Bangkok Watch Atelier
From daily-wear mechanical movements to cherished family heirlooms — each timepiece arrives at our Sukhumvit workshop and leaves in better condition than we found it.
What We Offer
Three distinct approaches, each shaped around the condition and history of the watch in front of us.
A thorough overhaul for automatic and manual watches — disassembly, ultrasonic cleaning, jewel inspection, precision lubrication, and five-day timing observation before return. A written condition report accompanies every watch.

Request This Service
For older pieces where the original character matters as much as function. Hand case refinishing, conservation-grade dial cleaning, period-appropriate crystal replacement, and matched parts sourcing. We begin with a consultation before any work starts.
฿4,800

Focused on appearance: crystal replacement with sapphire or mineral matched to the model, satin-and-polish case refinishing, bracelet sizing, and pin or screw replacement. Suited for watches that are mechanically fine but have lost their visual appeal.

Every watch is examined under magnification before a quote is given. We describe what we find honestly, and nothing is done without your agreement.
After a mechanical service, you receive a written summary of what was found, what was done, and any notes that may be useful at the next service interval.
Different oils belong at different contact points. We use the appropriate lubricant for each part of the movement, not a single compound applied everywhere.
Vintage and family pieces are handled with an understanding that their significance is personal. We ask about the owner's wishes before touching dial or case surfaces.
Mechanical movements are tested across multiple positions over five days after reassembly. A watch leaves only when its daily rate is within an acceptable range.
Our Sukhumvit Soi 33 workshop is open six days a week. You are welcome to bring your watch in person and speak with the technician who will be working on it.

Common Questions
A standard mechanical overhaul takes around two to three weeks from the day the watch arrives. This includes disassembly, cleaning, reassembly, and the five-day timing observation period before we contact you for collection.
We work with a wide range of mechanical and automatic movements regardless of brand. After initial inspection, we will let you know if a piece falls outside our current capability — for example, highly specialised complications may be better handled by a brand's own service centre.
The quoted price covers disassembly, ultrasonic cleaning of all components, inspection of pivots and jewels, appropriate lubrication, reassembly, and the five-day timing observation. If during inspection we find parts that need replacing, we will discuss the cost separately before proceeding.
Yes. We welcome pre-1980s mechanical watches and family heirlooms. The vintage restoration process begins with a consultation where we discuss your wishes for the piece — how much of the original patina to preserve, whether to source period parts, and what the expected outcome will look like.
We do accept watches sent by registered post or courier within Thailand. Please contact us first so we can advise on safe packaging and ensure someone is available to receive the parcel. We recommend insuring the item for its replacement value before dispatch.
A mechanical watch that is not worn regularly will eventually run down its reserve and stop. This is normal. If it is stored for longer periods, the oils inside the movement may thicken. We generally suggest bringing a watch in for service if it has been sitting unworn for more than three years.
We stand behind the quality of our work. If a watch develops an issue that relates directly to the service we performed, please bring it back for us to assess. We will review the situation and discuss the most appropriate course of action with you.

A Note Before You Write
If you can tell us the brand, approximate age, and what the watch is doing (or not doing), we can give you a much more useful first reply.
