Non Magnetic 21J Pocket Watch Repair >

The inspiration behind the Non Magnetic 21J pocket watch was rooted in the growing industrial and electrical advancements of the late 19th century, where exposure to magnetic fields—especially from telegraph lines, motors, and railroad equipment—was causing mechanical watches to lose accuracy or stop altogether. To address this, the Non Magnetic Watch Co. partnered with watchmakers like Waltham and Elgin to produce high-grade 21-jewel movements equipped with non-ferrous components such as palladium hairsprings and balance wheels, often incorporating Dr. Paillard’s patented anti-magnetic alloys. Designed specifically for professionals like railroad workers, these watches offered both precision and resistance to magnetic interference, making them ideal for critical timekeeping in demanding environments.

We know that your Non Magnetic 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.

Non Magnetic Elgin 96 Pocket Watch Repair >

The Non Magnetic Elgin Grade 96 pocket watch was inspired by the need for accurate, reliable timekeeping in environments increasingly affected by magnetism, such as railroads, telegraph offices, and industrial settings. Elgin collaborated with the Non Magnetic Watch Co. in the 1880s to adapt its existing Grade 96 movement—an affordable and widely produced 7- to 11-jewel model—with anti-magnetic components like palladium balance wheels and hairsprings developed under Dr. Paillard’s patents. This partnership allowed Elgin to offer a mass-market watch that retained functional accuracy even when exposed to magnetic fields, appealing to everyday workers who needed dependable performance without the high cost of more complex railroad-grade watches.

Non Magnetic Paillard Pocket Watch Repair >

The Non Magnetic Paillard pocket watch was inspired by Dr. Charles-Auguste Paillard’s groundbreaking work in developing non-ferrous alloys for watch components, particularly hairsprings and balance wheels, which were highly susceptible to magnetism in the increasingly electrified world of the late 1800s. As industries expanded and magnetic fields became a common threat to mechanical accuracy, Paillard’s alloys—especially palladium-based ones—offered a revolutionary solution. These watches, often bearing his name, showcased the practical application of his innovations and were marketed through the Non Magnetic Watch Co. as technologically advanced timepieces that could resist the disruptive effects of magnetism while maintaining reliable performance for professionals and everyday users alike.

Non Magnetic Waltham 17J Pocket Watch Repair >

The Non Magnetic Waltham 17J pocket watch was inspired by the demand for a mid-grade, reliable timepiece that could resist the growing threat of magnetism in everyday and industrial environments. As electric equipment and magnetic interference became more widespread in the late 19th century, Waltham partnered with the Non Magnetic Watch Co. to modify its standard 17-jewel movements with anti-magnetic components, including palladium balance wheels and hairsprings licensed from Dr. Paillard’s innovations. This collaboration allowed Waltham to offer a precision watch that balanced durability, affordability, and resistance to magnetism—making it appealing to tradesmen, telegraph operators, and professionals who required dependable performance without the cost of high-grade railroad watches.

Non Magnetic Waltham 1883 Pocket Watch Repair >

The inspiration behind the Non Magnetic Waltham 1883 pocket watch stemmed from the widespread popularity of Waltham’s Model 1883 movement—an 18-size, robust, and reliable design—combined with the urgent need for magnetism-resistant timekeeping in the electrically advancing world of the late 19th century. As telegraphs, motors, and other magnetic sources became common, Waltham adapted its proven Model 1883 by incorporating non-magnetic components such as palladium balance wheels and hairsprings through its partnership with the Non Magnetic Watch Co. This fusion of a trusted platform with anti-magnetic technology resulted in a highly marketable and dependable watch, ideal for workers in railroads, industry, and communications who required accuracy in magnetically volatile settings.

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 NON MAGNETIC

The Legacy of Non Magnetic: A History of Precision, Style and Innovation

The Non Magnetic Watch Company of America was founded in the 1880s to address a growing issue in horology: magnetism interfering with mechanical watches. Instead of making its own movements, the company partnered with established brands like Waltham and Elgin, upgrading their designs with palladium-based anti-magnetic components developed by Swiss scientist Dr. Charles-Auguste Paillard.

Based in New York, the company promoted its watches as ideal for railroad workers, telegraph operators, and others exposed to magnetic fields. Though it declined by the early 1900s, its timepieces remain collectible for their role in advancing magnetic resistance and their unique place in American watchmaking history.
