Specialized MATWATCHES Repairs by Times Ticking

Expert Care for Every Watch Style & Collection

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

MAT California XL Watch Repair >

The MAT California XL watch was inspired by the historic California dial layout, a design that originated in the 1930s and became synonymous with military and dive watches due to its unique mix of Roman numerals, Arabic numerals, and markers that enhanced legibility under pressure. MATWATCHES reinterpreted this distinctive dial format in a bold, modern case with left-side crown placement, drawing influence from vintage Panerai prototypes and wartime tool watches worn by combat divers and special forces. The California XL blends this nostalgic military aesthetic with contemporary materials and proportions, creating a rugged, heritage-inspired timepiece tailored for both professional use and everyday style.

We know that your MATWATCHES 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.

MAT GMT NESO Watch Repair >

The inspiration behind the MAT GMT NESO lies in its roots as a confidential tool-watch originally designed for submariners, aimed at offering both a day/night indication and compass functionality—a necessity for underwater missions. It emerged from a collaboration between explorer-photographer Philippe Bourseiller and MAT co-founder Fabrice Pougez, who, fueled by Bourseiller’s travel experiences and feedback, recognized a demand for a rugged GMT watch with integrated compass guidance. The result is a 42.5 mm steel watch featuring a Swiss Soprod automatic movement, a 24‑hour rotating bezel, and luminous cardinal markers that not only display dual time zones but—with the GMT hand and sun position—serve as a practical compass tool, embodying freedom, exploration, and reliable expedition utility.

MAT Officer Watch Repair >

The MAT Officer was inspired by the real-world needs of France’s elite RAID tactical unit. Since 2005, MAT has worked closely with RAID and other special forces to design watches that perform flawlessly across sea, air, and land environments. The Officer merges a refined executive-style aesthetic with the robustness and legibility necessary for operational use—making it a horological tribute to those who rely on precision, toughness, and discreet functionality in the field.

MAT Picobello Titane Watch Repair >

The Picobello Titanium was inspired by MATWATCHES’ 20th‑anniversary vision to create a modern, refined yet fully rugged instrument watch rooted in their core mission of sea‑air‑land performance. Drawing visual cues from 1960s–70s automotive and 1960s dive‑watch design, the 39.5 mm grade‑5 titanium case features a bi‑directional bezel functioning as a chrono, and a highly legible sector‑style dial with super‑lume for optimal day/night readability—blended into a lightweight, comfortable everyday tool watch that reflects MAT’s technical heritage and contemporary ambitions.

MAT Urban Furtive Watch Repair >

The inspiration behind the MAT Urban Furtive centers on creating a sleek, everyday tool watch tailored for urban and professional environments—built with MAT’s “sea–air–land” heritage for special forces operatives. Its barrel-shaped, discreet yet readable black PVD design offers robustness (water-resistant to 100 m), high legibility with Super‑LumiNova, and was engineered to meet the demands of RAID officers and modern users needing a resilient yet elegant timepiece for any daily mission.

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 MATWATCHES

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

MATWATCHES, short for Mer-Air-Terre (Sea-Air-Land), was founded in 2005 by Fabrice Pougez in Paris to create durable, high-performance watches for elite French military and law enforcement units like RAID, GIGN, and the Foreign Legion. Built for real-world missions, each watch emphasizes toughness, legibility, and field-tested reliability.

While rooted in military use, MAT expanded to civilian wearers, gaining a following for models like the Urban Furtive, California XL, and GMT NESO. In 2023, its 20th anniversary saw the launch of the Picobello collection with grade 5 titanium. Today, MAT remains a boutique brand known for blending tactical heritage with modern French craftsmanship.
