Where a Watch Comes Back to Itself

pendulaf is a small workshop on Loi Kroh Road. We open movements, study what they need, and put them right — without rushing any part of the work.

What We Do

Three Services, Done Properly

Each service is handled by the same hands from intake to completion. The work is priced plainly, with no hidden additions.

Battery Replacement & Water-Resistance Check

A careful change of the quartz cell paired with a fresh gasket inspection and a basic resistance check. Includes case-back reseal, exterior wipe-down, and a short condition note. Suited to everyday quartz pieces that simply need to tick again.

Same-day to two-day turnaround
Case-back reseal included
Written condition note

฿4,400 Enquire

Mechanical Movement Full Service

A complete strip-down, cleaning, fresh lubrication, and reassembly of an automatic or hand-wound movement, followed by regulation across positions. For pieces that have not been opened in several years and have begun to run unevenly.

Full disassembly and ultrasonic clean
Multi-day timing observation
Written condition report

฿17,500 Enquire

Vintage Timepiece Restoration

A patient, end-to-end restoration of an older mechanical piece, balancing soundness with respect for original character and patina. For collectors and heirs caring for a watch of real sentimental or historical value.

Movement overhaul and sympathetic case work
Period-correct parts sourced where possible
Detailed photographic record

Why pendulaf

A Workshop Built Around the Watch

One Pair of Hands

Your watch is handled by the same person from intake through to collection. Nothing is passed between benches or rushed through.

Plain Pricing

Each service is quoted at a fixed rate before any work begins. There are no additions for difficulty or extra parts beyond what is discussed.

Unhurried Pace

Mechanical work takes the time it takes. Turnaround estimates are honest, and we do not compress the timing observation stage.

Documented Work

Restoration and full-service customers receive a written report and, where relevant, a photographic record of the movement before and after.

Patina Respected

Older pieces are not polished or buffed unless specifically requested. Character is considered part of the watch, not a defect to correct.

Central Chiang Mai

Located on Loi Kroh Road, within easy reach of the old city. Drop-off and collection by appointment avoids unnecessary waiting.

Ready to Begin

Your Watch Deserves a Careful Look

Send a brief description of the piece and what you have noticed, and we will respond with an honest assessment before you commit to anything.

Questions

Frequently Asked

How do I get my watch to you? +

Drop-off is by appointment at our workshop on Loi Kroh Road. Send a message or call ahead to arrange a time. We do not accept walk-ins without notice, as the bench needs to be prepared.

Will you service a brand I have never heard you mention? +

Most Swiss and Japanese movements are within our scope. If the piece requires factory-specific tooling or proprietary parts not available outside the brand's network, we will say so clearly at intake rather than accept work we cannot complete to a reasonable standard.

Can you give me a price before you open the watch? +

For battery replacement and standard full-service work, the price is fixed and quoted upfront. For vintage restoration, we provide an initial estimate and discuss any revisions with you before proceeding, because condition varies considerably from piece to piece.

How long will the work take? +

Battery replacement is typically same-day to two days. A full mechanical service takes two to four weeks, including the timing observation period. Vintage restoration commonly runs six to ten weeks, depending on parts sourcing. These are real estimates, not targets we compromise to meet.

What happens to the original parts you remove? +

Any replaced components — worn gaskets, old cells, degraded lubricant pads — are available for inspection at collection. We do not discard original parts until you have had the chance to see them.

Is my watch covered while it is with you? +

The workshop maintains professional liability cover. Pieces are stored securely when not on the bench. If you have particular concerns about a high-value item, please discuss them at intake so we can agree on appropriate handling.
