In Detail
Each Benefit Explained
Hands-on Workshop Expertise
The people working on your watch have spent years at the bench, not in a classroom alone. Recognising when a movement is simply dirty versus genuinely worn, or when a gasket is seated incorrectly versus simply aged — that comes from repetition and attention, not manuals.
- Over ten years of movement servicing experience
- Mechanical and automatic calibres handled regularly
- Honest assessment when a job is outside our scope
Proper Tools for Precise Work
Rate regulation is done with a dedicated timing instrument that measures the movement across dial-up, dial-down, crown-up, and crown-left positions. Pressure testing uses a calibrated device that applies the watch's rated resistance and confirms the case holds. Neither of these can be done reliably by eye.
- Multi-position timing machine for rate measurement
- Pressure testing device for water-resistant cases
- Results documented, not verbally estimated
Communication That Respects Your Time
You will be contacted if anything changes during the service. Updates are given in plain terms — what was found, what was done, what it means for the watch going forward. There is no industry jargon between us and you unless you want it.
- Contact before additional scope is added
- Plain-language explanation of all findings
- Thai and English both available
Transparent Pricing in Thai Baht
Three services, three clear prices. Gasket Refresh at ฿4,500. Timing Adjustment at ฿7,800. Full Service and Pressure Check at ฿11,900. These are not starting points for negotiation — they are the actual amounts. Parts not in standard scope will be quoted separately and agreed before ordering.
- Fixed service prices, no hidden additions
- Parts quoted and approved before ordering
- All amounts in Thai Baht, no currency ambiguity
A Watch That Leaves Better Than It Arrived
The point of any service is that the watch functions more reliably when it leaves than when it came in. For a timing job, that means a stable rate across positions, confirmed before handback. For a seal refresh, it means a case that resists everyday dust and moisture as the manufacturer intended. For a full service, it means a movement that has been thoroughly cleaned, lubricated where needed, and tested under pressure.
- Rate verified on timing instrument before collection
- Seals checked and tested where applicable
- Written record for full service work

What Sets Us Apart
Things You Will Not Find Everywhere
Service Documentation You Can Keep
Full service jobs come with a written record of what was found and what was done. This is useful if you ever sell the watch or want to track its service history over time.
Pressure Testing as Standard
Not an optional add-on. Any watch that receives seal work is pressure-tested before collection. The result is noted in the paperwork, not just verbally mentioned.
Narrow Focus, Consistent Standards
We offer three services and do them consistently. We did not expand the list to appear comprehensive. This means the standard of work on each service stays stable.
Based in Khon Kaen — No Need to Post Abroad
Sending a watch overseas for service takes time and carries risk. Escapory is in the city, open six days a week, and watches can be assessed and dropped off in person.
