IWC Novecento perpetual calendar

Does anyone know the watch winder settings for this watch? Clockwise? Counter-clockwise? Bi-directional? And at how many turns per day?

Also, does anyone have a link to the IWC owner's manual for this watch?

Thanks! and Happy New Year.

Hi Richard,

I did a bit of googling and think your watch has a Caliber 3206X. Checking that in the Orbita watchwinder database I find 800 rotations clockwise.

I hope this helps, if the caliber isn't correct, please check the Orbita database for the correct one.

Kind regards and happy New Year,

Clemens

Thank you, Clemens - I'll check it out.

Interesting watch. It has a JLC based movement and it should work with every winder.

But I would NEVER put my watshes on a winder !

Because the wear increases enormously if watches always run on winders.

Similar to a car if you don´t switch off the motor into the garage :-)

I totally agree with you HEBE.
Also, avoid running a car for years and years without changing the oil :-)

Hi Richard,
There are 2 possible movements for your watch:

First image: Model 3545; years 1987-1995; Frederique Piguet based calibre 32061; 42 hour power reserve; clockwise only winding; 800 turns to fully wound.

Second image: Model 354; years 1995-2001; Jaeger leCoultre based calibre 96061; 38 hour power reserve; both direction winding; 800 turns to fully wound.
