ZentRa Automatic watches were inspired by the mid-20th century push toward convenience and modern living, when German watch cooperatives aimed to make reliable, self-winding timepieces accessible to everyday consumers; instead of the daily ritual of hand-winding, these watches harnessed wrist motion through automatic movements—often sourced from respected German makers—reflecting a broader industry shift toward practicality, durability, and understated design that aligned with postwar Europe’s focus on efficiency and rebuilding.

ZentRa Jump Hour watches were inspired by the early 20th-century fascination with mechanical innovation and unconventional time display, later revived during the 1960s–1970s era when brands experimented with futuristic designs; instead of traditional hands, the jump hour mechanism used rotating discs to display time through apertures, appealing to consumers drawn to modern, almost digital-looking watches while still rooted in mechanical craftsmanship, reflecting a blend of novelty, engineering creativity, and the period’s appetite for bold new ways to read time.

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 ZENTRA
The Legacy of ZentRa: A History of Precision, Style and Innovation
ZentRa watches trace their legacy to 1927 in Berlin, when a cooperative of German watchmakers formed the Zentralverband der Deutschen Uhrmacher to strengthen the industry and produce reliable, standardized timepieces; rather than acting as a single manufacturer, ZentRa coordinated production across German workshops—especially in Pforzheim—creating durable, affordable watches ranging from dress pieces to military-style models.
As Germany moved through wartime disruption and postwar rebuilding, ZentRa adapted by blending traditional craftsmanship with automatic technology, becoming a trusted name in everyday households; while never a luxury brand, it produced millions of dependable watches, and today vintage ZentRa pieces are valued for their practicality, history, and representation of German watchmaking resilience.
