How to wind a Dubois Dépraz watch with watch winder

8 Dec 2022

Dubois Dépraz is a Swiss ebauche movement and complication manufacturer. The company was founded in 1901 and has a long watchmaking history.

Dubois Dépraz is located in Le Lieu, near the headquarters of companies such as Jaeger-LeCoultre, Audemars Piguet, Blancpain, Breguet, and ETA/Valjoux. Today it is a specialist in complicated cadratures such as perpetual calendars and chronographs for wristwatches.

Most Dubois Dépraz watch self-winding movements can be wound properly by most watch winder boxes. Usually Dubois Dépraz’s self-winding movements need to rotate 650 - 800 revolutions per day, and most of them can be wound clockwise. So please take some time and like to choose a cute clockwork that suits you and your watch.

Definitions:

  • 《CW》 - Clockwise winding direction;
  • 《CCW》 - Counterclockwise winding direction;
  • 《Both》 - Combined mode (Clockwise + Counterclockwise);

If you could not find your watch model (or caliber) in this table, you may determine your Dubois Dépraz. winding mode on a trial basis. You should select the combined winding mode (CW+CCW) and the minimal number of turns per day (TPD). Then place your watch into the watch winder and check after a few days how accurate your watch shows the time. If it runs behind, it is necessary to increase the number of TPD by one step.
