The Cheshire 1-Dollar 7-Jewel Model was inspired by the late-19th-century push to create a truly affordable American pocket watch, mirroring the national movement toward low-cost, stamped-part designs pioneered by Waterbury and perfected by Ingersoll. Cheshire set out to prove that even a very simple, economical movement could still offer everyday reliability, building a watch that ordinary workers could buy without the high prices associated with Waltham or Elgin.

Cheshire 3/4-Plate Economy Watch Repair >
The Cheshire 3/4-Plate Economy Model was inspired by the desire to offer a step up from their ultra-budget watches while still keeping production costs low, blending the familiar American 3/4-plate layout with simplified stamped components. This design allowed Cheshire to appeal to buyers who wanted a watch that looked more like the mid-grade pieces from Waltham or Elgin but remained inexpensive enough for everyday use.

Cheshire Full-Plate Low-Cost Watch Repair >
The Cheshire Full-Plate Low-Cost Model was inspired by the classic American full-plate pocket watches that dominated the mid- to late 1800s, so Cheshire tried to mimic the visual style of those larger, more traditional movements while still using stamped, economical parts to keep the price down. It allowed budget-minded buyers to own a watch that looked like the respected full-plate pieces from Waltham or Hampden, even though it was built with simpler construction meant for affordability rather than high-grade performance.

Cheshire Nickel-Plated Watch Repair >
The Cheshire Nickel-Plated Model was inspired by the growing popularity of brighter, more refined-looking nickel movements that companies like Elgin and Waltham were producing in the late 1800s, so Cheshire adopted nickel plating as a way to make their low-cost watches appear more upscale. The goal was simple: give budget buyers a pocket watch that looked modern and higher grade, even though the underlying movement was still built with economical stamped parts, creating affordable elegance during a time when visual appeal mattered almost as much as performance.
We know that your Cheshire 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.
Cheshire Stem-Wind Watch Repair >
The Cheshire Stem-Wind Model was inspired by the industry-wide shift from key-wound watches to the more modern and convenient stem-wind, stem-set system that became popular in the late 1800s. As competitors like Elgin, Waltham, and Hampden moved toward keyless works, Cheshire introduced its own simplified stem-wind design to stay relevant and offer buyers a watch that functioned like the newer, higher-grade models of the era—but still at a budget-friendly price.

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 88 RUE DU RHONE
The Legacy of 88 Rue Du Rhone: A History of Precision, Style and Innovation
Cheshire Watch Company operated in Cheshire, Connecticut, from about 1883 to 1901, rising during America’s push to produce low-cost, mass-market pocket watches that could compete with Ingersoll’s dollar-watch movement and the inexpensive models coming from larger factories like Waterbury. The company focused on simplified, economical movements assembled with stamped parts, allowing them to sell watches at very low prices, but this same strategy ultimately led to its downfall: intense competition, shrinking margins, and rapidly improving technology from bigger manufacturers made it difficult for Cheshire to keep pace.
By the early 1900s, the company ceased production, leaving behind a modest legacy as one of the many smaller New England firms that helped transition American watchmaking toward truly affordable everyday timepieces.
