Three levels of care for mechanical watches

From a first condition check to a full overhaul of a complicated caliber — each tier is designed around a different need, with clear pricing and a written record at every level.

— Approach

How every service is conducted

Every piece that enters the workshop follows the same intake process: it is logged, given a reference number, and assessed under magnification before any work begins. Timing is measured in multiple positions at intake so we have a baseline to compare against once service is complete.

For each service tier the work follows a defined sequence — inspection first, then disassembly if required, cleaning, re-oiling, reassembly, and timing verification. Nothing is skipped and nothing is assumed to be fine without being checked.

When work is finished, the owner receives a written record of what was found, what was done, and what the timing figures showed before and after. The piece is then returned with a summary that can be kept with the watch for future reference.

— Standard process

01

Intake and logging — reference number assigned, condition noted

02

Baseline timing measurement across multiple positions

03

Assessment and costed plan shared with owner (for larger jobs)

04

Work begins on owner confirmation

05

Post-service timing verification

06

Written service record prepared and piece returned

Watch inspection

— Service 01

Inspection & Light Service

฿3,900

An entry service covering cleaning of the exterior, a movement health check, timing measurement in multiple positions, and minor adjustment. Suited to owners who want a clear picture of their watch's condition before deciding on further work. You receive a plain, jargon-free summary of findings.

  • Exterior cleaning and case condition check
  • Movement health assessment under magnification
  • Timing measurement — multiple positions
  • Minor adjustment where accessible
  • Written plain-language condition report

Process steps

1 Exterior inspection and cleaning
2 Movement check — power reserve, beat error, amplitude
3 Timing measurement and minor regulation
4 Condition report written and presented

Typical turnaround: 2–3 working days

Watch strip and rebuild

— Service 02

Full Strip & Rebuild

฿16,200

A complete strip-down, ultrasonic cleaning, re-oiling, and rebuild for mechanical watches that have not been serviced in some years. Suited to a daily piece that has begun to lose reliability. The rebuild includes seal renewal where fitted and a final accuracy report.

  • Full movement disassembly
  • Ultrasonic cleaning of all components
  • Caliber-appropriate lubrication throughout
  • Seal renewal where applicable
  • Post-rebuild timing accuracy report

Process steps

1 Movement removed and baseline timing recorded
2 Full disassembly, component inspection
3 Ultrasonic clean, rinse, dry
4 Reassembly with caliber-matched lubricants
5 Seal renewal and case reassembly
6 Timing verification and written report

Typical turnaround: 7–14 working days

Complicated movement overhaul

— Service 03

Complicated Movement Overhaul

From ฿33,000

A detailed overhaul for chronographs and other complicated calibers, with component-level inspection, careful refinishing where appropriate, and a thorough written record. Designed for valued pieces where you want every step documented. We share a costed plan in advance and proceed only with your go-ahead.

  • Component-level inspection and assessment
  • Complication mechanism disassembly and service
  • Advance written costed plan, no surprises
  • Partial case refinishing if requested
  • Full written service record, all steps documented

Process steps

1 Intake and preliminary assessment
2 Costed plan prepared and shared
3 Work begins on owner approval
4 Base movement and complication serviced separately
5 Integration, timing, function verification
6 Full written record prepared and returned with watch

Turnaround: individual — discussed at assessment

Best for: Inspection

Owners who want to understand a watch's condition before committing to more extensive work, or who have recently acquired a piece of unknown service history.

Best for: Strip & Rebuild

A daily wear piece showing signs of wear — loss of power reserve, erratic timekeeping, or a service interval of eight or more years. Most mechanical watches fall into this category.

Best for: Overhaul

A chronograph, calendar, or other complicated piece, particularly one of personal or financial significance where thorough documentation of the work is important.

— Standards

Technical protocols across all services

Ultrasonic cleaning standard

Components cleaned in a timed ultrasonic bath, then rinsed and dried before fresh lubrication is applied. Removes old oils, debris, and oxidation from small parts.

Position-specific lubrication

Different lubricants are used for the escapement, gear train, and mainspring barrel. Using the correct viscosity at each point extends the service interval and supports stable timekeeping.

Multi-position timing check

Rate and amplitude measured in a minimum of four positions — dial up, dial down, crown up, crown down — to reflect real-world wearing conditions rather than a single flat reading.

Water resistance where applicable

Where a case is rated for water resistance, seals are renewed during a full rebuild. We note the original rating in the service record but do not test submerged.

Documented intake and return

Each piece is photographed on arrival to record condition at intake. The same photographs are referenced on return to confirm the piece is back in the same or better state.

No scope changes without consent

If a worn component is found during service, work stops. The owner is informed before anything is ordered or replaced. The final invoice only reflects agreed work.
