Osaka JNR Railway Watch Repair >

The Osaka JNR railway pocket watch was inspired by Japan’s commitment to precision and punctuality in railway operations, especially during the postwar modernization of the Japanese National Railways (JNR). As rail networks expanded and high-speed services like the Shinkansen loomed on the horizon, accurate timekeeping became essential for safety, scheduling, and public trust. These quartz pocket watches were issued to conductors and station staff in the Osaka Bureau, reflecting the region’s importance as a transportation hub. Designed for reliability and legibility, they embodied the fusion of traditional watch design with emerging quartz technology to meet the rigorous demands of daily rail service.

We know that your Osaka 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.

Osaka Pocket Watch Repair >

The inspiration behind the Osaka pocket watch, produced by the short-lived Osaka Watch Company between 1893 and 1896, stemmed from Japan’s ambition to establish its own domestic watchmaking industry during the Meiji era, a time of rapid modernization and industrial growth. Influenced by American and Swiss designs, these watches aimed to prove that Japanese craftsmanship could compete on the global stage. Featuring traditional open-face layouts, Roman numerals, and damascened movements, the Osaka pocket watch symbolized national pride and technological aspiration at a time when Japan was eager to assert its self-sufficiency and industrial capability in the face of Western dominance.

Osaka Seiko Railway Watch Repair >

The Osaka Seiko Railway pocket watch was inspired by the rigorous timekeeping standards required by Japan’s expanding rail system, where precision was paramount to safety and efficiency. Designed specifically for railway staff in the Osaka region, this quartz timepiece drew on Seiko’s reputation for technological innovation and reliability. Its creation reflected the practical needs of railway operations—clear legibility, robust construction, and exact timing—while also embodying the disciplined, punctual culture of Japanese rail travel. The watch served as a dependable tool for conductors and engineers, reinforcing Seiko’s longstanding role as a key supplier of official railway timepieces.

Osaka Seiko "Timekeeper" Watch Repair >

The Osaka Seiko “Timekeeper” pocket watch, introduced in 1895 by Seikosha (the predecessor to Seiko), was inspired by Japan’s desire to achieve horological independence and industrial parity with Western nations. As Seikosha’s first in-house pocket watch, it was a response to the dominance of imported timepieces and a symbol of national progress during the Meiji Restoration. Designed with a cylinder escapement and a classic enamel dial, the “Timekeeper” represented both technical ambition and cultural pride, setting the foundation for Seiko’s future innovations and marking a defining moment in Japan’s journey toward becoming a world-class watchmaking power.

Osaka Seikosha "Empire" Watch Repair >

The Osaka Seikosha “Empire” pocket watch, launched in 1909, was inspired by Japan’s growing national identity and its ambition to produce high-quality timepieces domestically at scale. Building on the success of the earlier “Timekeeper,” Seikosha designed the “Empire” to be more affordable and suitable for mass production, symbolizing both technological advancement and accessibility. Its name reflected the pride of a rising Japanese Empire, while its engineering—featuring an anchor escapement and improved manufacturing techniques—demonstrated Seikosha’s commitment to precision and craftsmanship. The “Empire” became a cornerstone of Japanese watchmaking, widely used by students, professionals, and the military through the early 20th century.

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 OSAKA

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

The Osaka Watch Company, founded in the early 20th century in Osaka, Japan, emerged during a period of industrial growth and national pride as Japan worked to build its own watchmaking identity. Influenced by Swiss precision and Japanese craftsmanship, Osaka pocket watches were known for their sturdy construction and simple design, often powered by locally made mechanical movements. They appealed to a domestic market that valued dependable, affordable timepieces during Japan’s push toward modernization.

While not as prominent as Seikosha or Citizen, Osaka helped pave the way for Japan’s horological future. By mid-century, the shift toward wristwatches and increased competition led to the decline of smaller makers like Osaka. Today, their pocket watches are rare outside Japan but remain appreciated for their vintage appeal, historical value, and role in the early development of Japanese watchmaking.
