What We Do
Three services, one workshop
Each service is scoped to what the watch actually needs. We explain what we find, and you decide how to proceed.
Movement Inspection & Report
An opening, cleaning of accessible surfaces, and a written assessment of condition — without committing to further work. Useful for inherited pieces where you want facts before decisions.
- Written condition notes included
- No obligation to proceed
- Clear options presented
Self-Winding Service
Full clean and lubrication of automatic movements, with attention to the winding rotor and reversing wheels. Power reserve and positional timekeeping checked before the watch is returned.
- Rotor and reversing wheel attention
- Multi-position timing check
- Sensible interval for daily-worn watches
Heritage Refurbishment
Multi-stage work on older watches, balancing function with the preservation of original character. Includes movement work, surface refinishing on request, and sourcing of period parts where available.
- Your approval at each stage
- Period parts sourced where possible
- Character-preserving approach
Why Mainspell
What sets this workshop apart
A few things that matter when you are handing over something you care about.
Written reports, not assumptions
Every inspection produces a written note covering what was found and what the options are. Nothing is assumed; everything is explained.
No work without your word
Particularly for older pieces, each step in a refurbishment is confirmed with you before it begins. Surprises in watchmaking tend to be expensive.
Tools matched to the movement
Different movements call for different approaches. We select tools and lubricants suited to the calibre being worked on, not a one-size method.
Local workshop, direct contact
Based in Bang Lamung, Chonburi. You deal directly with the person doing the work — there is no relay through a chain of staff.
Clear timelines, realistic estimates
A timeline is given when the watch is taken in. If something changes, you are told promptly — not left guessing when to expect it back.
Respectful handling of original parts
Where original components are still serviceable, they are kept. Replacement is discussed, not assumed, especially on watches with collector or sentimental value.
Have a watch that needs looking at?
