For the owner of a high-complication timepiece, such as a perpetual calendar, annual calendar, or moonphase, there is no greater inconvenience than letting it stop. The process of resetting the intricate displays of the day, date, month, and leap year is not just time-consuming—it can be a stressful ordeal with a real risk of damaging the delicate movement.
This is why, for these horological masterpieces, a quality watch winder is not a luxury; it is an absolute necessity. This guide will explain the optimal Turns Per Day (TPD) and winding settings to keep your high-complication watch running perfectly.
A perpetual calendar is a miniature mechanical computer that knows the exact date, automatically accounting for the different lengths of the months and even leap years. Letting it stop means you have to manually advance each of these indications, often using tiny, recessed pushers and a special stylus. One slip can lead to a costly scratch on the case, and incorrect setting can damage the movement.
A watch winder completely eliminates this risk. By keeping the watch's mainspring consistently wound, it ensures the complex mechanism never stops running, saving you time and protecting your investment.
The good news is that most automatic movements from high-end brands are incredibly efficient. They are designed to be wound with minimal motion. For the vast majority of perpetual calendars and other complicated watches from premier watchmakers, a universal setting will suffice.
This range is the sweet spot. It’s enough to keep the power reserve topped up without putting any unnecessary strain on the winding mechanism.
While the general rule applies, here are the specific recommendations for some of the most renowned makers of perpetual calendars:
Patek Philippe: Known for their ultra-efficient micro-rotor movements, Patek Philippe perpetual calendars are perfectly maintained at 650 TPD, Bidirectional. You can find more details in our Patek Philippe TPD guide.
Vacheron Constantin: As one of the holy trinity of watchmaking, Vacheron's movements are similarly refined. A setting of 650 TPD, Bidirectional is ideal for most of their perpetual calendars. See our Vacheron Constantin TPD guide for more.
Audemars Piguet: The iconic Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar and other complicated models run beautifully at a slightly higher rate. The recommended setting is 800 TPD, Bidirectional. Our Audemars Piguet TPD guide has more information.
A collection that includes high-complication watches requires a winder with precision and flexibility. A Driklux watch winder offers independent rotor control, allowing you to set the exact TPD and direction for each of your timepieces. The ultra-quiet motors and impeccable build quality ensure your watches are cared for in an environment that matches their own level of craftsmanship.
For the ultimate protection, housing your collection in a watch winder safe provides both security and peace of mind.
A watch winder is the single most important accessory for the owner of a perpetual calendar or other high-complication watch. It transforms the ownership experience from one of potential stress to one of pure enjoyment. By using the correct settings, you ensure your horological work of art is always running, always accurate, and always ready to be worn.
