§ 03 — Why This Workshop

Documented work. Plain answers. No assumptions.

Every job has a written entry

Work is recorded before anything is opened and retained on file. You can request the entry at any point. Future visits reference the same record.

Magnified inspection as standard

Movement condition is assessed under adequate magnification before a price is named. What is found informs the quote — not the other way around.

Rate measured, not estimated

Amplitude, beat error and rate are read from a timing machine and noted. Clients receive the figure, not a vague assurance that the watch runs well.

Parts provenance recorded

Whether a component is original, generic or reconditioned, the ledger entry says so plainly. Nothing is substituted without your knowledge and agreement.

Fixed pricing, agreed in writing

Timeframes and costs are agreed before any work begins. Restoration projects carry the option to stop at the assessment stage at no further charge.

Honest water resistance ratings

Where a case cannot be restored to its original rating, clients are told plainly. Test results are recorded as measured figures, not marketing language.

§ 04 — Open an Enquiry

Not sure what your watch needs?

The cleaning, inspection and ledger entry at RM 140 is a natural starting point. It produces a written record of condition before any repair decision is made, and there is no obligation to proceed further.

§ 05 — Common Questions

Frequently Asked

How long does antique watch restoration take?
Restoration of antique and pocket watch movements runs from six weeks upward depending on what the assessment uncovers. A written timeframe is agreed before any movement is opened. You also have the option to end at the assessment stage if the scope turns out larger than expected.
What does the ledger entry include?
The ledger entry records the date of receipt, the condition of the case and movement as found, the rate measured on the timing machine, and a note of any parts replaced with their provenance. The entry is kept on file and can be referenced for any future visit.
Can my watch be brought back to its original water resistance rating?
In many cases, yes — full gasket renewal and thread inspection restore the case to its designed rating. Where the case threads or tube seats have worn beyond serviceability, we will say so plainly rather than claim a result the test cannot support. Results are recorded as measured figures.
Do you use original manufacturer parts?
Where original parts are available and practical, they are used. Where they are not, the entry records whether a replacement is generic or reconditioned. For antique movements, some parts are made by hand — this is noted in the ledger with the reason for the approach.
What is the typical cost for a basic inspection?
The cleaning, inspection and ledger entry service is fixed at RM 140. This covers external cleaning, movement inspection under magnification, timing machine measurement, and a written entry kept on file. There is no further charge if you decide not to proceed with any additional work.
How do I send a watch in for service?
You may visit the workshop at 9 Jalan Sultan Idris Shah, Ipoh during opening hours, or contact us first using the form below to arrange a suitable time. We ask that watches be brought in person where possible so that an initial visual check can be done at the counter before a service entry is opened.
