Our Approach

How Each Service Begins

Every piece, regardless of service type, begins with the same starting point: a non-invasive visual and physical assessment. This is not a commitment to work — it is how we form an accurate estimate.

Once the assessment is complete, we provide a written estimate covering the full anticipated scope and cost. Work begins only after you have reviewed and agreed. Nothing is assumed.

1

Assessment

Non-invasive inspection at no charge. We evaluate condition, identify issues, determine scope.

2

Written Estimate

Full scope and cost in writing. No hidden additions; any changes require discussion and agreement.

3

Work & Updates

Work proceeds with periodic updates. Photos shared at key stages for refurbishment and overhaul.

4

Return with Documentation

Your piece is returned with a record of work completed. Chronograph overhauls include a full condition report.

Service 01

Vintage Wristwatch Refurbishment

A considered, end-to-end refurbishment for wristwatches from the mid-twentieth century onwards. The process begins with a non-invasive assessment, followed by a written estimate before any work proceeds. Refurbishment may include movement service, dial cleaning where appropriate, hand re-luming, and case detailing that respects original wear marks rather than removing them. Our workshop in Chiang Mai favors patience over haste — most pieces stay with us for five to eight weeks. Owners receive periodic updates with photographs.

  • Movement disassembly, cleaning, and service
  • Dial cleaning (where condition permits, non-destructive)
  • Hand re-luming where appropriate
  • Case detailing that respects original wear marks
  • Periodic photo updates throughout the process

Service 02

Quartz Movement Service & Battery Replacement

A straightforward service for quartz wristwatches, including battery replacement, gasket inspection, case cleaning, and a basic movement check. For pieces with unusual cell sizes or older Japanese movements, we keep a stock of less common batteries and modules. The service is suitable for daily-wear watches that have begun to lose time or have stopped between battery changes. Same-week turnaround for most pieces.

  • Battery replacement including uncommon cell sizes
  • Water-resistance gasket inspection and replacement
  • Case and crystal cleaning
  • Basic movement check — timekeeping accuracy assessed
  • Older Japanese modules in stock
