Watch winders are not always expensive, there are various brands that offer excellent models for less than 200 euros. In this article we give a few examples and we give some more information about the watch winder as a handy watch accessory. The enthusiast of automatic watches probably has several pieces and knows that a watch winder is a very handy but above all indispensable accessory. You don't want to leave your beloved automatic watches standing still. If you consider that your automatic watches always indicate the correct time and date and are immediately ready to wear, then winding watches in a watch winder is a “no brainer”.

Not everyone who wants to buy a watch winder has the same budget for a watch winder. However, there are differences in cheaper and more expensive watch winders. With a more expensive watch winder you will see the difference in material use, functionality and finish. In addition, the more expensive brands often pay a lot of attention to the design and appearance of the watch winder. This makes a watch winder not only functional, but it is also a nice addition to the interior. If you want to wind multiple automatic watches, you will generally also end up in the higher price ranges.

Fortunately, there is enough choice for a watch winder up to 200 euros. Within this budget you can buy a great watch winder that you can enjoy for years. If you are looking for a watch winder to wind 1 automatic watch, there is a lot of choice. The stated budget is the entry-level price level where you do not have to worry that you compromise on quality. In this article we write about the three best watch winders up to 200 euros to make your search easier. We have drawn up a few criteria that a good watch winder must meet. These are the type of motor, the finish and durability.

The Benson Compact 1.17 Carbon Fiber watch winder is the first model that we want to highlight. This model is available in different variants. The heart of this watch winder is formed by a reliable Japanese motor. The operation of the watch winder is located at the back where you can turn the watch winder clockwise, counter-clockwise or alternately via an LCD screen. In addition, you can set the number of revolutions (TPD: turns per day) via the LCD screen. You can connect the Benson Compact 1.17 Carbon Fiber watch winder to mains power, but you can also choose to place batteries in the watch winder. This allows you to place the device anywhere, for example in a safe. The design is compact and functional. The price is 169 euros. This model comes with an adapter, manual and a 2-year warranty.

The next model is the Benson Compact Single 1.WS watch winder. This watch winder comes from the latest generation of Benson Compact watch winders. This watch winder is suitable for winding one automatic watch and is made of wood. There is a chrome ring around the watch holder that gives an extra luxurious effect. The color is white which gives a nice contrast with the black inside. This model can also rotate clockwise, counter-clockwise and alternately and of course the number of revolutions per day is also adjustable. The Benson Compact Single 1.WS watch winder can be connected to mains power via the supplied adapter, but you can also place batteries in it. The price is 199 euros. This model comes with an adapter, manual and a 2-year warranty.

The Benson Compact 1.17 Holland Edition Orange watch winder is the last item in the list of watch winders up to 200 euros. This model is suitable for winding 1 automatic watch and is technically the same as the 1.17 Carbon Fiber. Only the appearance is different, because this is a special Limited Edition model with the Dutch lion in white on the side against an orange background. This orange watch winder also has a Japanese motor and can be set according to your wishes. The nice thing about this model is that it is currently discounted to 149 euros. A very competitive price for a great entry-level watch winder.

A watch winder really does not have to be expensive to wind an automatic watch properly and safely. But you do have to choose quality and durability. Quality is very important and starts with a good motor. A good watch winder is suitable for any type and brand of automatic watch and also offers the basic functionalities that you cannot do without. You have to think of the clockwise, counter-clockwise and alternating rotation and adjustable revolutions per day. These are the basic requirements. We then recommend choosing a model where the watch holder, with the watch on it, clicks into the watch winder. Then you ensure that the watch can never fall out of the watch winder during winding.

An automatic watch shows the purest form of the watchmaker's craft. With an automatic timepiece, the detail and craftsmanship is something that comes alive. Where a quartz watch works on battery and a mechanical watch works by means of winding, an automatic watch gets the required energy from the natural movement of the wrist. Many watch enthusiasts are particularly charmed by the watches with an automatic heart. The disadvantage is, of course, that an automatic watch will stop when it is not being worn. After all, the necessary movement to generate energy is lacking. It does not benefit an automatic watch when it comes to a standstill, as it can even cause inaccuracies in time and date display. To ensure that an automatic watch continues to run when it is temporarily not worn, there is the watch winder. This indispensable accessory in this area provides the movement that the watch needs and thus ensures the correct winding of the watch.

A watch winder also immediately offers a nice storage place for your watch. In addition, it acts as a kind of status symbol for some enthusiasts, just like the watch itself. The types and sizes of watch winders, from both the piece of technology to the appearance and degree of luxury, therefore vary widely. There are also many differences in the field of quality. Swiss products are seen in this world as the best of the best. The American watch winder brand Orbita watch winders is seen as a high-end watch winder brand and offers watch winders that are equipped with a Swiss motor.

