Why Chronavault

A considered approach to repair

Workbench Transparency

Every piece is inspected and documented before any work begins. You receive a written condition note so there are no surprises on collection.

Heritage Calibre Knowledge

Older movements and obscure calibres are handled with the same attention as contemporary pieces. We keep reference material for hundreds of movements on file.

Calibrated Timing Equipment

Movements leave the bench verified against a timing machine. Rates are documented and shared with the owner as part of the service record.

Measured Restoration Approach

Case work is discussed in advance. Re-finishing is done by hand with tools chosen for the metal and finish type — never aggressive polishing that removes original surfaces.

In-House Parts Fabrication

When catalogue parts are no longer available, certain components can be fabricated or sourced through specialist networks — particularly for vintage and pre-war movements.

Turnaround Discussed Up Front

Lead times vary by work complexity and current queue. We discuss a realistic timeframe at intake — and keep you informed if anything changes mid-service.

Get in touch

Is your watch overdue for the bench?

Questions

Frequently asked

How do I bring a watch in for service?
You can walk into the workshop during opening hours, or contact us first by phone or email to arrange a drop-off time. We accept pieces in person at 142 Sukhumvit Soi 24. For watches being shipped from outside Bangkok, please reach out before sending so we can confirm the process.
How long does a full movement service take?
A standard full movement service typically takes between two and four weeks depending on the current workload. More complex work — particularly vintage overhauls or complication pieces — will take longer, and we'll discuss a realistic timeframe at intake.
Will you service any brand of watch?
We work across a wide range of mechanical and automatic movements — Swiss, German, Japanese, and others. If you're unsure whether we can handle a particular calibre, contact us and we'll let you know honestly whether it falls within our scope.
What happens if parts are needed?
Worn or damaged parts are identified during inspection and documented in the condition note. We discuss what needs to be replaced and provide a cost estimate before ordering anything. Work on that aspect only continues with your agreement.
Can you restore a watch that has sentimental value but isn't expensive?
Yes. A watch doesn't need a well-known name to receive careful work. Many of the pieces we look after are of personal rather than collector significance. If the watch matters to you, that's a reasonable basis for bringing it in.
Do you work on quartz or battery-powered watches?
Our main focus is mechanical and automatic movements. Simple battery replacements can sometimes be handled, but for quartz module repair or replacement we may refer you to a more suitable workshop depending on the piece.
How is pricing structured?
Service prices are listed on our Solutions page and represent the base rate for standard work. Costs for additional parts or unexpected complications are discussed and agreed before any extra charges apply. There are no hidden costs.
