The San Jose 6-size pocket watch was developed during the brief existence of the San Jose Watch Company in 1891 as an effort to expand beyond the standard large pocket watch. While no records describe its specific inspiration, the smaller 6-size format reflected the growing demand for more compact, lightweight pocket watches that were easier to carry and appealed to a wider range of customers. Today, surviving examples are exceptionally rare due to the company’s very limited production.

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 SAN JOSE
The Legacy of San Jose: A History of Precision, Style and Innovation
The San Jose Watch Company was founded in 1891 in San Jose, California, after acquiring the Otay Watch Company’s equipment. The company aimed to establish a West Coast watchmaking industry by producing high-quality American pocket watches to compete with brands like Waltham and Elgin, but financial difficulties quickly ended production.
Despite its brief existence and production of fewer than 100 known movements, San Jose pocket watches are among the rarest American timepieces ever made. Today, they are prized by collectors for their rarity and their unique place in early California and American watchmaking history.