They call this the so-called "Rotor Wind System". This system provides the necessary movement by gently shaking the watch. The Orbita watch winders are suitable for every watch brand/model and the Orbita collection offers predominantly classic designs. In terms of capacity, Orbita offers watch winders for the enthusiast with a single automatic watch, as well as for the real collector with a wider collection.

Are you the proud owner of a beautiful automatic watch? And do you want to purchase a suitable watch winder for this watch? Our hint is to choose quality! After all, a good watch winder provides your watch with the most important thing to keep functioning, namely motion. Where the natural movement of the wrist normally supplies an automatic watch with energy, the watch winder takes over this function when the watch is not being worn. This means that a watch winder fulfills an important function and therefore the choice for quality is very important. Quality, on the other hand, does not always automatically mean expensive. There are several watch winder brands on the market that deliver very good quality at an interesting price. A good example of this is the Dutch brand Benson.

Benson has gained a lot of knowledge and experience in the field of the watch winder and knows exactly what the real enthusiast expects from a good watch winder and of course what an automatic watch needs. Where Benson's watch winders used to be equipped with high quality Japanese motors as standard, the brand now also offers watch winders with Swiss made motors. The real enthusiast knows of course that the quality in the field of watches, watch winders and everything that comes with it from Switzerland stands for top quality. These powerful Swiss motors are not only of very good quality, but also energy-efficient, durable and reliable. In addition, they do their work almost silently, which ensures optimum user comfort. The watch winders that are equipped with Swiss motors can be found in the Swiss Series from Benson. The Benson Swiss Series offer watch winders with different capacities, so that both the enthusiast with one automatic watch and the real collector will be able to indulge themselves here. There is also plenty to choose from within the Benson Swiss Series in terms of color and material.

The Benson Swiss Series Single watch winders are watch winders suitable for winding one automatic watch.

This allows you to easily and easily adjust the settings.

The Swiss Series Single watch winders are available in different colors and materials. We see various shades of brown, black, red, white, green and blue. In terms of materials, the choice was made for beautiful wood and quality leather, among other things. The fabric inside of the watch winders ensures that your watches are optimally protected against damage. The specially developed safety system disengages the motor as soon as a watch is placed or removed. Because the watch winders can be closed with a glass door, you don't have to be afraid of harmful external influences, such as dust, dirt and condensation. Moreover, this gives your watch winder an extra luxurious look. The built-in LED lighting makes it possible to view your watch at any time. Your watches will immediately stand out!

Watch winders come from different brands and can differ a lot in terms of technology, material and design. Well-known brands such as Swiss Kubik, Benson, Orbita and Paul Design have been leading the way for years. If you are looking for a good watch winder, what should you pay attention to and how do you ensure that you do not pay too much? There are so many different watch winders that it is sometimes difficult to determine what the exact differences are and why one brand or model is more expensive than another. We try to provide more information on the basis of certain properties of a watch winder. In this article we will discuss the question of what determines the price of a watch winder.

The most important aspects that determine the price of a watch winder are the specific brand, how many watches you can wind in the watch winder, the type of motors, the functionality, the use of materials and the design. We will discuss these aspects one by one for a good overview.

There are various watch winder brands and there is a big difference between good brands and bad brands. Respectable brands such as Benson, Paul Design, Swiss Kubik, Bernard Favre and Heisse & Söhne have been producing watch winders for years and are praised by watch enthusiasts worldwide. These brands have extensive collections and invest in their technology and innovations. As a result, the brands develop and offer better quality, technology and functionality. However, there are also watch winders that are offered by Amazon, Aliexpress or Bol.com (Dutch platform). These are often cheaper Chinese watch winders with unknown motors and poor functionality and quality. The brand name is often nicely conceived, mainly to mislead consumers into thinking they have purchased a quality product. In reality, it is not a real brand that invests in its products, but a Chinese factory that produces cheap watch winders and sells it to all kinds of parties who then place their own name on the watch winder. The difference in price between a serious watch winder brand and an unknown Asian brand with a remarkably low price is easy to explain based on the above.

In addition to the brand, the capacity of the watch winder, in other words how many automatic watches can be wound in the watch winder, also largely determines the price. In general, a watch winder that can wind more automatic watches is more expensive than a watch winder that can wind fewer automatic watches. After all, any watch that rotates is powered by a motor. More watches means more motors. The motor of a watch winder is the heart of this watch accessory and is one of the more expensive parts. A watch winder that can wind more automatic watches is often also larger in size, which also affects the price because more material is used. Larger watch winders require more material, labor and lead to higher transport costs.

