How We Work

Assess First, Work Second

Before any of our three services begins, the watch is assessed. We look at the condition, identify what is needed, and explain what the work involves. This assessment is at no charge and carries no obligation to proceed.

If the scope of work turns out to be different from what the initial assessment suggested — for example, a worn component found during disassembly — we stop and discuss it before continuing. The price agreed at assessment is the price paid unless something genuinely unforeseen arises.

Our three services cover the most frequent maintenance requirements for mechanical and quartz watches: fitting and adjusting wearable elements, refreshing the appearance of the dial, and overhauling calendar or moon-phase complications.

Service 02

Dial & Hands Refinishing

Conservative refinishing of hands and minor dial cleaning to lift the look of an aged face without erasing its history. We work only where it improves legibility and stop short of altering original markings. A measured approach for cherished daily watches.

  • Dial inspection under magnification
  • Surface cleaning where safe for the dial material
  • Hand re-lacquering or cleaning to restore colour and contrast
  • Assessment of lume condition — refreshed where appropriate
  • Work stopped short of altering original print or printing

Typical Steps

01Dial and hand removal from movement
02Close inspection — what can and cannot be safely cleaned
03Dial surface cleaning — material-appropriate method
04Hand cleaning or re-lacquering
05Reassembly and legibility check

Shared Across All Services

Professional Standards

Assessment Before Commitment

Every watch is examined before any service is agreed. The cost and scope are confirmed before tools are lifted.

Direct Communication

The watchmaker who assesses the piece is the one who explains the findings. No intermediary, no relay of second-hand information.

Transparent Pricing

Service prices are published. Any change to the agreed scope is discussed and accepted before proceeding — no post-collection surprises.

Conservation-First Approach

We do not over-refinish. The aim is to restore function and legibility without removing or altering what is original to the piece.

Customer Data Privacy

Contact information given at booking is used for service communication only. It is not shared or used for other purposes.

Realistic Timelines

We give an honest estimate at the time of assessment. If something delays the work, we let you know rather than quietly extending the deadline.

Pricing

Clear Pricing for Every Service

All prices are in Thai Baht and apply to standard cases. Unusual movements or additional parts required will be discussed at assessment before any work is agreed.
