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

Glycine Airman Watch Repair >

The Glycine Airman watch came directly from the needs of international pilots in the early 1950s, particularly those flying long-haul routes across multiple time zones. In 1953, after discussions with U.S. Air Force personnel and commercial airline pilots, Glycine developed a watch that featured a 24-hour dial, a rotating bezel for tracking a second time zone, and hacking seconds for precise synchronization. This practical design allowed pilots to easily read military (24-hour) time and coordinate operations across global locations, making the Airman a pioneering tool watch for the jet age.

We know that your Glycine 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.

Glycine Combat Watch Repair >

The Glycine Combat watch was inspired by military field watches and the brand’s desire to create a rugged, reliable timepiece for demanding environments, both on land and underwater. Introduced as part of Glycine’s effort to expand beyond aviation, the Combat line—especially the popular Combat Sub—was designed for soldiers, divers, and adventurers who needed a durable, legible watch with water resistance and automatic movement. Its styling reflects classic military aesthetics, with clean dials, luminous markers, and robust cases built to withstand harsh conditions, blending tool-watch functionality with everyday versatility.

Glycine F-104 Watch Repair >

The Glycine F‑104 was inspired by the sleek, high‑speed profile of the Lockheed F‑104 “Starfighter” jet and the precision instruments found in its cockpit. Glycine echoed this aviation heritage in the watch’s design details—its clean, easy‑to-read dial features a stepped or inclined chapter ring reminiscent of aircraft gauges, while the sturdy case and flat sapphire crystal evoke the robust, functional build of flight instruments. For Glycine’s 100th anniversary in 2014, they even released a special F‑104 edition with pilot‑style features like an onion crown and riveted leather strap, deepening its connection to vintage aviation and early jet age aesthetics.

Glycine Incursore Watch Repair >

The Glycine Incursore watch was inspired by vintage Italian military watches used during World War II, particularly those worn by naval commandos and special forces. Its name—”Incursore,” meaning “raider” or “commando” in Italian—reflects this heritage. The design pays homage to minimalist, utilitarian field watches of that era, featuring a large, highly legible dial, oversized case, and prominent crown, all meant for durability and ease of use in harsh conditions. By reviving these historical elements with modern construction and Swiss movements, Glycine created a bold, functional tribute to classic military timepieces.

Glycine KMU Watch Repair >

The Glycine KMU 48 (with “KMU” standing for Kleine Mechanische Uhr, or “small mechanical watch,” despite its massive 48 mm size) debuted in the late 1990s as a nod to the no-nonsense military field watches of the mid-20th century. Its design draws heavily on those rugged, legible servicemen’s timepieces from World War II — featuring bold Arabic numerals, cathedral hands, and an uncluttered dial for maximum readability. Powered by a hand-wound Unitas (ETA 6497) movement without an automatic rotor, the KMU 48 reinforces a functional, tool-watch ethos. With its oversized presence, vintage aesthetics, and minimalist field-watch sensibility, it appeals to collectors seeking a statement piece rooted in historical military utility.

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.

HISTORY OF GLYCINE

The Legacy of Glycine: A History of Precision, Style and Innovation

Glycine was founded in 1914 by Eugène Meylan in Bienne, Switzerland, with a focus on producing finely crafted, precise timepieces and miniature movements for women’s watches. The brand gained widespread recognition in 1953 with the launch of the Airman, a 24-hour GMT pilot watch designed for military and commercial aviators, which became especially popular among U.S. Air Force personnel during the Vietnam War. Glycine continued to innovate throughout the 20th century, maintaining a reputation for rugged, functional watches with a strong aviation and military heritage.

Despite changing ownership over the years—including a 2016 acquisition by Invicta Watch Group—the brand has retained a loyal following, particularly for its classic Airman and Combat lines that reflect its roots in tool-watch design and Swiss horological tradition.
