A live pendulum — the kind our bench has repaired for 40 years
Since 1985

Two generations, one promise

Surya Times opened its shutters on Sivagangai Road in 1985, when a wristwatch was a lifetime companion and a wall clock was the heartbeat of a home. The tools have changed. The promise hasn't: honest work, fair price, and a guarantee we stand behind.

I

The first generation

Founded the shop and built its name the slow way — one repaired watch, one satisfied customer at a time. Regulars from those early years still walk in with the same clocks.

II

The second generation

Carries the same bench and the same standards into a new era — and is building new ways to serve you, like guarantee records delivered to your phone, arriving soon.

The same counter

Whatever ticks, we look after it: automatic, key-wound or battery — from a grandfather's key-type wall clock to a schoolchild's first quartz watch, every brand welcome at our bench.

How an automatic watch works — your wrist winds it, no battery needed. We repair these every week.

What we do

Sales, service & repair — under one roof

The faded sketch behind this section is the world we work in daily — the geared movement of an automatic, the winding key of an old wall clock, the crown of a battery watch. All three still cross our bench every week.

XII

Watch & clock sales

Wrist watches from Taxmo, Citizen, Enoy Port and imported ranges. Wall clocks from Ajantha, Promise and more, plus table and alarm clocks — honest, affordable prices, with and without guarantee options clearly explained.

⚡

Battery replacement

Done while you wait, sealed properly — with a one-year guarantee.

✦

All-brand repair & service

Automatic, key-wound and battery watches of every brand — Titan, Fastrack, Sonata and more. Wall clock servicing too. Typical repairs ready in 2–3 days — we call you the moment yours is done.

◎

Straps, glass & fitting

Chain and strap changes, link cutting for the perfect fit, glass replacement and polishing — small jobs done with the same care as big ones.

Our guarantee, honoured for 40 years. Every guaranteed job carries a clear one-year guarantee — the same promise two generations have stood behind. Coming soon: your guarantee record sent straight to your phone by WhatsApp or SMS.
