Hermes watch winder direction and settings
Established in 1912, the Hermes is one of the longstanding watch brands that has ever existed. Hermes is not only known for its amazing collection of watches but is also a specialist in producing lifestyle accessories, perfumes, home furnishings as well as jewelry. Along with an elegant touch, the Hermes watches are well crafted and designed to fit as one's daily watch.
Hermes started producing watches as far back as 1928, outsourcing parts and piecing them together for much of that time. In 2006, Hermes started making its own movements.
Most Hermes watch self-winding movements can be wound properly by most watch winder boxes. Usually Hermes’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 Hermes. 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.
