The Hemel Airfoil draws its inspiration directly from 1970s British military pilot chronographs, channeling the restrained yet functional aesthetic of cockpit timepieces from that era. The design embraces cues such as a broad-arrow marker at 6 o’clock (a symbol long used on British military gear), a clean two-register chronograph layout, and a narrow 12-hour rotating bezel—elements aimed at both legibility and aviation utility. One reviewer described it as “an American-designed 21st-Century interpretation of a 1970s British pilot’s chronograph” built around a legacy manual-winding movement.

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 HEMEL
The Legacy of Hemel: A History of Precision, Style and Innovation
Hemel Watches, founded by designer Marvin Menke in New York, grew from a love of vintage military tool watches and mid-century aviation instruments. Instead of recreating old designs, Hemel focused on preserving their spirit—reviving the clean lines, rugged utility, and purposeful charm of classic pilot and field watches with modern engineering.
Each release, from the Type 20-inspired HFT20 to the jet-age Air League Special and motorsport-styled Sky Racer, reflects Menke’s dedication to historical authenticity with contemporary craftsmanship. Made in small batches with careful detail, Hemel watches echo the reliability once demanded by pilots, soldiers, and explorers, standing today as a modern microbrand that transforms aviation and military heritage into timeless everyday wear.
