Our Approach

How We Go About the Work

01

Receive and Assess

Every watch is logged on arrival. We examine the movement, seals, and case before discussing findings with the owner.

02

Agree and Begin

Work starts only after the owner understands the scope and cost. Restorations receive a written plan. Changes are discussed as they arise.

03

Complete and Report

The watch is tested, timing is recorded, and a brief account of the work done is provided at collection alongside any care advice.


Diagnostic and Basic Service

Service 01

Diagnostic & Basic Service

฿4,400

A careful starting point for any watch behaving oddly, beginning with a diagnosis followed by a standard service if the owner wishes to proceed. We open the case, assess the movement and seals, clean and lubricate as needed, and regulate the timing. Particularly useful for owners who are unsure what their watch needs and want an honest assessment first.

The assessment is explained plainly, with no obligation to continue. A service record applies to any work carried out.

What this service includes:

  • Case opening and visual examination of movement
  • Seal and gasket condition check
  • Movement cleaning and appropriate lubrication
  • Timing regulation and timegrapher reading
  • Written findings provided to owner

Seal Renewal and Resistance Check

Service 02

Seal Renewal & Resistance Check

฿7,400

A practical service for watches worn near water or through daily life, focused on restoring the seals that keep moisture and dust out. We replace gaskets, attend to the crown and case back, and test the watch's resistance where its design allows, advising honestly on sensible water contact afterward.

Recommended for dive-style and everyday pieces alike. Any required parts and costs are confirmed before work begins, keeping decisions with the owner.

What this service includes:

  • Complete gasket and seal replacement
  • Crown tube inspection and servicing
  • Case back thread and fitting check
  • Pressure test with calibrated equipment
  • Post-test advisory on appropriate water contact
