The Swiss watch brand Boegli also focuses on acoustics on the wrist, albeit in a slightly different way: With its musical watches, the company keeps a centuries-old tradition alive. The appeal undoubtedly lies in the interplay of sounds and mechanics, which not appeals to audiophiles and tech enthusiasts alike. In fact, the first musical watches were made well over 200 years ago, although this rare craft is becoming increasingly rare today.
Most BOEGLI watch self-winding movements can be wound properly by most watch winders. Usually BOEGLI's self-winding movements need to rotate 650 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.
Definitions:
- 《CW》 - Clockwise winding direction;
- 《CCW》 - Counterclockwise winding direction;
- 《Both》 - Combined mode (Clockwise + Counterclockwise);

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