Best Watch Winder for Roger Dubuis | Tempus
Founded in Geneva in 1995 by Roger Dubuis and Carlos Dias, the brand set out to prove provocative design and haute horlogerie could coexist. The Excalibur line, all bearing the Poinçon de Genève, remains its signature.
If you own one — or several — keeping them on a watch winder means they are always wound, accurate and ready to wear. But Roger Dubuis movements have their own preferences for turns per day and winding direction, and matching them matters.

What to Look for in a Winder for Roger Dubuis
A winder with programmable TPD and all three winding directions covers every Roger Dubuis reference in the table. If you rotate several pieces, a multi-watch unit keeps the whole rotation ready.
Beyond the numbers, the fundamentals still apply: whisper-quiet operation so the winder can live in a bedroom, a secure holder that grips without marking the bracelet, and a rotation pattern that suits daily wear. Every Tempus winder is built around these, with programmable TPD, three winding directions and a 3-year warranty as standard.

Why Roger Dubuis Owners Bother With a Winder
A Roger Dubuis with a date complication needs resetting every time it stops — a small chore that grates when repeated daily. A winder eliminates it: the watch never stops, so it is always accurate and ready. For collectors rotating several pieces, that convenience compounds across the whole box.
Single vs Multi-Watch for Roger Dubuis
One Roger Dubuis worn daily and a second in reserve? A single or double winder does the job. But collections grow — and a 4- or 6-watch unit means one power supply, one footprint, and every watch ticking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Roger Dubuis watches need a watch winder?
No automatic watch needs a winder — but without one, your Roger Dubuis will run down after a couple of days off the wrist, and you will be resetting the time and date. A winder keeps it ready to grab and go.
What happens if the TPD setting is wrong?
Nothing dramatic. Modern automatics have a slipping mainspring that prevents overwinding, so an incorrect setting cannot damage the movement — the watch simply may not stay fully wound. Use the table above as your starting point.
Can Tempus winders handle Roger Dubuis's winding direction?
Yes. Tempus winders offer clockwise, counter-clockwise and bidirectional modes, covering every Roger Dubuis reference listed here.
What warranty do Tempus winders carry?
Every Tempus watch winder includes a 3-year warranty. Tempus can also repair any Tempus-brand winder even after the warranty period has ended.
For model-specific settings, see our TPD settings guide.
What TPD setting does a Roger Dubuis Roger Dubuis Automatic need?
The Roger Dubuis Roger Dubuis Automatic needs 800 TPD, clockwise. Set your Tempus winder to match and it will stay perfectly wound and ready to wear.
Do Roger Dubuis watches need a watch winder?
No automatic watch strictly needs a winder, but without one your Roger Dubuis will run down after a day or two off the wrist — meaning resetting the time and date. A winder keeps it ready to grab and go.
Can I wind multiple Roger Dubuis models together?
Often, yes — many Roger Dubuis references share the same TPD and direction, so they can share a multi-watch winder. Check the table above, and our TPD database for your exact references.
Will a winder damage my Roger Dubuis watch?
No. Modern automatic movements have a slipping mainspring that prevents overwinding, so a quality winder cannot damage your Roger Dubuis. Tempus winders use quiet Japanese and German motors and carry a 3-year warranty.
What's the best Tempus winder for Roger Dubuis?
For one or two watches, a single or double Tempus winder is ideal. For a growing collection, a 4, 6 or 8-watch unit with independent rotor settings covers every Roger Dubuis reference — and any other brands you own.
