Regulation, to the turn.

A microprocessor-governed gearbox winder. Turns per day, direction, and rest protocol — set precisely, held precisely.

The Mechanism

A gearbox, governed by firmware.

A two-stage precision gearbox with planetary reduction drives the cup. The arrangement isolates the watch from torque spikes and lets turns-per-day be set to any value across the range.

iDriveTwo-stage precision gearbox with planetary reduction
iiTurns per day650 to 1,600, set continuously across the range
iiiDirectionClockwise, counter-clockwise, or bidirectional
ivRest protocolUser-defined wind/rest cycle, hours adjustable
vControlDedicated microcontroller on a shock-mounted board
viService lifeMotor runs at fraction of rated stress; measured in decades

By Comparison

Why gearbox design matters.

	Mass-market “programmable”	Orbita Programmable
Drive	Direct-drive, single stage	Two-stage precision gearbox
TPD	Fixed presets, approximate	650–1,600, continuous
Direction	Usually one direction	CW, CCW, or bidirectional
Verification	Open-loop, no feedback	Revolution count vs elapsed time
Service life	Often replaced, not repaired	Measured in decades

Three programmable specialties.

Built on the same regulated platform, configured for specific needs — the Tourbillon in cylinder format with single-turn increments, the Futura on a two-preset HI/LO cycle, and the Voyager for travel.
