Why Chronova

What Sets the Workshop Apart

A few things that matter when you're leaving a valued timepiece in someone else's hands.

One Watchmaker, Your Watch

The same person who assesses your piece completes it. No handoffs between staff, no communication gaps.

Written Condition Reports

Every job includes a written summary of what was found, what was done, and what to watch for — yours to keep.

Clear Timelines Upfront

Before any work starts, you'll know the expected turnaround. No open-ended waits and no surprises at collection.

Appropriate Parts, Not Substitutes

For older pieces we take time to source correct-era components rather than fitting whatever is quickest to obtain.

Honest Assessment First

If a repair would cost more than the piece is worth, we say so — and you decide how to proceed, with no pressure either way.

Easy to Reach in Nimman

We're at a well-known address on Nimmanhaemin Road — simple to drop off on the way to anywhere else in the quarter.

Common Questions

Things People Ask

How long does a typical service take? +
The Everyday Care Package is usually ready within one to two working days. A Mechanical Tune takes around five to seven days. The Heritage Overhaul — because it includes a multi-day accuracy observation and sometimes part sourcing — runs two to four weeks depending on what's found inside.
Do I need an appointment to drop off a watch? +
Walk-ins are welcome during studio hours. If you'd like to discuss a specific concern with the watchmaker before dropping anything off, booking a short slot via the contact form helps us set aside time for you properly.
Can you work on vintage pieces from less common brands? +
Yes. We regularly handle pieces from smaller Swiss, German, and Japanese manufacturers. For very rare calibres we'll confirm part availability before quoting, which is part of our initial assessment process.
Is there a charge for an initial assessment? +
For straightforward repairs, the initial look-over is included in the service cost. For heritage pieces where assessment involves partial disassembly, we discuss a small assessment fee upfront — which is applied against the final service cost if you proceed.
What information should I bring along with the watch? +
Any service papers, original box, or previous service records are helpful but not required. If you know the approximate age of the piece or have noticed a specific issue, that context speeds things along considerably.
How are the prices structured — is there any variation? +
The listed prices are our standard starting points. Occasionally a watch needs something outside the usual scope — an additional component or extra cleaning time — and in those cases we'll talk you through any adjustment before continuing.
