Movement Overhaul

A complete service for movements that have become unreliable or noticeably off-time. Everything is disassembled, cleaned in an ultrasonic bath, freshly lubricated, and reassembled with care.

Sentimental piece restoration

Service 03

Sentimental Piece Restoration

A careful, end-to-end restoration for watches that carry real meaning — a parent's dress watch, a graduation gift, a family heirloom. Movement is overhauled, case and dial restored in keeping with their original character. Each choice is discussed with you; nothing is changed without your wish. Photographs mark every stage. Five to eight weeks.

  • Full movement overhaul included
  • Case and dial restoration faithful to original
  • Step-by-step photographs provided
  • Every decision made together with you
  • Written care notes on completion

Why Rattana

What sets our work apart

Patient, hands-on work

We do not rush. Each watch receives unhurried attention, and we will always tell you if a timeline needs more time to be done properly.

Open conversation

Nothing is done to your watch without explanation and agreement. We lay out options and costs before any work begins, then keep you informed along the way.

Original character respected

Restoration means preserving what was there, not polishing it away. We take our cues from the watch's own history.

Thorough documentation

For restoration work, photographs are taken at each significant stage so you have a record of the journey your piece has been on.

Local and accessible

Our workshop on Thalang Road is easy to find. You are welcome to come in, ask questions, and see the space before leaving anything with us.

Realistic timelines

We give honest estimates and hold to them. If something changes, you will hear from us promptly — not after the fact.

Ready when you are

Have a watch that needs attention?

Reach out at any time. We are glad to discuss what your watch might need before you commit to anything.

Questions

Common questions

How do I know which service my watch needs?
You are welcome to bring the watch in for an informal look at no charge. After a quick examination we can suggest which path makes the most sense — and you are never under any obligation to proceed.
Do you work on all watch brands and types?
We work with a wide range of mechanical and automatic watches — vintage dress watches, mid-century pieces, and everyday wearers. If you have a particularly complex movement or a piece that is outside our scope, we will tell you honestly at intake rather than attempt something we cannot do well.
How long does servicing take?
A light service is usually around one week. A full movement overhaul takes roughly three weeks. Sentimental piece restorations are quoted at five to eight weeks, depending on the condition of the watch and any parts that may need sourcing. We will give you a realistic estimate at the start.
Will you tell me the cost before starting any work?
Yes, always. After the initial assessment we provide a clear cost outline. Work only begins once you have agreed. If anything unexpected comes up during servicing, we stop and discuss it with you before continuing.
Is my watch safe while it is with you?
Watches in our care are stored securely and handled only by workshop staff. We log every piece in detail at intake — brand, model, serial reference, visible condition — so there is a clear record from the moment it arrives.
Can I send a watch in by post or courier?
We prefer in-person drop-off where possible so we can discuss the piece with you directly. If you are based outside Phuket or cannot come in person, please contact us first and we will advise on the safest way to arrange delivery and return.
Do you offer any aftercare once the watch is returned?
On return, we walk you through what was done and give you straightforward guidance on keeping the watch in good condition. If you notice anything that concerns you in the weeks that follow, you are welcome to bring it back for a look.
