Bua Luang offers unhurried, thorough care for mechanical watches — from routine servicing to the patient restoration of heirlooms and antiques in the heart of Bangkok.
Each service is carried out at its own pace. We walk through the work with you beforehand, and keep you informed as we proceed.
A thorough service for mechanical watches — dismantled, cleaned, re-lubricated, and regulated. Recommended for watches that have not been serviced in several years or that have begun to keep poor time.
Refreshes the parts of a watch the owner touches most. New strap fitting, bracelet attention, and considerate case finishing — chosen finishes and parts agreed with you beforehand.
An attentive restoration for antique wrist and pocket watches — movement repair, conservation of original detail, and hand-made scarce parts where needed. For heirlooms and collectible pieces.
Every watch receives a careful look before any work begins. We share our findings plainly, answer questions, and proceed only when the owner is comfortable with the plan.
Fine mechanical work cannot be rushed. We set realistic timelines, keep the owner gently informed of progress, and take the time each piece deserves.
We take on a considered number of watches at any time. This means each piece receives full attention, not a place in a long queue where it risks being overlooked.
Original dials, cases, and movements hold a watch's character. We work to conserve rather than replace, particularly for antique and collectible pieces.
You receive a clear written account of the work carried out — useful for your own records and for any future watchmaker who works on the piece.
Questions are welcomed at any stage. If something unexpected arises during the work, we pause, explain, and wait for your direction before continuing.
Bring it in or get in touch. We are glad to hear about it, offer an initial opinion at no obligation, and discuss what the work might involve.
A mechanical watch generally benefits from attention every four to six years, even if it appears to be running well. If yours is losing or gaining more than a minute or two per day, or if it has not been serviced since before 2019, it is worth bringing in. We are happy to take a look and let you know our honest assessment before committing to any work.
For most standard mechanical movements, we expect to complete the work within two to four weeks. Complicated calibres or movements in poor condition may take a little longer. We keep you informed of progress throughout, so you are never left wondering where things stand.
Our focus is mechanical and automatic movements, where our skills are deepest. For battery-powered watches we are glad to advise, but we may suggest a more suitable workshop if servicing the quartz module is the main requirement. The strap, bracelet, and case care service is open to all watch types.
For antique pieces where original parts are no longer available, we are able to make certain components by hand. Whether that is the right approach depends on the watch, its age, and what you hope for it. We discuss this openly during the initial assessment, and no work of that kind proceeds without your agreement and a clear price estimate.
We pause, photograph what we have found, and contact you with a plain description of the situation and the options available. Nothing beyond what was agreed proceeds until you give your approval. Your watch, your decision.
