In Depth
Each Benefit Explained
Professional Expertise
Fifteen years of bench work, begun at authorised service centres in Bangkok, shapes how each piece is approached. The focus has always been mechanical work — manual-wind, automatic, and chronograph calibres across a wide range of makers.
- Swiss, Japanese, and European mechanical calibres
- Chronograph complications including column wheel and cam systems
- Vintage movements requiring sourced or fabricated components
Structured Process
Every job follows the same sequence: intake, written assessment, agreed scope, work, testing, and collection. Nothing is skipped and nothing is added without a conversation first.
- Written findings document before any dismantling
- Agreed price before work commences
- Post-service timing and seal documentation
Workshop Equipment
The workshop is equipped for professional-level mechanical work, including tools that are not available at most generalist repair shops in the region.
- Timing machine with multi-position measurement
- Ultrasonic cleaning bath for bracelets and cases
- Pressure testing equipment for water-resistant cases
Client Communication
Updates are sent at meaningful points in the work — not at arbitrary intervals. If something requires a decision, the job pauses until you've had a chance to respond.
- Response within one working day to enquiries
- Plain language throughout — technical detail on request
- Available by phone, email, or in person
Measurable Outcomes
After a service, the movement's performance is documented. You receive a record of the timing figures, not just an assurance that work was completed.
- Timing readings across flat, crown-up, and crown-down positions
- Beat error and amplitude noted where relevant
- Pressure test results for applicable cases
Transparent Pricing
Service prices are published as starting points. After inspection, the actual figure is set in writing. Nothing is added to the invoice that wasn't discussed first.
- Chronograph Servicing from ฿3,600
- Bracelet Refurbishment from ฿12,000
- Complete Restoration Project from ฿29,500

What Sets Us Apart
Distinctive to This Workshop
Named Technician
You know exactly who is working on your watch. Not a team, not a queue — one named person accountable throughout.
Service Records Kept
All work is documented and kept on file. Returning clients benefit from a clear history without needing to remember previous service details.
Visitor-Friendly
Work can begin during a Phuket stay and be completed by post. The workshop is used to coordinating with clients who aren't local.
No Work Beyond Scope
Additional findings are always raised with you before any extra work is carried out. The invoice reflects only what was agreed.
