How often should you wind an IWC watch?
For a manual wind watch, it’s a good habit to consistently wind it at the same time each day. I try to do so early in the morning as I dress for the day. For 7 or 8-day movements, I recently learned an expression: “Sunday is wind-day”.

Which way do I wind IWC?
Please note that in order to wind the mainspring of timepieces containing an IWC-manufactured movement from the 82000-calibre family, the crown must be turned anti-clockwise.
How do you know if a watch is fully wound?
Most watches will reach maximum power by winding the crown 30 to 40 times but this can vary. The minute you feel resistance, the watch is fully wound. If your watch is new and you’re feeling unsure, aim to wind the crown 30 times to start with and work your way up from there.
