How We Approach Every Watch

Before any service begins, we assess the watch and record its condition. We don't start a job until we understand what's in front of us. If the assessment reveals something that changes the scope, we contact you before proceeding. The price you agree to at intake is the price you pay, unless something unexpected emerges — in which case, you hear about it first.

All three services below are performed in-house in Ipoh. We don't send work out unless a piece genuinely requires a specialist not available locally — and we tell you when that's the case.

Service 01

Quiet Check

Service 02

Movement Renewal

RM 590

A complete service for mechanical watches — cleaning, oiling, and precise regulation on a timing machine. Suited to pieces that have gone several years without attention. We keep you updated at each step and never proceed with extra work unannounced.

What's Included

  • Full movement disassembly
  • Ultrasonic or hand cleaning of all parts
  • Fresh lubrication throughout the movement
  • Timing machine regulation — pre and post recorded
  • Progress updates at each stage
  • Reassembly and case refinement if needed

How It Works

1

Watch arrives and is assessed. Timing machine reading taken. You're told what's found.

2

Movement is disassembled. Parts are cleaned. Any worn components are identified and discussed with you before replacing.

3

Fresh oils are applied to all critical points. Movement is reassembled.

4

Regulation on the timing machine. Post-service rate is recorded and shared with you.

5

Ready in 10–14 working days. You're notified at each step.

Best suited to: mechanical automatics and hand-winds, watches serviced 5+ years ago or never serviced, pieces running noticeably slow or erratically.

Watch case and crystal refinishing
Service 03

Case & Crystal Care

RM 350

Gentle refinishing of the case with crystal repair or replacement, easing daily marks while keeping the watch's character. A considered refresh for a well-loved piece. Delicate coatings and vintage finishes are treated with particular restraint.

What's Included

  • Case refinishing (brushed or polished surfaces)
  • Crystal inspection and replacement if required
  • Preservation approach for vintage or coated cases
  • Post-refinish condition check and clean
  • Discussion of scope before any cosmetic work begins

How It Works

1

Watch is assessed. Case finish, crystal condition, and any coatings are noted. We discuss what level of work is appropriate for this particular piece.

2

Case is refinished using the agreed approach — with restraint where the original finish should be preserved.

3

Crystal is repaired or replaced if needed. Replacement options are discussed with you before installation.

4

Final condition check and clean. Ready in 5–7 working days typically.

Best suited to: everyday watches with accumulated scratches, crystal damage, pieces needing a cosmetic refresh without full mechanical work.

Standards Across All Services

Logged Intake

Every watch is photographed and described on arrival. Nothing begins without this record in place.

Secure Storage

Watches left with us are stored securely in the workshop, not in open retail display areas.

No Silent Additions

Parts, additional labour, or extra procedures are not added without your prior agreement. The bill you receive matches what was agreed.

Seal Inspection Standard

All services include a check of crown gaskets and accessible seals. We note the result honestly, including limitations.

Honest Referral

If your watch needs work beyond what we offer, we say so and suggest where it should go instead.

Realistic Timelines

We give honest turnaround estimates. If something changes — parts availability, unexpected complexity — we let you know rather than simply going quiet.
