The Tavannes Belt watch, introduced in the late 1920s, was inspired by a growing fascination with portability and discreet timekeeping during an era when wristwatches were still gaining widespread acceptance, leading Tavannes to reimagine how a watch could be worn by integrating it into a belt buckle so the wearer could check the time subtly without drawing attention, blending functionality with fashion and reflecting the period’s broader experimentation with unconventional watch designs and personal accessories.

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 TAVANNES
The Legacy of Tavannes: A History of Precision, Style and Innovation
Tavannes Watch Co., founded in 1891 in Tavannes, Switzerland by Henri Frédéric Sandoz, rose during a golden era of Swiss watchmaking with a vision to produce reliable, precise timepieces at scale while preserving craftsmanship, quickly becoming one of the world’s largest manufacturers by the early 20th century, producing millions of pocket watches, wristwatches, chronographs, and military timepieces.
Closely tied to the Cyma brand, Tavannes built a reputation for innovation and durability, supplying watches for aviation, naval, and military use—including early waterproof and trench watches in World War I—but like many historic makers, it declined during the quartz crisis, and today its watches are valued by collectors for their ingenuity and historical significance.
