Stepan Sarpaneva – Sarpaneva Watches is from Helsinki, Finland. Stepan was born into a family of accomplished artists and designers. Stepan was exposed at an early age to the traditions of fine craft.
Stepan Sarpaneva is a watchmaker that epitomizes a great independent spirit. He looks at watchmaking and horology as an art form. Stepan deconstructs the idea of a traditional watch into a contemporary statement of what a watch can be. I believe that if a watchmaker strives to be independent, then this calling should be about expressing their own viewpoint on horology. Stepan utilizes recognizable traditional forms and then the forms become his own.
Stepan Sarpaneva’s innovation and conceptual horology is cutting edge. The owner of the Sarpaneva watches may consider himself as a real man. The rough, but at the same time elegant, design of the watches accentuates masculinity and the unusual taste of an owner.
Most Stepan Sarpaneva watch self-winding movements can be wound properly by most watch winder boxes. Usually Stepan Sarpaneva’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.

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