What We Offer

Three Services,
Each With Its Purpose

From maintaining a daily wearer to restoring a piece of family history — each service path is clear, priced from the start, and carried out with the same attentiveness.

Our Approach

How Every Service Begins

Assessment

The watch is examined and a written condition note is prepared. This document describes the current state, what is recommended, and what the work will cost.

Agreement

The owner reviews the assessment and confirms they are comfortable to proceed. No work begins until this step is complete.

Work & Return

The service is carried out, timing is verified, and the watch is returned. For longer restoration projects, progress updates are provided along the way.

Essential Service Package

Service 01

Essential Service Package

฿4,500

A foundational service for watches currently in use. The movement is disassembled, cleaned in an ultrasonic bath, freshly lubricated with calibre-appropriate oils, and regulated on a timing machine. A written condition note is prepared and the owner is informed of anything that may need attention later — without pressure to act.

Well-suited to watches worn regularly whose last service was five or more years ago, or pieces recently acquired second-hand whose service history is unknown. Most movements are returned within two to four weeks.

What's Included

  • Full movement disassembly
  • Ultrasonic cleaning of components
  • Fresh lubrication throughout
  • Timing machine regulation
  • Written condition note
  • Service warranty on work

Typical Timeline

2 – 4 weeks from agreed start date, depending on calibre complexity and current workshop schedule.

Best Suited For

Daily wearers, recently acquired pieces, watches overdue for routine attention.

Service 02

Bezel & Crystal Service

฿7,900

A focused repair for watches whose bezel has worn, scratched, or loosened, or whose crystal has cracked, hazed, or fogged over time. A suitable replacement crystal is sourced and fitted; the bezel is attended to for action or finish; and the case is resealed where its design allows.

Parts and associated costs are confirmed with the owner before fitting — the choice of crystal type (mineral, sapphire, or acrylic, depending on the period and model) is always discussed rather than assumed. Particularly suited to sports and dive watches that have seen active use.

What's Included

  • Crystal sourcing and fitting
  • Bezel action and finish work
  • Case resealing where applicable
  • Parts confirmed in advance

Typical Timeline

1 – 2 weeks standard; longer if specialist parts need to be ordered.

Best Suited For

Sports watches, dress watches with damaged glass, pieces with loose or worn bezels.

Full Restoration for Collectible Watches

Service 03

Full Restoration for Collectible Watches

฿15,000

A thorough, sympathetic restoration for collectible and inherited watches, carried out at a pace that protects fragile or irreplaceable components. The work may include movement repair, sourcing of period-correct parts, treatment of wear and corrosion, dial conservation, and return to reliable use — all while preserving the original character of the piece.

Each restoration begins with a careful assessment and a written plan agreed together. Nothing proceeds without the owner's understanding of the scope and approach. Recommended for pieces of personal significance, inherited timepieces, or watches with collector or historical value.

Work May Include

  • Period-correct parts sourcing
  • Corrosion and wear treatment
  • Dial conservation
  • Full movement restoration
  • Written plan agreed before start

Typical Timeline

Variable — typically 6 – 12 weeks, depending on parts availability and extent of work. Discussed at assessment stage.

Best Suited For

Heirlooms, collectibles, vintage pieces of personal or historical significance.
