Three Services, One Standard of Care

Each Pelangi service is designed to address a specific need — clearly scoped, carefully priced, and carried out with documented attention to detail.

Methodology

How We Approach Each Service

Every watch that arrives at the Pelangi workshop follows the same initial path: a bench assessment, a written record of current condition, and a conversation with the owner before any tools are applied. This sequence is not negotiable — it is how we ensure that work is appropriate, proportionate, and agreed upon.

Services are delivered at the pace the work requires. Movement regulation, for instance, includes a bench observation period after adjustment. Rushing this stage would undermine the point of the exercise. Owners are informed of expected timelines at the point of booking and kept updated if anything changes.

Pre-service assessment

Condition documented in writing and photography before work begins.

Owner consultation

Findings shared with the owner before any service commences.

Careful execution

Service carried out using calibrated instruments and appropriate technique.

Post-service report

Written summary and photography provided on completion.


Dial inspection under controlled lighting

Dial Inspection & Preservation

RM 1,600

  • Macro photography of dial under controlled lighting
  • Assessment of luminous material, printing, and applied indices
  • Honest evaluation of patina character and preservation value
  • Written condition report for owner's records
