2003 marked the year where the core development team listened to their growing restlessness with the stagnant watch industry, which was restrained by the limits of public aesthetic senses. Sterile timekeeping mechanisms and conventional designs were well received by consumers, but the team knew that watchmaking had not fully explored its limits.
They knew that it was the time for a change, a revolution. A revolution of the visual senses, of logical clockwork, of traditions and conventions.
Based in Neuchatel, Switzerland, Azimuth began its journey to unknown universes. Taking on centuries of watchmaking technology, the creative minds behind Azimuth started crafting pieces that defied all reasoning, whilst paying homage to the highest qualities of traditional watchmaking.
An Azimuth timepiece is characterised by its adventurous spirit that is ever ready to take on navigation to different dimensions. It is a product of a unique universe that we humans cannot fully access, yet somehow, glimpses of that universe have been made known to us by our venturous ancestors. Time is captured and recorded according to that universe’s modus operandi, and presented to you in the most unconventional and visually-arresting of ways.
Most AZIMUTH watch self-winding movements can be wound properly by most watch winders. Usually AZIMUTH'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 AZIMUTH 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.
