Jacques Etoile is a German owned and made brand, is well known by collectors for their Atlantis model with its Plongeur hands and 500m Fricker case. The watch company Jacques Etoile was founded on October 1, 1996 in Lörrach/Baden.
Most Jacques Etoile watch self-winding movements can be wound properly by most watch winder boxes. Usually Jacques Etoile’s self-winding movements need to rotate 650 - 900 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 Jacques Etoile. 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.
