What We Offer

Three Levels of Care,
Each Done Thoroughly

We offer three services matched to different needs — from a light cosmetic refresh to a patient restoration of a cherished or vintage piece.

Our Methodology

How We Approach Every Watch

Regardless of which service applies, the process starts the same way: we look at the watch with you, discuss what we find, and agree on the work and its cost before anything is opened.

For mechanical movements, the sequence of disassembly, cleaning, inspection, lubrication, reassembly, and regulation is consistent — the service type determines the scope and depth, not a different underlying process.

We work on a limited number of pieces at any time. That is a deliberate choice.

Service One

Case & Bracelet Polish

฿4,600  ·  1–2 weeks

A gentle cosmetic service for watches whose movements run well but whose cases show daily wear. We clean and polish the case and bracelet where suitable, attend to a scratched crystal, and renew worn gaskets. Function is checked and a short condition note is provided with the watch on return.

This service works well for watches that keep reasonable time but look tired from regular wear. It refreshes the appearance without the scope of a full movement service.

What's Included

  • Case polished with care for original finish lines
  • Bracelet cleaned and polished where appropriate
  • Scratched crystal replaced if needed (cost discussed first)
  • Crown and caseback gaskets renewed
  • Basic movement function check
  • Short condition note on return

Process Steps

1

Assessment and condition check with you present

2

Case and bracelet disassembly, cleaning, polishing

3

Service Two

Full Service

฿9,500  ·  ~3 weeks

A complete service for mechanical movements losing steady timekeeping. We disassemble the movement, clean every component ultrasonically, inspect the balance and mainspring, replace worn parts where needed, and lubricate each position correctly. Timing is regulated across multiple positions. Seals are renewed throughout.

Suited to everyday watches that are due for periodic care — typically recommended every five to eight years for a mechanical movement in regular use.

What's Included

  • Full movement disassembly
  • Ultrasonic cleaning of all components
  • Balance, mainspring, and jewel inspection
  • Correct lubrication per position and function
  • Timing regulated across multiple positions
  • All seals and gaskets renewed

Service Three

Full Restoration

฿14,400  ·  5–8 weeks

A patient restoration for cherished or vintage timepieces. Alongside a complete movement overhaul, we restore the case finish with care and attend to the dial and hands in keeping with the watch's original character. Each step is discussed with you beforehand. Progress is documented throughout and shared with you on return.

This service is appropriate for older pieces, inherited watches, or any timepiece where the history and original details matter as much as the mechanical result.

What's Included

  • Complete movement overhaul (as Full Service)
  • Case finish restored to original character
  • Dial cleaning and hands attended to appropriately
  • Pre-work discussion on each cosmetic decision
  • Progress photographed and documented
  • Written restoration record on return

Across All Services

Technical Standards We Hold To

Ultrasonic Cleaning

Movement components cleaned ultrasonically — old lubricant residue removed without mechanical stress on delicate parts.

Grade-Correct Oils

The correct lubricant grade is applied to each function — escapement, keyless works, jewelled bearings, and mainspring all receive different treatment.

Timing Machine Regulation

After servicing, movements are timed in multiple positions. We aim for a practical daily rate suitable for regular wear.

Gasket Renewal

Crown, caseback, and crystal gaskets are replaced as standard when the case is opened — old gaskets are not reinstalled.

Trusted Part Sources

Replacement parts sourced from established suppliers — discussed and agreed with you before fitting.

Secure Custody

Watches are kept securely in the workshop. We don't sub-contract work without your knowledge.
