The right service for where your watch actually is
Not every watch needs the same level of attention. We have structured our services to match different starting points — from a quick check to a full restoration — with clear pricing at each stage.
← Back to HomeHow we approach the work
Every service at Sakda Kala starts with understanding what the watch needs — not what an upsell formula suggests. For mechanical pieces, this means listening to what the owner describes, looking at timing stability, and checking condition before making any recommendation.
Work proceeds step by step, with the owner consulted wherever choices are available. Condition is documented. Testing runs over multiple days. The result we aim for is a movement that performs steadily and honestly, with a clear record of what was done.
Assess first
Look at the watch before any work begins. Identify what is actually needed.
Consult and proceed
Discuss findings and agree on scope. No surprises, no decisions made without you.
Test and document
Run timing tests over multiple days. Produce a written condition report for your records.
Quick Care Check
A short, friendly inspection for owners who are unsure whether their watch needs attention. Covers timing, crown and seal condition, and a light external clean — finishing with honest advice on whether any further work is worthwhile. A relaxed way to get clarity without commitment.
What is included:
- Timing accuracy measurement (rate check)
- Crown condition and thread check
- Gasket and water resistance visual assessment
- Light external clean of case and crystal
- Written feedback note on condition and next steps
Process:
Drop off the watch and describe what you have noticed — any symptoms, recent history, or concerns.
Inspection and timing measurement carried out over 1–2 days.
Written note prepared: condition summary and honest recommendation on whether further work is needed.
Collect the watch, discuss the findings, and decide on next steps at your own pace.
