Specialized Shinola Repairs by Times Ticking

Expert Care for Every Watch Style & Collection

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

Shinola Canfield Watch Repair >

The Shinola Canfield watch was inspired by a desire to blend classic American design with modern watchmaking techniques. Introduced in 2016, it was Shinola’s first timepiece to feature a top-loaded case construction, allowing for a more open and refined dial appearance. This design choice aimed to create a sleek, contemporary look while honoring traditional craftsmanship. The Canfield’s name pays homage to Canfield Street in Detroit, reflecting Shinola’s commitment to the city’s revitalization and its rich industrial heritage. Overall, the Canfield embodies Shinola’s mission to produce high-quality, American-assembled watches that resonate with both style and substance.

We know that your Shinola 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.

Shinola Duck Watch Repair >

The Shinola Duck watch draws its inspiration from the classic “skin diver” watches of the 1960s and 1970s, which were known for their durability, affordability, and appeal to casual scuba enthusiasts. Shinola’s design team, led by Greg Verras, delved into vintage Skin Diver magazines to capture the playful and leisurely spirit of that era. The Duck features a 40mm stainless steel case, vibrant dial colors, and a basketweave-textured rubber strap, all assembled and tested at Shinola’s Detroit headquarters. The watch’s name and design pay homage to the carefree nature of skin diving, emphasizing exploration and enjoyment over technical precision.

Shinola Mackinac Watch Repair >

The Shinola Mackinac watch was inspired by the historic Bayview Mackinac Race, a legendary freshwater sailing competition held annually on the Great Lakes since 1925. Designed in collaboration with sailors and marine experts, the Mackinac embodies the spirit of endurance and nautical precision, featuring a regatta timer function and bold, highly legible design elements ideal for racing conditions. Its distinctive square case pays homage to nautical flags, while its name and engineering reflect Shinola’s commitment to honoring Detroit’s manufacturing heritage and the rich maritime culture of the Great Lakes region.

Shinola Monster Watch Repair >

The Shinola Monster watch series was inspired by the legends and natural beauty of the Great Lakes, particularly the lore surrounding the Lake Erie Monster—a mythical creature first reported by sailors in 1894. This narrative influenced the design of Shinola’s first dive watch, the Lake Erie Monster, which marked the brand’s debut into automatic timepieces. The watch features a 43mm stainless steel case, a unidirectional bezel, and a caseback adorned with an engraving of the legendary creature, complete with a blue sapphire eye. Subsequent models in the Monster series drew inspiration from other Great Lakes, incorporating design elements that reflect the unique characteristics of each lake, thereby celebrating the region’s rich maritime heritage.

Shinola Runwell Watch Repair >

The Shinola Runwell was inspired by early American wristwatches and Detroit’s industrial legacy. Its design reflects a commitment to classic aesthetics, quality construction, and American manufacturing. The Runwell’s clean dial, durable build, and timeless style pay homage to vintage timepieces while embodying Shinola’s mission to revive craftsmanship in Detroit.

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 SHINOLA

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

Shinola was founded in 2011 in Detroit, Michigan, by Tom Kartsotis, the founder of Fossil, with a mission to revive American manufacturing and craftsmanship. Named after the defunct shoe polish brand, Shinola quickly gained attention for its assembly of watches using Swiss-made Ronda movements and American-sourced components, positioning itself as a symbol of Detroit’s industrial resurgence. Though some critics challenged its “Made in America” claims due to imported parts, Shinola expanded its offerings to include leather goods, bicycles, and audio equipment.

Today, it’s recognized as a lifestyle brand blending modern design with a nostalgic nod to American heritage and assembly.
