The Kobold Soarway Diver was inspired by the classic tradition of professional dive watches while embodying Kobold’s philosophy of building rugged, adventure-ready instruments for explorers and everyday wearers alike. Its design drew from the need for a versatile, dependable tool that could perform in harsh underwater conditions, with features like a robust stainless-steel case, screw-down crown, and high water resistance, while maintaining a clean, functional aesthetic. By blending durability with understated elegance, the Soarway Diver became Kobold’s cornerstone model, appealing to divers, adventurers, and collectors who valued both reliability in the field and timeless design on the wrist.

Kobold Artic Diver Watch Repair >
The Kobold Arctic Diver was inspired by the brand’s deep ties to exploration and the extreme conditions faced in the Earth’s coldest environments, particularly the Arctic and Antarctic regions where visibility, magnetic interference, and durability are constant challenges. Built as an evolution of the Soarway case design, it was engineered to withstand intense cold, magnetic fields, and high pressure, with features like a reinforced case, soft-iron shielding, DLC finishes, and later titanium construction to reduce weight. Its purpose was to create a tool watch reliable enough for professional explorers and adventurers operating in some of the harshest climates on the planet, embodying Kobold’s “spirit of adventure” philosophy.
We know that your Kobold 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.
Kobold Phantom Watch Repair >
The Kobold Phantom was inspired by the needs of military, law enforcement, and tactical professionals who required a rugged, stealthy, and highly legible tool watch for demanding operations. Its all-black PVD-coated design, bold luminous markers, and robust chronograph functions were tailored for covert use in low-light and high-pressure environments, emphasizing utility over ornamentation. The watch’s tactical aesthetic and reliability quickly resonated beyond its intended audience, gaining cultural recognition when it was worn by Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer in the TV series 24, cementing its image as both a professional-grade instrument and an icon of action-ready style.

Kobold Polar Surveyor Watch Repair >
The Kobold Polar Surveyor was inspired by the challenges of navigation and survival in polar regions, where disorientation from constant daylight or darkness and extreme conditions can make conventional timekeeping difficult. Conceived with guidance from famed explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes, the watch was designed to provide explorers with critical functions in a single instrument: a chronograph, dual time zones, a day/night indicator, and a date display. Its purpose was to help adventurers keep track of time and orientation in places where traditional cues fail, making it a pioneering tool watch built specifically for exploration in the most demanding environments on Earth.

Kobold Spirit of America Watch Repair >
The Kobold Spirit of America was inspired by founder Michael Kobold’s desire to create a watch that celebrated American craftsmanship and independence in an industry long dominated by Swiss and German makers. Introduced in 2008 as the brand’s first watch assembled entirely in the United States, it symbolized a bold statement of patriotism and self-reliance, drawing inspiration from America’s pioneering spirit and tradition of innovation. By combining Swiss movements with U.S. assembly and later domestic production of cases and dials, the Spirit of America embodied both Kobold’s adventurous ethos and its commitment to reviving American watchmaking heritage.

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 KOBOLD
The Legacy of Kobold: A History of Precision, Style and Innovation
Kobold Watches, founded in 1998 by Michael Kobold in Pittsburgh, set out to create rugged, adventure-ready timepieces with an independent spirit. The brand quickly gained recognition when explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes and others wore its designs on polar expeditions, Everest climbs, and military missions. Models like the Polar Surveyor, Soarway Diver, and Phantom became hallmarks, blending Swiss precision with tool-watch toughness.
In 2008, Kobold introduced the Spirit of America, the first watch assembled in the United States, marking a renewed effort to revive American watchmaking. Despite later challenges, the brand’s legacy endures through its adventurous ethos, bold innovations, and role in the rise of independent watchmaking, with Kobold watches still valued for their toughness, storytelling, and close ties to exploration.
