Pro Tips for Your Winder
TPD Adjustment
If your winder doesn't support 650 TPD exactly, choose the nearest lower setting. Over-winding is worse than under-winding.
Rest Periods
Program 8-10 hours of rest per day. This mimics natural wear patterns and reduces stress on the movement.
Direction Matters
This movement winds in Bidirectional direction only. Using the wrong direction won't damage it, but won't wind it either.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if TPD is too high?
Excessive TPD can cause unnecessary wear on the winding mechanism. Most modern movements have a slip clutch that prevents over-winding, but it's still best to use the recommended setting.
Can I leave my watch in the winder 24/7?
While modern winders with proper settings are safe for continuous use, many collectors prefer to give their watches rest periods. It's a personal choice, not a mechanical necessity.
What if my winder has different settings?
Many winders use preset ranges (e.g., 650, 800, 1000 TPD). Choose the closest setting without exceeding the recommended value. When in doubt, go lower.
