03

Careful work

Service proceeds according to the agreed scope. No additions without prior discussion. Heritage pieces photographed throughout.

04

Verified return

Timing machine results recorded. Written condition report prepared. Watch returned with the documentation.

Crystal crown case restoration
Duration: 1–2 weeks ฿ 7,800

Service 02

Crystal, Crown & Case Restoration

Cosmetic and structural restoration for watch cases. The service covers replacement of acrylic, mineral or sapphire crystals, refitting of crowns and stems, gasket renewal, careful polishing of cases and bracelets where the owner agrees to it, and water-resistance pressure testing where the case allows. Each request begins with a quiet consultation so any cosmetic decision rests with the owner.

What is included

  • Crystal replacement — acrylic, mineral, or sapphire
  • Crown and stem refitting
  • Gasket renewal at all openings
  • Case and bracelet polishing — on owner's explicit request only
  • Water-resistance pressure testing (where case permits)
  • Pre-work consultation on all cosmetic choices

This service is suited to

Watches in everyday wear with damaged or scratched crystals, those with a loose or stiff crown, pieces where water resistance is uncertain after years without gasket renewal, and sentimental or vintage models where the original case shape should be preserved intact.

Heritage complication restoration
Duration: 4–8 weeks ฿ 14,800

Service 03

Heritage & Complication Restoration

A specialist restoration service for vintage chronographs, perpetual calendars, moonphase pieces, and family heirlooms that may have been resting in a drawer for many years. The work includes diagnostic disassembly, replacement of out-of-tolerance parts where suitable spares can be sourced, regulation of complications, and refinishing of dials only when the owner specifically requests it.

What is included

  • Diagnostic disassembly and full condition assessment
  • Out-of-tolerance part replacement where spares are sourceable
  • Complication regulation — calendar, chronograph, moonphase
  • Dial refinishing on explicit owner request only
  • Photographic record shared at each key stage
  • Full written restoration report at completion

This service is suited to

Vintage chronographs and calendar watches resting unused, family heirlooms received from a relative's estate, perpetual calendar movements that have lost their synchronisation, and any complicated watch whose owner values transparency over speed. Watches in this category usually spend four to eight weeks in the workshop.

Shared across all services

Workshop standards

Ultrasonic component cleaning

Applied to disassembled movement parts to remove contamination without surface abrasion. Standard for all movement work.

Consent before irreversible steps

Polishing, refinishing, or sourcing parts outside the original scope are only undertaken after explicit discussion and agreement with the owner.

Written documentation

A written report accompanies every completed watch. Records are produced for both diagnosis and completion, forming a permanent service history.

Pressure testing

Cases with a water-resistance rating are pressure tested after all gasket renewal work. Results are noted and disclosed to the owner.

Single technician responsibility

The technician who assesses the watch carries out the work. There is no split between diagnosis and execution, and no anonymous bench worker.

Owner data & watch security

Watch receipt documentation is issued at drop-off. Owner contact details are held only for the duration of the service and not shared with third parties.


Pricing

Stated prices, no surprises
