Watch Repair & Restoration · Sukhothai
Every watch
deserves
patient care
Khwan Dial offers considered service for hand-wound, automatic, and antique timepieces — with honest assessments and no unnecessary pressure.
What We Offer
Three ways we can help
Watch Service & Regulation
A dependable service for hand-wound and automatic watches, covering a full clean of the movement, fresh lubrication, and careful regulation so the watch keeps steady time. We offer an honest condition note and mention anything worth watching for the future — without pressure. Most watches are ready within a few weeks, with gentle updates along the way.
- Full movement disassembly and cleaning
- Lubrication with appropriate grade oils
- Regulation and rate testing
- Condition note included
Case Refinishing & Crystal
Gentle case refinishing combined with the replacement of a worn or damaged crystal. We lift everyday marks while preserving original lines, fit a suitable crystal, and protect the dial and movement throughout. The chosen finish and any parts are agreed beforehand — we refinish only as far as the owner wishes, keeping authentic character where valued.
- Case and bracelet polishing or brushing
- Crystal selection and fitting
- Dial and movement protection
- Finish agreed with owner beforehand
Antique Restoration & Conservation
A respectful restoration for antique watches, balancing repair with conservation so age and authenticity are preserved. Work may include hand-fabricating scarce parts, treating corrosion, conserving original dials, and returning the movement to reliable operation. Each project begins with a careful, unhurried assessment and a written explanation of the options.
- Written assessment before any work
- Hand-fabrication of unavailable parts
- Dial and corrosion conservation
- Timeline suited to delicate work
Why Khwan Dial
A workshop built on considered craft
Specialist Watchmaking Skills
Hands trained specifically in mechanical movements, from pocket watches to modern automatics. Each repair handled with appropriate tools and techniques.
Honest Written Assessments
Before any work begins on complex or antique pieces, we share a written explanation of what we find and what the options are — you decide at your own pace.
Respect for Originality
We refinish only as far as the owner chooses. For antique pieces especially, preserving character and original details matters as much as functional repair.
Steady, Unhurried Work
Timelines reflect the nature of each job, not a rushed schedule. Delicate restorations receive the time they need, with updates provided along the way.
Clear Communication
Regular, plain-language updates so you always know where things stand. No unexplained delays and no surprises when you collect your watch.
Transparent Pricing
Prices are published clearly, and any variation from the standard rate is discussed and agreed before work proceeds — no unexpected additions at collection.

Questions
Things people usually ask
How long does a standard watch service take?
Most routine services for hand-wound and automatic watches are completed within three to four weeks. We'll give you an estimate when we look at the piece, and we'll let you know if anything we discover along the way changes the timeline.
Do you work on watches from any brand or era?
We work on a wide range of mechanical timepieces — Swiss, Japanese, and domestic movements, from the late 19th century to the present day. If a piece falls outside our scope, we'll say so clearly at assessment and suggest where it might be better handled.
What does the antique restoration process look like?
It begins with an unhurried assessment of the piece. We then prepare a written note covering what we find, what we'd recommend, and any parts that may need to be fabricated. You read through at your own pace and approve the scope before any work begins. Throughout, we update you at key stages.
Can I keep the original finish on my watch case?
Yes, and we often recommend it for older pieces. Many collectors and owners prefer to keep signs of wear that contribute to the watch's character. We discuss the options with you before refinishing anything, and we only go as far as you decide.
How are your prices structured?
Our three services have published starting prices: Watch Service at ฿4,500, Case Refinishing at ฿8,200, and Antique Restoration at ฿14,900. If a particular piece requires additional work beyond the standard scope, we discuss the cost with you first — nothing is added without your agreement.
Is my watch safe while it is with you?
Pieces in our care are kept securely at the workshop. We log each item at intake with photographs and a description of its condition, so there is a clear record from the moment it arrives until you collect it.
