Fortis B-42 Watch Repair >

The Fortis B-42 Pilot Professional was inspired by classic aviation watches and built to meet the demanding needs of modern pilots. Its design emphasizes extreme legibility, with bold Arabic numerals, luminous hands, and a clean dial layout optimized for quick reading under pressure. Named after its 42mm case size, the B-42 combines Fortis’s tool-watch heritage with Swiss automatic reliability and rugged construction, including a screw-down crown, high water resistance, and shock protection. Drawing from cockpit instrumentation, it embodies the utilitarian style and precision timing essential for aviation, becoming a favorite among professionals and enthusiasts seeking a no-compromise flight watch.

We know that your Fortis watch is important to you and understand that the sentimental value more often than not outweighs the monetary value. Our expert watchmakers strive to make sure your watch can be worn for many years to come.

Fortis Flieger Watch Repair >

The Fortis Flieger Automatic was inspired by traditional pilot watches of the mid-20th century, reimagined with modern engineering and minimalist design. Introduced in the 1980s, it helped revive interest in the Flieger (pilot) watch genre with its clean, high-contrast dial, oversized luminous hands, and lack of unnecessary decoration—hallmarks of functional aviation timepieces. Fortis designed it to prioritize readability and reliability, using robust automatic movements and a solid stainless steel case, making it a go-to choice for pilots and military personnel. Its blend of vintage-inspired aesthetics and rugged utility has since made it one of Fortis’s most enduring and iconic models.

Fortis Marinemaster Watch Repair >

The Fortis Marinemaster was inspired by the golden era of 1970s dive watches, blending vintage aesthetics with robust, professional-grade functionality. Originally developed as a tool watch for divers, it featured bold case designs, rotating bezels, and high water resistance to meet the demands of underwater exploration. Over the years, the Marinemaster became a cult favorite among collectors for its distinctive cushion case, vibrant dial options, and reliable automatic movement. Fortis revived the model with modern upgrades while preserving its retro charm, making it a standout piece that captures the adventurous spirit of both vintage diving and contemporary tool-watch design.

Fortis Official Cosmonauts Chronograph Watch Repair >

The Fortis Official Cosmonauts Chronograph was inspired by the need for a durable, precise, and highly legible mechanical watch that could function reliably in the harsh conditions of space. In the early 1990s, Fortis partnered with the Russian space agency Roscosmos to develop a timepiece that could endure zero gravity, intense vibrations, and sudden temperature changes. Drawing from its aviation roots, Fortis engineered the chronograph with a high-contrast dial, antimagnetic properties, and a robust case to meet strict cosmonaut specifications. After passing rigorous testing, it was officially adopted as standard equipment aboard the Mir space station and later the ISS, making it the first mechanical chronograph certified for open space by Roscosmos.

Fortis Stratoliner Watch Repair >

The Fortis Stratoliner was inspired by high-altitude aviation and spaceflight, designed to function in the stratosphere and beyond. Originally introduced in the 1960s and later reimagined, the Stratoliner reflects Fortis’s deep connection to aerospace innovation. Its most recent versions are powered by space-rated movements and are tested under extreme conditions, including stratospheric balloon flights. The design incorporates a chronograph layout with cosmic-inspired color accents and a robust build suitable for pilots and explorers. True to its name, the Stratoliner bridges the gap between aviation and space, embodying Fortis’s mission to create watches that thrive where few others can.

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.

Doug Hammer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had several issues with my Bulova mechanical watch, including running too fast. They not only fixed it, but it is better than when I bought it new. Amazing! And the only place I recommend for service.

Kent Bolin ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Outstanding in every way. TT exceeded all of my expectations…and my old watch is working like new.

Nameless Ghoul ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I never believed in miracles until the day I got my watch back. I never thought I would see it working again, but they made it happen. I am extremely happy with the work they did, and I definitely appreciate all the research they did to make this small miracle happen.

Brian Rudnicki ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very satisfied with my experience. My favorite watch is now back running and working perfectly. I was a little leary as we are in GA and they are not but they were very timely and easy to communicate with so it all worked out great.

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.
