Chiang Mai · Est. 2009
Temperidas is a small workshop on Nimmanhaemin Road. We work on quartz and mechanical pieces, giving each watch the time and attention it deserves.
— What We Do —
Each visit to the bench follows a careful process. We take time with every piece — no rush, no shortcuts.
Quartz Service
Battery replacement with contact cleaning and fresh case seals, followed by a basic water-resistance check. A straightforward visit for everyday quartz watches. Turnaround is usually same day for standard models.
Case Work
Hand refinishing of cases and metal bracelets to revive brushed and polished surfaces, with re-sizing and pin replacement as needed. Each piece is matched to its original finish lines so the character of the watch is preserved.
Full Overhaul
A full bench overhaul of a more complex movement — chronograph or calendar work included where present — with detailed measurement before and after. Includes a documented condition record and a careful break-in observation period.
— Temperidas Workshop —
Bring it to the bench. We'll have a quiet look, tell you what we find, and let you decide what comes next — at your own pace.
— Why Temperidas —
We look at your watch and explain what we find before any work begins. You know the scope and price before a single tool is picked up.
No production queue. Each piece sits on one bench, with one person. The work moves when it's ready to move, not to meet an arbitrary deadline.
For overhauls we record measurements before and after. You leave with a written note of what was found, what was done, and how the movement is performing.
Timegrapher readings, watchmaker's press, ultrasonic cleaner — the right instrument for each step, so nothing is forced or improvised.
Refinishing follows the original surface lines. We don't over-polish or alter proportions. The aim is a tidy, cared-for appearance, not a freshly-minted one.
The workshop is on Nimmanhaemin Road — easy to find on foot or by car. Walk-ins are welcome during opening hours; no appointment is strictly needed for a first look.
— Questions —
Walk-ins are welcome Monday through Saturday between 10:00 and 18:00. If you'd prefer to arrange a specific time, you're welcome to call or send a message in advance — we're happy to set aside a quiet slot.
For most standard quartz models we can complete the service while you wait or within the same day. If your watch has an unusual case back or requires a special seal size, we may need an extra day or two to source the right part.
The movement is taken apart completely, each component cleaned and inspected, worn parts replaced where necessary, then reassembled and lubricated to specification. We record timegrapher readings before and after, and you receive a written condition note. For chronograph or calendar complications, those are serviced within the same work order.
We work to match the original finish lines rather than impose a new look. Brushed areas stay brushed; polished areas are brought back to their original sheen. The aim is a well-kept appearance that remains consistent with how the piece left the factory.
The three services listed have fixed starting prices: ฿3,900 for a quartz battery and seal visit, ฿14,000 for case and bracelet refinishing, and ฿34,000 for a full overhaul. If any additional parts are needed — say, a worn mainspring or a damaged crystal — we'll show you the component and discuss the cost before proceeding.
Each watch left at the workshop is logged with a description and condition note at the point of drop-off. The workshop is secured outside opening hours. We treat every piece as something that matters to its owner, because that's exactly what it is.
