5. Operating Instructions
The DUKWIN Watch Winder offers four distinct rotation modes to accommodate various automatic watch specifications. Each pair of winding slots is controlled by a dedicated knob.

Each control knob manages two winding slots. Rotate the knob to select one of the following modes:
- Mode 1: Rotates clockwise for 2 minutes, rests for 6 minutes, then repeats the cycle.
- Mode 2: Rotates counter-clockwise for 2 minutes, rests for 6 minutes, then repeats the cycle.
- Mode 3: Rotates clockwise for 2 minutes, rests for 6 minutes, then rotates counter-clockwise for 2 minutes, rests for 6 minutes, and repeats the cycle.
- Mode 4: Rotates clockwise for 5 minutes, then counter-clockwise for 5 minutes, repeating this sequence for 3 hours, followed by a 9-hour rest period, then the cycle repeats.
Consult your watch manufacturer's recommendations for the optimal winding direction and Turns Per Day (TPD) to select the appropriate mode.
