BLU watch winder direction and settings
BLU(Bernard Lederer Universe) is a Swiss luxury watch brand founded by Bernard Lederer, a watch maker and designer. The young German watchmaker had his own vision of time and was eager to apply the newly acquired knowledge in an exciting and innovative context. Today, Bernhard Lederer has made a name for himself with an original collection of stunning watch designs and audacious time display interpretations.
Located in the Swiss village of Colombier near the Lake of Neuchâtel, the BLU manufacture is established in a modern infrastructure of over 1400 square meters, which houses the watch component workshops, the finishing and assembly ateliers as well as shop and office facilities.
Most BLU watch self-winding movements can be wound properly by most watch winder boxes. Usually BLU’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 BLU. 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 gyro 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.
