How We Work

The Atelier Approach

01

Assessment

The piece is examined and the findings shared with you. Scope and cost are agreed before any work begins.

02

Service

The agreed work is carried out methodically — cleaning, replacement, lubrication, and regulation as appropriate to the service.

03

Observation

The piece is run and observed before collection — regulation results checked, timing confirmed, and any issues addressed.

04

Documentation

A written summary of work is provided for movement services — a record of what was done and any future care recommendations.

Carriage clock restoration

Service 01

Carriage Clock Restoration

RM 1,420

Considered restoration of carriage clocks across single-strike, repeating, and grande sonnerie varieties. Work covers careful movement disassembly with attention to platform escapements where present, cleaning, attention to striking trains where relevant, and reassembly with appropriate lubrication. Case work includes attention to glass panels, decorative fillets, and finish refinement. Each clock is observed on test before return.

What's Included

  • Full movement disassembly and inspection
  • Platform escapement attention
  • Striking train service (single-strike, repeating, grande sonnerie)
  • Case glass panel and fillet care
  • Finish refinement as required
  • Test observation before return
  • Written service summary

Service Window

Four to ten weeks, depending on complexity and any parts sourcing required for unusual varieties.

This Service Is Suited To

Carriage clocks that have stopped running, those with erratic striking behaviour, pieces with damaged glass panels or worn finish, and clocks not serviced in many years.

Service 02

Crystal Replacement Service

RM 810

Considered replacement of damaged or worn watch crystals across all common materials. The original crystal is measured and a compatible replacement sourced, with attention to height, profile, and any unusual case requirements. Fitting includes case clean, gasket inspection, and pressure testing where applicable to the case design. Most replacements are completed within one to two weeks. For vintage cases with non-standard profiles, sourcing may extend the timeline.

What's Included

  • Precise measurement of original crystal
  • Compatible replacement sourced to height and profile
  • All crystal materials: mineral, sapphire, acrylic
  • Case clean during fitting
  • Gasket inspection included
  • Pressure testing where case design permits
  • Vintage non-standard profiles actively sourced

Service Window

One to two weeks for standard profiles. Non-standard and vintage profiles may take longer if specialist sourcing is required — timeline communicated at intake.

This Service Is Suited To

Watches with cracked, scratched, or missing crystals — both current production and vintage pieces with non-standard case dimensions.

Service 03

Movement Service & Regulation

RM 1,340

Considered service of mechanical and automatic movements, covering disassembly, ultrasonic cleaning, inspection of pivots and jewels, replacement of worn components where suitable parts are available, fresh lubrication, and regulation across positions and temperatures. Each service includes a written summary of work performed and any recommendations for future care. Most services are completed within four to six weeks depending on parts availability.

What's Included

  • Full movement disassembly
  • Ultrasonic cleaning of components
  • Pivot and jewel inspection
  • Worn component replacement (where parts available)
  • Fresh lubrication with correct oils by component
  • Multi-position and temperature regulation
  • Written service summary and care recommendations

Service Window

Four to six weeks for most mechanical and automatic calibres. Timeline extended if unusual or hard-to-source parts are required — communicated at assessment stage.

This Service Is Suited To

Watches running inconsistently, losing or gaining significantly per day, stopping intermittently, or not serviced in more than five years. Both vintage and contemporary mechanical and automatic calibres.

Across All Services

Workshop Standards That Apply to Every Job

Assessment Before Commitment

Every piece is examined before any work begins and the findings shared before any cost is incurred. Nothing proceeds without your agreement.

Secure Handling

Pieces in the atelier are held securely throughout the service period. They are not sub-contracted or sent elsewhere without discussion.

Correct Lubricants

Lubricant selection is matched to the component — not a single general oil applied throughout. Each part type requires a specific viscosity and formulation.

Progress Communication

For longer jobs, updates are provided as the work develops — particularly if parts sourcing affects the timeline.

Collection Conversation

When you collect, the work carried out is explained — what was found, what was done, and what to monitor in the period ahead.

Post-Service Support

If a serviced piece develops an unexpected issue within a reasonable period after collection, we want to know — and will look at it without charge to assess the cause.

Transparent Pricing

Service Rates

All prices in Malaysian Ringgit (RM). Additional components or unusual sourcing discussed and agreed before proceeding.
