Why Wira

Working with care, not speed


Thorough Assessment

Every piece is examined before any work begins. Clients are informed of findings and consulted before additional steps are taken — no surprises.

Appropriate Parts

We source battery cells, gaskets, and replacement parts suited to each calibre — avoiding generic substitutes that can shorten a movement's service interval.

Written Service Records

Mechanical service clients receive a written report noting the work completed and any observations worth monitoring — useful for future reference.

George Town Workshop

Located on Lebuh Pantai in the heart of George Town, Wira is reachable on foot from much of the heritage zone — straightforward to visit and easy to return to.

Clear Communication

Timelines and pricing are discussed openly. If anything changes during the service, clients are contacted before the work proceeds.

Respectful Handling

Watches — particularly those with sentimental or collector value — are treated accordingly. We do not rush work that warrants patience.

Common questions

Frequently Asked


How long does a quartz battery service take?
Most quartz battery and movement services are completed within three to five working days. If parts need to be sourced, we'll contact you with a revised estimate before proceeding.
What is involved in a mechanical movement service?
The movement is fully disassembled, components are cleaned ultrasonically, pivots and jewels are inspected, worn parts are replaced as necessary, and the movement is lubricated and regulated across positions. You receive a written report at the end of the service.
Do you work on all watch brands?
We service a wide range of quartz and mechanical watches. For very specialised or newly released calibres, part availability may affect the scope of work — this is something we'll discuss with you during the initial assessment.
Can I bring in a watch that has sentimental value rather than collector value?
Absolutely. Many of the pieces that come through the workshop are personally significant — a family heirloom, a gift, a watch worn through something meaningful. We treat all pieces with the same care regardless of market value.
What straps do you carry?
We hold a range of leather and fabric straps from local and international suppliers, in various lug widths and finishes. For metal bracelets, we work with the bracelet you bring in for sizing or repair — we do not currently stock replacement metal bracelets.
How should I contact you before visiting?
