At Thong Atelier, every timepiece is handled with steady hands and a considered eye. We work at the pace your watch deserves — no hurrying, no shortcuts.
Our Services
Three Considered Paths of Care
Each service is shaped around the watch and its owner's wishes. We take time to understand what the piece needs before recommending any course of action.
Gentle Assessment & Servicing
A calm starting point for caring owners. The movement is examined under magnification, the rate recorded, and seals, crown, and crystal reviewed. Cleaning and fresh lubrication are included where appropriate.

Questions
Some Things People Often Ask
What kinds of watches do you work on?
We focus on mechanical and automatic timepieces from established Swiss, Japanese, and European makers — from everyday wearers to vintage and collectible pieces. We do not service quartz battery watches or smart watches.
How long does a service take?
Assessment and servicing typically takes 2–3 weeks. Movement repair may take 4–6 weeks depending on parts availability. Restoration work for vintage pieces can require 8–12 weeks. We will give you a realistic estimate when we assess your watch.
Will you polish or refinish my watch without asking?
Never. We discuss the condition of the case and bracelet with you before touching the surfaces. Many collectors prefer to preserve original finishing, and we share that view. Any cosmetic work is optional and decided by you.
Can you source original spare parts?
We work patiently to locate correct components — either original manufacturer parts or high-quality matched alternatives for older movements where originals are scarce. We will always explain what we are using and why.
What does the assessment include?
The assessment covers rate testing, visual inspection under magnification, review of the crown, crystal, and seals, and a written summary of findings. If the watch needs further work, we outline our recommendations — and leave the decision entirely with you.
How do I arrange to bring in my watch?
