Common Questions

How long does a diagnostic assessment take?

Most diagnostic assessments are completed within two to three business days. You will receive a written report with our findings and a clear outline of any recommended next steps, along with estimated costs for suggested work.

My watch was submerged in water — what should I do first?

Bring it to us as soon as possible. Avoid pressing any pushers or operating the crown while the watch is wet, as this can push moisture further into the movement. We recommend wrapping the watch in a dry cloth and visiting our workshop at your earliest convenience. Earlier intervention tends to preserve more components.

Do you work on all watch brands?

We service a wide range of mechanical and quartz movements from Swiss, Japanese, and other manufacturers. For highly specialized calibers, we will let you know during the diagnostic phase if the work falls outside our capability and can recommend appropriate specialists.

What does vintage preservation involve?

Vintage preservation differs from standard restoration in that it prioritizes the originality of your piece. We use reversible techniques and period-correct materials wherever possible. Each project begins with a discussion about your preservation goals, so we tailor the approach to match the piece's historical significance and your personal wishes.

How do I get a cost estimate before committing?

Our Diagnostic Assessment service is designed for exactly that purpose. For 8,500,000 ₫, we thoroughly inspect your watch and provide a detailed report with estimated costs for any recommended work. No further work is carried out without your explicit approval.

Is there a quiet period to visit the workshop?

Walk-ins are welcome during our operating hours. Mornings on weekdays tend to be less busy, which can give us more time for an initial conversation about your timepiece. You are also welcome to call or send a message ahead of your visit.
