The Thornehill Alanjack Bangle watch was a 1950s jewelry-style timepiece inspired by the era’s fascination with glamorous costume accessories, blending a small Swiss mechanical movement with a hinged bracelet covered in colorful rhinestones to function as both a watch and a decorative bangle. Sold through jewelry retailers under the Thornehill and Alanjack names, it reflected the postwar trend of turning watches into fashion pieces rather than strictly timekeeping instruments, using bright stones, curved metalwork, and a tiny dial to create a wearable jewel that complemented cocktail attire and eveningwear.

Thornehill Chaton Combiné Watch Repair >
The Thornehill Chaton Combiné watch drew from mid-century Swiss private-label practices, where small retailers commissioned elegant dress watches built around compact manual-wind movements and simple Art Deco styling; the phrase “Chaton Combiné” was a decorative French term meant to suggest refined assembly rather than indicate a true model line, and the watches typically featured a clean square or rectangular case, applied markers, a sub-seconds dial, and a minimalist Swiss movement, creating an affordable yet sophisticated timepiece that blended practicality with understated 1940s–1950s design.

Thornehill Lucite Pendant Watch Repair >
The Thornehill Lucite Pendant watch reflects the mid-20th-century trend of turning watches into fashion jewelry, using translucent or colored lucite to create a playful, modernist pendant or bracelet form that housed a tiny Swiss manual-wind movement; these pieces were inspired by the rise of novelty jewelry in the 1950s–1970s, when designers experimented with plastics, geometric shapes, and bright materials to make accessories feel youthful and decorative, resulting in a watch that functioned more as a stylish charm than a traditional timepiece.

Thornehill Rectangular Bracelet Watch Repair >
The Thornehill Rectangular Bracelet watch emerged from the 1960s–1970s shift toward sleek, jewelry-like timepieces that blended fashion with simple Swiss mechanics, using a slim rectangular dial integrated directly into a decorative bracelet rather than a traditional case with lugs; these watches were inspired by modernist design trends that favored clean lines and wearable elegance, and they typically featured hand-wound movements, minimalist markers, and a bangle or linked bracelet form that made them function as both a watch and a stylish accessory.

Thornehill Rhinestone Bangle Watch Repair >
The Thornehill Rhinestone Bangle watch was inspired by the mid-century craze for sparkling costume jewelry, pairing a tiny Swiss manual-wind movement with a hinged bracelet covered in faceted rhinestones to create a piece that functioned as both a watch and a glamorous accessory; popular from the 1940s through the 1960s, these designs echoed the look of cocktail-era bangles and evening bracelets, using bright stones, curved metalwork, and a discreet dial opening to offer an affordable, fashion-forward alternative to fine jewelry watches.

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 THORNEHILL
The Legacy of Thornehill: A History of Precision, Style and Innovation
Thornehill watches emerged in the mid-20th century through small Swiss makers who produced affordable, elegant timepieces for American jewelry retailers seeking their own branded watches. As a private-label name, Thornehill appeared on everything from compact Art Deco-style dress watches to rhinestone bangles and lucite pendants, each built with simple hand-wound movements and styled for postwar buyers who liked both practicality and fashion.
Though never a major company, Thornehill’s small-batch designs now offer a window into mid-century boutique watchmaking, where personalized branding and creative cases produced charming, distinctive pieces. Their scarcity and variety make them appealing to collectors of niche and decorative vintage watches, highlighting how even modest private-label brands added character to Swiss watch history.
