Why Lanna Time

The way we work

These are not points on a brochure. They are simply how we treat every watch that comes through the door.

Honest Assessment First

We look carefully before we recommend anything. You'll receive a clear picture of what your watch needs — and what it doesn't.

Handling with Respect

Family pieces and cherished watches deserve careful hands. We track and document every step to maintain trust.

Right Tools, Right Knowledge

Precision instruments and a working knowledge of mechanical movements — both quartz and mechanical — keep the work accurate.

Plain Communication

No jargon, no pressure. We explain what we find and what we plan to do in straightforward terms so you can decide with confidence.

Written Records Provided

Every service includes a written summary of work completed and care notes — useful now and for any future servicing.

A Sensible Service Interval

We'll tell you honestly when your watch should come back — not too soon, not too late. Stewardship, not a sales cycle.

Ready when you are

Your watch has been waiting
long enough

Bring it in, tell us its story, and we'll take it from there. No obligation to proceed — just a quiet look and an honest word.

Common Questions

Things people ask

How do I know if my watch needs servicing?
Signs worth noticing: the watch running noticeably fast or slow, the crown feeling stiff or loose, any moisture inside the crystal, or simply a long gap since the last service. A Service Health Check is a low-commitment way to find out where things stand.
How long does a typical repair take?
A Service Health Check is usually completed within two or three working days. Crystal and case work typically takes four to seven days. Heritage movement restoration, which requires patience and sometimes part sourcing, generally runs two to four weeks. We'll give you a realistic timeframe after the initial assessment.
Will you source original parts for older watches?
Where possible, yes. For heritage movement restoration we make every effort to source period-correct or compatible original components. If we cannot find a satisfactory part, we will tell you before proceeding rather than fitting something unsuitable.
Are there watches you cannot work on?
We focus on mechanical and automatic movements, and straightforward quartz servicing. Very complex complications or watches under active manufacturer warranty are typically better served by brand-authorised centres — we'll let you know honestly if that's the case for your piece.
What are the prices and what is included?
Service Health Check: ฿4,300 — includes a written summary and recommendations. Crystal & Case Refinishing: ฿10,200 — includes crystal work, light case care, gasket check, and gentle clean. Heritage Movement Restoration: ฿17,100 — includes full disassembly, ultrasonic cleaning, lubrication, regulation, and a detailed service record. All prices are quoted before work begins.
Is my personal information kept private?
Yes. Contact details and service records are held securely and used only for the purposes of your repair and communication with you. We do not pass your information to third parties. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.
