Archimede Watch Winder Direction and Settings
Archimede watches are made in Germany. They're produced by Ickler in Pforzheim, a city widely known for watchmaking. Although their watches are German-Made (and include that wording on the dial) Archimede does use Swiss movements. Archimede watches are owned and manufactured by the Ickler family. Known for their Pilot’s watches, which cover the gamut in terms of size and dial variation, they also make a wide range of versatile, modern sport watches, such as their wholely unique Outdoor line.
Regarded for their expert machining, matter-of-fact designs that place usability first, and prices that belie the care and precision of their manufacturing, Archimede are often defined by their quality and remarkable value.
Most Archimede watch self-winding movements can be wound properly by most watch winder boxes. Usually Archimede’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.

If you could not find your watch model (or caliber) in this table, you may determine your Archimede. 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 automatic 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.
