Trusted by U-Boat Owners Across the Country
"Had my U-Boat Flightdeck repaired. Fantastic service! They completed all repairs with U-Boat parts and it was an extensive and comprehensive service. I was a little unsure as I had to pack it up and out halfway across the country, but it's well worth it… I'm very happy and will be sending a vintage piece to them very soon."
Collaborative Data Accounts
"I highly recommend Times Ticking for watch repair. Jesse & crew know their stuff and even take the time to talk with you… the prices are more than fair for such craftsmen skills! My opinion: They are like the American Restoration of watches."
Peter K
"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."

Where Others Stop, We Begin
Many shops won't touch a U-Boat. We do.
From the Flightdeck to the Darkmoon, we bring U-Boat watches back to life. Founded by Italo Fontana in 2000 and inspired by designs his family made for the Italian Navy, U-Boat is known for bold, oversized cases like the Flightdeck, Chimera, and oil-filled Darkmoon.
Whether your U-Boat needs routine care or a complete restoration, we have you covered. From sourcing rare parts to taking on repairs others have called impossible, no job is too big or too small.
