Built around the workbench, not the clock
Nirandon began with a simple belief: a watch deserves the same patience it took to make it.
HomeOur Story
A studio shaped by careful hands
Nirandon opened its doors in Khlong Toei with a small bench, a handful of loupes, and a conviction that Bangkok owners of mechanical watches deserved somewhere unhurried to bring their pieces. What started as a single watchmaker working through a modest queue of automatics and hand-wound timepieces has grown into a studio trusted with everything from daily-wear pieces to inherited heirlooms.
The name reflects an approach as much as a business: attention given fully, one watch at a time, without rushing a movement that has waited decades to be understood properly. We do not chase volume. We would rather spend the extra hour regulating a balance wheel correctly than send a watch home that still runs a little fast.
Today, the studio serves collectors, professionals, and families passing watches between generations. Whatever brings a timepiece to us, the same principle applies: open it carefully, understand it fully, and return it only when it is ready.

Watch repair expertise in Bangkok
Mechanical watches ask for a particular kind of attention. Gear trains, mainsprings, and escapements each carry their own history of wear, and a considered watchmaker reads that history before touching a single screw. At Nirandon, this reading comes first, followed by cleaning, lubrication, and regulation carried out with reference to manufacturer tolerances rather than shortcuts.
Owners across Khlong Toei and wider Bangkok bring pieces ranging from everyday automatics to chronographs with calendar complications. Each receives the same intake process: a workshop tag noting condition, a conversation about scope, and a realistic timeline before work begins. Restoration work follows a similar principle, favouring light, respectful refinishing over aggressive polishing that can erase a case's original lines.
For those weighing whether their watch needs a light service or a fuller overhaul, our team is glad to discuss options honestly, including cases where modest care is enough for now.
