George Town, Penang
Careful hands, unhurried work
Three services for watches that matter to you — handled at the bench, with the kind of attention that does not rush.
what we do
Three areas of work
Vintage Dial and Hand Care
Gentle dust removal, refitting of loose indices, hand straightening and re-luming only where the original material has already failed. The option to leave the dial entirely untouched is always presented first.
- Photo record before and after work
- Written note on what was left alone
- Two to three weeks, parts dependent
Timing Regulation and Accuracy Review
Rate, amplitude and beat error measured in six positions, followed by regulator adjustment and balance poising where needed. The client receives a printed before-and-after chart with readings in plain language.
- Six-position timing machine measurement
- Printed results chart included
- Usually four working days
Battery, Seal and Quartz Health Check
Correct cell replacement, hatch and contact inspection for corrosion, gasket renewal and a short electrical test. Includes a light exterior clean and an honest note if the movement shows wear worth watching.
- Correct cell type, no substitution
- Case-back gasket renewed
- Completed while you wait, most cases

What you can count on
Nothing hidden
Every decision is explained in writing before work begins. You decide what happens to your watch.
Workshop standard
Work is carried out at the bench with proper equipment — not outsourced, not rushed through.
Written record
You leave with a note of what was done, what was measured, and what was left alone — and why.
Patina respected
Vintage pieces are treated as objects with history. Cosmetic change is never assumed to be an improvement.

A question costs nothing
Bring the watch in, or describe what you are seeing. We will tell you what we think is going on before any commitment is made.