As noted earlier, the motor is the heart of the watch winder. The motor ensures the rotation of the watch. With a good watch winder, each watch is powered by a separate motor. This makes each watch individually adjustable in terms of direction of rotation and number of revolutions per day. The quality of the motor depends on where the motor was produced. In general, watch winders' motors come from Switzerland, Germany, Japan and China. Swiss and German motors  are the most highly regarded for quality and durability. In addition, they are often almost silent in use. Japanese motors  are almost as good as Swiss and German motors and are a bit cheaper, which means that watch winders that use Japanese motors are often attractively priced. Japanese motors are also of very good quality and durable, but as a rule the sound level is slightly higher than with Swiss and German motors. Chinese motors are no longer used by serious watch winder brands. These Chinese motors are still used in watch winders that are offered on Amazon, Aliexpress and Bol.com. Often the motors are unbranded and they quickly cause a lot of noise nuisance or malfunctions. Often a watch winder that uses such motors can no longer be repaired. Not only because the parts are difficult to obtain, but also because it is not economically profitable. Replacing the watch winder is often cheaper than a repair. This is not only a waste of your money but is also anything but sustainable.

A watch winder's main task is to wind automatic watches. An automatic watch gets energy when it makes a certain number of revolutions per day. The rotor in the timepiece rotates, tensioning a spring. When this spring relaxes, the automatic watch starts running. Every good watch winder can rotate clockwise, anticlockwise and alternately and is adjustable in terms of number of revolutions per day. This combination of properties allows you to provide any watch, regardless of watch brand or model, with energy. But a watch winder can also have very different functionalities that you can use well as a watch enthusiast. You can think of built-in LED lighting for a good view of the watches, but also a lockable door so that the watches are safe in the watch winder. Other examples of useful features are power winding where you provide the watches with energy in a short time, and also the sleep mode where the watch winder pauses during the night hours because you normally sleep at night and the watch does not move. The Paul Design brand distinguishes itself with a fingerprint sensor with which you can open and close the door. Swiss Kubik distinguishes itself with a battery function in which the watch winder can function for up to 3 years on one set of batteries. The Dutch brand Benson has various useful extras such as additional storage space, flexible watch holders and a modern touchscreen with which you can set the watch winder. In short, each brand has its own advantages.

The material of which the watch winder is made plays a major role on the durability, but certainly also on the price of a watch winder. The quality and quantity of the materials used such as wood, fabric, stainless steel and glass have a direct influence on the price. But also the type of material and its processing can influence the labor. Materials that are difficult to work with require more specific knowledge and concentration in production. You can see this well with the Swiss brand RDI that works with organic materials where each watch winder is unique. The RDI watch winders are therefore not cheap. The material of the watch winder is an important property. Wooden watch winders, for example, absorb sound, but are also more vulnerable to scratches and bumps. Plastic or aluminum watch winders, such as those from Swiss Kubik, are stronger but do not offer an absorbing effect and do not have the same luxurious appearance as a wooden watch winder. However, your personal taste also plays a major role. Do you choose a watch winder purely on the basis of functionality or also on the basis of appearance, material and color? There are many options and watch winders are produced in all kinds of colors. Plenty of choice!

The last element that affects the price is the design of the watch winder. Brands design a watch winder based on the needs of their customers. There are brands that produce small and effective watch winders and brands that turn out much more in terms of size, extras and luxury. A beautiful design usually costs more money than a simple design. For one watch enthusiast who wants to wind his or her automatic watches, design is important, for others it is not and a watch winder is purely a handy accessory. Nevertheless, we notice that customers are increasingly looking for a beautiful watch winder that is really placed as an eye-catcher in the interior. For example in the living room, bedroom or in an office. The watch winder must then match the specific interior in terms of size, color and design.

Watch winder brands each choose their own design that distinguishes them from other brands. You recognize certain brands immediately. For example, we see that Swiss Kubik watch winders have a very compact and functional design. The watch enthusiast who buys a Swiss Kubik watch winder does not so much opt for a high-quality design and a luxurious appearance. Bernard Favre, on the other hand, is a Swiss brand whose watch winders have unique designs. With the Planet models, the watch turns, as it were, on its own axis, which offers a special appearance. The glass bell that comes with it makes it a beautiful watch winder. The Dutch brand Benson has various series such as the Compact, Smart-Tech II, Black Series and Swiss Series, giving you a wide choice in terms of design and price range. The differences in design between these brands are significant. A luxurious design ensures that the price is normally also higher. If you choose a watch winder with a simple design, the price will generally be a bit lower.

There are many different types of watch winders. There are also large differences in price between models and brands. But as a rule, the price differences can be easily explained if we look at the materials used, type of engines and capacity. In addition, you pay a little more for one brand than for another. You also see this in cars, mobile phones and clothing. Well-known brands that also do a lot of marketing are normally more expensive. Due to their brand name, reputation and origin, they can charge a higher price for their products.

If you want to purchase a new watch winder, pay attention to the above aspects and determine what is important to you. Compare different makes and models. Get well-informed by a specialist and determine your budget. On that basis, you will certainly make a good choice for an excellent watch winder that will wind your automatic watches well and safely and which you will enjoy for years to come.
