Our Services

Three services. Each one clearly explained.

From a quick care visit to a multi-stage vintage restoration — mainspringed offers three distinct services to cover the most common needs of watch owners in Hua Hin.

How we work

The mainspringed approach

Every service, regardless of scope or price, follows the same foundational method: assess honestly, communicate clearly, work carefully, and document everything.

01

Initial assessment

We examine the piece, discuss what you have noticed, and provide an honest view of what it needs before any decision is made.

02

Written intake record

A condition record is made at drop-off. You receive a copy. This documents the state of the piece before we begin.

03

Work with communication

If something unexpected is found during work, we contact you before proceeding. Nothing significant is done without your knowledge.

04

Completion summary

Every piece collected comes with a written summary of what was done, any parts used, and notes on anything to watch for.

Shared standards

What every service includes

Written documentation

Intake record at drop-off, completion summary at collection. Both are plain English — not jargon.

Secure workshop storage

Watches not under active work are kept in a locked cabinet. Access is limited to the watchmaker and assistant.

Communication before changes

If scope changes during work — parts unavailable, unexpected damage found — we stop and contact you before proceeding.

Pressure-tested seals

Any watch that passes through the workshop with water-resistance claims is pressure-tested before being returned.

BHI-certified watchmaker

Work is undertaken by a watchmaker holding British Horological Institute certification — a recognised professional standard.

No hidden costs

Standard service prices are posted. Restoration work is estimated in writing before it begins. The price you agree to is the price you pay.
