Since 1785 DuBois et fils is constructing and building high quality timepieces. A completely new collection of Swiss Made watches follow the idea of quality the founders of DuBois et fils have established: Premium including all details, precise and elegant. DuBois et fils has picked up this zeitgeist and made it into the branding theme – Nomads of Time. Highest quality, exclusivity and authenticity are the characteristics of this lifestyle and is what each limited watch model by DuBois et fils stands for, all over the world.
Most DuBois et fils watch self-winding movements can be wound properly by most watch winders. Usually DuBois et fils’ 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 DuBois et fils. 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 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.
