Three Ways We Can Help

From a simple annual review to a thorough heritage restoration, each engagement is shaped around the individual watch and its owner's intentions.

Assessment and routine care for fine watches

Assessment & Routine Care

Cleaning and fresh lubrication are included where appropriate. A written summary follows, with no pressure to proceed further.

Why Krit Horology

A Considered Approach to Watch Care

The things that owners of fine timepieces tend to value most — and which guide everything we do.

Careful, Unhurried Assessment

Every watch is examined thoroughly before any work begins. You receive a clear, honest account of its condition and what, if anything, is worth addressing.

Full Written Records

A written summary accompanies every service. This supports the watch's history and its value, whether it is kept or eventually passed on.

Originality Preserved

Parts are sourced to match the watch's period and specification. Where original components are available, they are used. Over-polishing and irreversible alterations are avoided.

Clear, Respectful Communication

Updates are given at each stage. Nothing is done without your knowledge and agreement. There is no pressure toward additional work beyond what you have requested.

Accessible in Chiang Mai

Based on Thanon Si Donchai in the Chang Khlan area, we are straightforward to reach for residents and visitors. Remote consultations can be arranged for watches requiring travel.

A Personal Service

Each watch is handled by one technician throughout its time with us, not passed between multiple pairs of hands. The watchmaker who assesses your piece is the one who works on it.

Questions

Common Questions

A few things owners commonly ask before bringing a watch in for the first time.

What happens when I bring my watch in?
We begin with a careful visual and mechanical assessment, carried out under magnification. You will receive a written report of what we find, along with any recommendations. There is no obligation to proceed with further work, and no charge is made if you choose not to.
How long does a service typically take?
An assessment and routine care service is generally completed within five to seven working days. Movement repair and tuning depends on the complexity of the movement and parts availability, but most are completed within three to four weeks. Heritage restoration work can take longer, particularly where parts sourcing is involved — we will give you a realistic timeframe at the outset.
What watch brands and types do you work on?
We work with a wide range of Swiss, German, and Japanese mechanical movements — from well-known Swiss houses to independent makers and vintage pieces of various origins. If you are unsure whether your watch falls within our scope, please feel free to contact us and we can advise.
Will the service affect the originality of my watch?
Preserving originality is a central concern in everything we do. We avoid over-polishing cases, use period-correct or matched components where possible, and will always discuss any work that might have aesthetic implications with you before proceeding. Your approval is required at each step.
How are your prices structured?
Prices are shown for each of our three service tiers. The assessment and routine care service is ฿4,300. Movement repair and tuning starts at ฿16,500 depending on complexity. Heritage restoration is quoted from ฿45,000, with a full estimate provided after the initial assessment. Parts sourcing costs, where applicable, are discussed and agreed upon before work begins.
Is my watch insured while it is with you?
Watches in our care are stored securely and handled with the greatest attention. We are happy to discuss specific concerns around high-value pieces when you make an enquiry, and can provide details of the precautions in place.
