Watchmaking tools laid out on a bench

Three Ways to Care for Your Timepiece

From a straightforward care visit to a planned vintage restoration — each programme is sized to the watch and what it actually needs.

How We Work Through a Service

Every piece that comes into the workshop follows the same opening steps: we examine it, note its condition, and explain what we find to the owner. No work begins before that conversation. From there, the path divides depending on what the watch needs.

A Dial-Ready Refresh is completed within a few working days. A Movement Service takes one to two weeks. A Keepsake Restoration is planned work — we agree on a timeline, then provide progress notes at each stage so the owner stays connected to what's happening with their piece.

01

Assessment & Discussion

We examine the watch and explain our findings. You decide what to proceed with.

02

Service in Progress

Work is carried out on our bench in George Town. For restoration, you receive progress notes.

03

Quality Check

Mechanical work is verified on a timing machine. Any concerns are addressed before collection is arranged.

04

Collection & Condition Note

Your watch is returned with a written note of everything that was done and found.

Applied Across All Services

In-House Only

All work is done in our George Town premises. No third-party workshops, no postal risks.

No Scope Creep

Any change to scope or cost is discussed and agreed with the owner before work proceeds further.

Documented Results

Written notes of findings and work accompany every job at collection. Timing readings are included for mechanical services.

Secure Storage

Pieces not on the bench are held in locked storage within the workshop. An intake log tracks every item from arrival to return.

Correct Lubricants

We use viscosity-matched lubricants for each movement zone: escapement, gear train, and keyless work each receive the appropriate grade.

Timing Verification

Mechanical movements are measured on a calibrated timing machine in multiple positions. Results form part of the condition note.

Clear Prices in Malaysian Ringgit

All prices are per piece. Additional parts, if required, are quoted separately before any extra work is started.
