Service 03

Heirloom Revival Service

฿30,500

A thorough revival for inherited watches, covering movement overhaul, careful refinishing, and sympathetic part replacement. Created for owners who want a cherished piece running and presentable again. The process is paced and transparent throughout.

  • Full movement overhaul (complete disassembly and service)
  • Case and bracelet refinishing (sympathetic to age)
  • Crystal replacement if worn or cracked
  • Period-appropriate part sourcing where needed
  • Water-resistance check on completion
  • Full written record of work done and parts used

Note on Scope

Heirloom revivals are assessed individually. The price above reflects standard scope. If the piece requires specialist parts that affect the cost, this is discussed and agreed before that work is done.

Typical turnaround: 4–8 weeks

Standards

Protocols Applied to All Three Services

Regardless of which service your watch requires, these practices apply across the workshop.

Individual Watch Security

Every piece is logged on arrival, stored in a labelled tray, and tracked through each stage. Nothing is mixed with other customers' watches.

Calibre-Specific Lubrication

Moebius lubricant series used throughout, matched to the type and location of the components being oiled. Not a general-purpose compromise.

Written Scope Agreement

Nothing begins without a written assessment agreed with the owner. Scope changes are discussed before they happen, not revealed on collection.

Watchmaker-Only Hands

All work is handled by a qualified watchmaker — not delegated to assistants for cleaning or partial reassembly.

No Work Without Agreement

If something unexpected is found mid-service, work is paused and you are contacted. Nothing is done beyond agreed scope without your approval.

Full Parts Transparency

Any component replaced during a service is listed in the handover notes with its origin. You know exactly what is in your watch.
