Revue Thommen is one of the oldest Swiss watch brands and its watchmaking masters continue to produce manufacture movements. This is why Revue Thommen has always been worthy of the term “manufacture”. Through its long history, over 100 different GT movements have been produced, each one an incredible example of what this watch house has to offer.
Established in 1853, Revue Thommen has a legacy of over 160 years in the manufacturing of precision mechanical timepieces and aviation instruments. Its pioneering spirit in advanced technology and innovation gained the company its international stature. The brand once famed as "The President's Watch," given its popularity with US Presidents, has strongly influenced the region of origin, located in the north western part of Switzerland.
Most Revue Thommen watch self-winding movements can be wound properly by most watch winder boxes. Usually Revue Thommen’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 Revue Thommen. 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.
