Benefits
What You Get When You Work With Horova
Transparency, documented results and unhurried attention — qualities that matter when someone else is handling a piece you have worn for years.

Six Things That Matter
Single-Technician Handling
Your watch is handled by one person throughout, from initial inspection to collection. No mid-service hand-offs.
Timing Bench Data
Every serviced movement is measured on a Witschi instrument. You receive the actual readings, not a verbal assurance.
Written Condition Records
Pre-service condition notes, work performed and post-service readings are all documented and handed to you with the watch.
Approval Before Any Extra Work
If the inspection reveals something beyond the original scope, we contact you and explain clearly before any additional work is carried out.
Planned Annual Care
The Collection Care Plan keeps multiple watches on a schedule rather than reactive repairs. Planned upkeep costs less over time than emergency fixes.
Accessible Bangkok Location
Sukhumvit Road, Khlong Toei — practical for most of the city, whether arriving by BTS, taxi or on foot from nearby hotels and offices.
Experience That Reads a Movement
A mechanical caliber communicates its condition through wear patterns, end-shake tolerances and rate behaviour on the timing bench. Understanding what you are seeing requires time at the bench. Our lead watchmaker trained in Switzerland and has been working on mechanical calibers for over a decade in Bangkok's climate, which adds its own considerations to lubrication and gasket management.
Equipment That Matches the Work
We use ultrasonic cleaning, a Witschi timing machine and optical magnification appropriate to the caliber size. Lubricants are sourced from specialist suppliers and stored correctly to maintain viscosity. The result is that a movement leaves the bench in measurably better condition than it arrived — and we can show you the data.
Kept Informed at Every Stage
We contact you when your watch is booked in, when the inspection is complete, and when it is ready for collection. If anything is found that changes the scope or the cost, you are told before work proceeds. We do not make assumptions about what you want done.
Clear Prices, No Surprises
Our service prices are stated in Thai Baht and published on the Solutions page. The Collection Care Plan spreads the cost of annual upkeep across twelve months, making ongoing care more predictable than reactive repairs billed as they occur. Parts, if required, are quoted separately and approved by you before ordering.
Watches That Leave Running Better
The purpose of a movement service is to restore accuracy and extend operating life. We measure rate before and after, so there is an objective way to assess the result. Pieces returned from a full mechanical service typically run within ±10 seconds per day, often better, depending on the caliber condition and age.

— What Sets Us Apart
Distinctive Features
Scheduled Collection Rotation
No other Bangkok atelier that we know of offers a formal annual rotation plan for small collections. We developed this specifically for owners with two to six watches who want planned upkeep rather than reactive repair.
Portable Service Documentation
Our written records are formatted to travel with the watch. Useful if you sell the piece later, make an insurance claim, or take it to another workshop and want to show what has been done and when.
Tropical Climate Servicing
Bangkok's heat and humidity accelerate lubricant degradation. We take this into account when selecting lubricants and recommending service intervals — something generic pricing tables do not address.
No Work Without Approval
If the inspection finds something not covered by the initial booking, we stop and contact you. The watch is not touched further until you have confirmed you want the additional work done and at what cost.
