Do I need a watch winder?
- If you own multiple mechanical watches, a winder can save you a lot of time and effort you would spend on their maintenance.
- If you own only one watch, but do not wear it every day, a watch winder frees you from having to wind it manually.
- Your watch will be safely stored in a stylish case and always ready for wear.
How do I choose a watch winder?
Number of watches
There are models with 1, 2, 3, 6 and more wind-up slots, so choose a winder with respect to how many watches you have.
Noise
The winder’s operation should not disturb you while doing any other activities in the same room. Make sure to choose a winder with a good motor and made by a quality manufacturer (such as Mabuchi).
Functions and programs
Some models have multiple winding directions to choose from (clockwise, counterclockwise, both). Most models allow you to choose from several turns-per-day programs.
Power adapter options
Some models can be powered by both batteries and the mains. The battery option is handy if you do not have an electrical outlet nearby or on the road.
Case design
You can find models with a transparent window or colour LED backlight. There is also a wide variety of materials and colours to choose from, so you can match the winder to your home interior or simply your personal taste.
