In the year 1920 the Suisse watchmaker Jaques Beaufort founded the brand Elysee and started producing both, women’s and men’s watches. Since its acquisition in 1991 ELYSEE has continuously been producing high-quality wristwatches in the Düsseldorf headquarters. The label “Made in Germany” promises appealing designs and the finest material at an excellent price-performance ratio.
At the heart of Elysee's work is a constant motivation to do better, in the form of a company philosophy: to combine design, quality, and the desires of true watch lovers. With attractive design, fascinating technical specifications, and elegant performance, Elysee watchmaking is finessed and truly fantastic.
Most Elysee watch self-winding movements can be wound properly by most watch winders. Usually Elysee's self-winding movements need to rotate 650 to 950 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 Elysee 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 winding box 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.
