Watch repair and restoration services at Thong Lanna

Three Services

The Right Service for the Right Watch

A tune-up for a watch that's drifted. A full overhaul for one that's earned it. A patient restoration for a piece with history. Each service is scoped to what is genuinely needed.

Our Methodology

How Every Service Begins

Receive & Record

The watch is examined on arrival and its condition is photographed and noted. A receipt is issued with the agreed scope.

Assess & Advise

We open the case and examine the movement. Findings are shared with the owner before any repair work begins.

Service & Measure

The agreed work is carried out and the movement is tested on the timegrapher. Results are recorded throughout.

Return & Document

The watch is returned with a written service record and before/after measurement results.

Service 1

Watch Tune-Up & Regulation

A lighter service for watches that are running but no longer keeping accurate time. We inspect the movement, adjust lubrication where needed, and regulate the rate across positions so the watch settles into a dependable rhythm.

  • Movement inspection and condition assessment
  • Selective lubrication where wear is identified
  • Multi-position rate regulation on calibrated timegrapher
  • Before and after measurement results provided
  • Short service warranty on the adjustment

  • Fresh horological lubricants throughout
  • Calibrated rate and amplitude regulation
  • Case and bracelet restored to owner specification
  • Step-by-step photographic documentation

Service 3

Pocket Watch & Antique Restoration

A patient restoration for pocket watches and older wristwatches, including movements that call for hand-finished replacement parts. Work may cover correcting wear, conserving enamel or painted dials, easing stiff trains, and rebuilding the piece to run steadily once more.

Well suited to heirlooms and collectible pieces where history is part of the value. Every restoration begins with a careful assessment and an unhurried conversation about goals, with timelines set to match the delicacy of the task.

What's Included

  • Comprehensive condition assessment and restoration consultation
  • Hand-finishing or sourcing of replacement parts as required
  • Enamel and painted dial conservation
  • Worn train correction and escapement work
  • Full movement rebuild and rate testing
  • Detailed restoration report and photographic record

Process Steps

1

Initial assessment — age, movement type, condition, and history discussed with owner

2

Restoration goals and approach agreed before work begins; quote confirmed

3

Parts sourced or hand-finished as needed; timeline updated if scope changes

4

Movement rebuilt, dial and case treated with appropriate conservation methods

5

Testing across positions; owner advised of any remaining limitations
