Can someone give me a mini primer on what all this means. A quick google search didn’t help. And why so many different types of settings?simmo140 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 26, 2021 11:53 am The Watch Winder Smith version of this is £190 on Amazon. I got this Klarstein one on Ebay for £115!!

Re: not a wind-up
TPD = turns per day.
Not all watches have the same requirements. Some need more turns to keep them wound, some only wind in one direction and on others the winding is bi-directional.

Re: not a wind-up
Am I the only one thinking that the TPD settings are quite high on the Klarstein and Smith units mentioned here?

Re: not a wind-up
You're not Kip.
I was thinking, without reference to the CWArchive info, that a typical amount is c. 650 TPD.

PS> ETA 2824-2 / SW200-1 is 650 TPD/either direction.
