What We Offer

Three ways we can help your watch

Each service begins with a quiet conversation about your timepiece — what it means to you, and what it needs.

Complete Movement Overhaul

Why Wela Atelier

Small workshop, serious craft

Hands-on by the watchmaker

Your watch is handled by the same person from intake to handback — no assembly line, no delegation to an apprentice for the careful parts.

Work agreed in writing

Before anything is disassembled, you receive a clear written description of what will be done — and the cost. No surprises when you collect.

Respect for originality

We discuss with you whether to preserve an honest patina or restore closer to original condition. The watch is yours; the decision is yours too.

Honest turnaround times

We give realistic timelines — not the shortest number we can say with a straight face. Quality bench work takes the time it takes.

Ultrasonic cleaning as standard

Every movement overhaul includes professional ultrasonic cleaning — removing decades of oil residue and fine debris from all components before reassembly.

Convenient Bangkok location

Our workshop on Charoen Krung Road — long associated with Bangkok's artisan trades — is easy to reach by BTS and riverboat from across the city.

Questions & Answers

Things people often ask us

How long does a movement overhaul typically take?
For most modern and vintage mechanical watches, a complete overhaul takes two to four weeks. More complex or unusual movements — calibres with complications, or those needing parts sourced — may take longer. We give you a realistic estimate at the time of assessment.
Do you service quartz watches?
Our focus is entirely on mechanical and automatic movements. Quartz watches have their own service requirements that we don't currently cover — we'd rather be honest about where our expertise lies than take on work we wouldn't do justice to.
Can I bring in a watch I inherited that hasn't run in years?
Yes, and these are often the most satisfying projects. A watch that has sat dormant for a long time usually just needs a thorough service. We'll assess it first and tell you honestly what the work involves and whether it makes sense for the piece.
What does the assessment process look like?
You bring the watch in, or arrange to send it, and we examine it without disassembly first. We then write up what we find, what work we'd recommend, and the cost. Nothing proceeds without your agreement.
Do you work on pocket watches as well as wristwatches?
Pocket watches are very welcome. They often require more time because parts can be harder to source, but the work itself is something we approach with genuine interest. Our antique and vintage restoration service covers both.
What happens if a part needs to be made?
For watches where original parts are no longer available, we can fabricate components by hand. This is part of the antique and vintage restoration service. We'll discuss the details with you and explain what's involved before the work begins.
