The Joker is entirely produced in Geneva, the first Swiss made watch winder among its counterpart. The watch winder has a default programme of 950 rotations in either direction per day. However, the direction and number of rotations can be modified by connecting the watch winder to the brand's software. Note that the Rolex watch winder is also made by KubiK!
