How to wind a Nouvelle Horologie Calabrese watch?

About Nouvelle Horlogerie Calabrese

As one of the founders of the AHCI Association, Calabrese has never received any formal watchmaking training, but is self-taught. He has learned all aspects of knowledge and skills needed to make a watch by himself. In his 40-year watchmaking career, the first watch he made the most was the Golden Bridge, which linearly arranged the movement, wheel train escapement, barrel and other parts on the Golden Bridge splint (top left Figure, the upper right picture is a privately customized S-shaped Golden Bridge watch), as a successful innovation, it has a profound impact on contemporary movement design, and it is precisely because of this watch that he established the AHCI Association. Afterwards, he cooperated with Frédéric Piguet (now the Blancpain movement factory) and produced BLANCPAIN's first 8-day power floating tourbillon in 1986, which was designed with an eccentric structure and obtained a patent (the middle picture is a schematic diagram of the patent structure ). The excitement is still going on. In 2007, Calabrese reborn the ancient carrousel escapement structure, and changed the previous lack of dynamic carousel to one revolution per hour to one revolution per minute. Its delicate visual experience is comparable to that of a tourbillon bottom left). In 2004, he officially established his own brand NHC (Nouvelle Horlogerie Calabrese), relaunching his past works. Even at this age, when he should take care of himself, Calabrese's creativity remains undiminished, and he made ten special watches last year. At the same time, he also helped Jean Kazès, a friend of thirty years, manage the daily operation of wall clock making.
