Bangkok · Charoen Krung Road
Your timepiece deserves
a patient hand.
Wela Atelier is a small workshop on Charoen Krung Road where mechanical watches are serviced and restored with care, without hurry.
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
A full service for mechanical and automatic movements — disassembled, ultrasonically cleaned, inspected, lubricated, and carefully regulated. Every step is documented.
- Ultrasonic cleaning of all parts
- Timing adjustment across positions
- Water-resistance check where applicable
- Case and bracelet clean included
Dial & Case Restoration
A considered approach to worn surfaces and faded dials. Work is agreed in advance — whether to preserve patina or return the piece closer to its original appearance.
- Brushed and polished surface refinishing
- Specialist dial cleaning or repainting
- Hand replacement and crystal fitting
- Scope agreed together before work begins
Antique & Vintage Restoration
A patient, comprehensive process for older pocket watches and vintage movements — including sourcing or hand-fabricating replacement parts. Each project begins with a written assessment.
- Hand-fabricated replacement parts
- Rust and pivot wear treatment
- Original dial conservation
- Written project assessment first
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.
