The Peoria Grade A pocket watch was inspired by the demand for top-tier railroad timepieces in the late 19th century, when precise and durable watches were essential for railway safety and scheduling. Designed to compete with the finest American makers like Waltham and Elgin, it showcased Peoria’s ambition to prove that a small Illinois firm could produce a non-magnetic, fully adjusted, high-grade movement equal to the era’s best, blending technical innovation with elegant finishing to meet the rigorous standards of professional railroad service and discerning collectors.

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 PEORIA
The Legacy of Peoria: A History of Precision, Style and Innovation
The Peoria Watch Company, founded in the late 1880s in Peoria, Illinois, aimed to rival leading makers like Waltham and Elgin. Backed by local investors and civic funding, it built a modern factory to produce high-grade, non-magnetic 18-size pocket watches for railroad service and professional use. Top models like the Grade A and B showcased precise engineering and elegant finishing that captured the era’s technological optimism.
Though short-lived, Peoria left a lasting mark on American watchmaking. Financial challenges led to its closure, but its rare pocket watches remain valued for their craftsmanship, accuracy, and historical significance, reflecting the company’s bold pursuit of world-class standards.
