the best looking and functioning annual calendar on the market today. Since the watch is an automatic and has a five day power reserve I don't

really see the need for a winder. Enjoy your treasure and wear it often.

My first Journe. I love it. Question: The manual is very specific about not using certain types of watchwinders or exceeding a certain number of turns per day. I would like to know what winders are being used successfully with the Octa Calendrier.

I agree with you for everything but watches with full/perpetual calendars
