For every enthusiast and collector of automatic watches, a watch winder is actually the number one watch accessory. Maybe you are wondering what a watch winder is? And why do you use a watch winder? The answer to this is quite extensive. A watch winder is indispensable for various reasons. To explain this, it is useful to know how an automatic watch works. An automatic watch keeps running on time through movement. Normally, the watch meets this need by the natural movement of the wrist. However, you do not always wear an automatic watch. When you take your watch off, for example at night, during exercise or simply because you own several watches and alternate them, your watch does not get the required movement and can then stop running. A watch winder mimics the movement of the wrist and in this way provides the watch with the right energy, so that it does not stand still.

In this sense, a watch winder ensures the preservation of your watch. An automatic watch that comes to a standstill can afterwards cause inaccuracies in time and date display. Apart from that, a watch winder also ensures that the correct oil allocation is maintained for your watch. In addition to the movement that a watch winder provides, there are several reasons for which you can use a watch winder. A good watch winder also protects against external influences, such as dirt and dust, or for example condensation. This prevents damage and wear to your watches. Watch winders come in different shapes and sizes. There are watch winders for people with a single automatic watch, but also various watch winders for collectors with room for multiple automatic watches. For example the modern Paul Design watch winders. There is a variety of capacities in this area. For the small collector, but also for the collector with many automatic watches. A watch winder with a large capacity is an absolute outcome for the collector, otherwise it is impossible to keep all watches running properly on time.

There are watch winders that can easily be placed in a safe due to the compact size, so that your watch is always safe. The Swiss Kubik watch winders are ideal for this. But there are even watch winders that are built into a safe. This way you don't have to worry about the safety of your automatic watches as they are stored safely. Benson watchwinders has various safes with built-in watch winders.

A watch winder is a nice storage place for your watches anyway. Some watch winders also offer extra storage space, for example in the form of a drawer. This makes it possible to neatly store all your jewelry and, for example, cufflinks. When you choose a good watch winder, it is often energy efficient and almost silent in use. In addition, good watch winders offer overwind protection. Some watch winders can be operated via a touchscreen and for many models, for example, the rotors can be set individually. For example, the latest Paul Design Gentlemen watch winders have a remote control.

A watch winder can also be an added aesthetic value. For a collector of automatic watches, a luxury watch winder with the right appearance will definitely be of value as a fitting piece for the collection. There are different types of watch winders with an original or even unique design, which will be a real eye catcher with any interior and watch collection. The choice of materials also plays a role in this. Luxury and high-quality materials such as wood, stainless steel and glass are often used in the various models of watch winders.

In short, a watch winder has the following functions: excitement for daily wearing the watch, oil allocation inside the timepiece, protection against wear and damage and in the case of a safe even against theft. In addition, the design is important as well, it is a supplement to your interior and watch or watch collection. For enthusiasts and collectors it is even fascinating to see how the watch is wound because the watch remains visible when it's rotated inside the watch winder. In other words, a watch winder is definitely the number one watch accessory.

Automatic watches come in all shapes and sizes. There are so many watch brands that produce automatic watches. But automatic watches all have one thing in common; they come to a standstill if they don't get any energy, in other words if you don't wear them or don't place them in a watch winder. No watch enthusiast likes it when his or her favorite automatic watches are standing still. Stagnation is in fact decline. The ultimate accessory to prevent downtime is a watch winder. A watch winder simulates wrist movement so that the energy in the timepiece of the watch is retained and the watch keeps running on time. There are various brands that produce watch winders and there are many more different watch winder models. However, the concept is always the same, you place your automatic watch in the watch winder which then rotates and brings energy into the watch. But what exactly are the advantages of the use of a watch winder?

A watch winder is handy!

Convenience is very important!. Why make it difficult when it can be easy. This also applies to a watch winder. The watch winder ensures that your automatic watches keep moving if you do not wear the watches. This keeps the watches on time and they indicate the correct date. But also consider the chronograph, GMT function or moon phase that is properly set. If an automatic watch is stationary, the functions also stop, so you have to reset it when you start wearing the watch. Setting the time is not such a problem. You can do this very quickly. But setting the chronograph, GMT function or the moon phase is something different. Especially when you have multiple automatic watches, setting watches can be a tedious and time-consuming job.

The use of a watch winder is better for automatic watches

A watch winder simulates wrist movement so that an automatic watch no longer stands still. As mentioned, stagnation means decline. Think of a car that has been in a garage for years without it driving. The parts will show defects and then the car will no longer start or will no longer run smoothly. The same applies to downtime at automatic watches. The oil in the timepiece is no longer distributed by the timepiece, so that the timepiece can be damaged if it suddenly has to function again. Automatic watches are usually considerably more expensive than for example quartz watches. Damage or a defect to an automatic watch can result in high bills for maintenance, repair or even replacement. You want to prevent this by regularly providing your watches with movement. However, you also want to wear your favorite watch and not wear a watch because it needs movement. The solution is a watch winder. You wear your favorite automatic watch every day and the watch winder ensures that your other automatic watches keep moving and do not stop. The watch winder is therefore also the most popular and useful accessory for automatic watches.

The use of a watch winder to keep automatic watches moving has another advantage. Because the automatic watches rotate in a watch winder so that the energy in the timepiece is retained, you do not have to open the crown every time to reset the time, date and other functions. This is a big advantage because the crown is one of the most vulnerable parts of a watch. After all, the crown is attached to the timepiece inside the watch with a thin rod (a thin pin). A defect at the crown can occur quite easily, especially if you regularly open and close the crown. You do not always have the time or the peace to do this with concentration. A defective crown is the result in a moment of inattention.

A watch winder looks cool!

Watch winders come, as mentioned, in all shapes and sizes. You can choose from many brands, capacity, color, material and design. A watch winder is not only very handy and good for the durability of the automatic watch, it also looks incredibly cool. A watch winder with rotating automatic watches is an eye catcher. It provides a unique view of your collection of automatic watches. For example when it is evening and the LED lighting beautifully illuminates the watches. We also often hear from customers that a watch winder often provides discussion material with people who see a watch winder for the first time. They are surprised and interested in the device and often find the view of the rotating watches very beautiful!

There are watch winders that are made of wood, aluminum, plastic and stainless steel. In addition, you can often choose from different colors or additional materials such as macassar, carbon fiber or leather. This allows you to choose a watch winder that fits perfectly in your interior. Not only at home, but also at the office or even in a safe. You even have watch winders that you can easily take with you on a trip or vacation.

So the use of a watch winder has many advantages! The true watch enthusiast who has multiple automatic watches opts for a good watch winder.

The true watch enthusiast has several automatic watches. Probably from well-known brands such as Breitling, Rolex, Seiko, Omega, Tag Heuer or Damasko. The problem with a collection of automatic watches is that you can only wear one watch at a time. This means that the other watches are stationary. Standstill is never good and especially not handy when you regularly change your watch. You then have to reset the time and date each time and wind up the watch manually. Fortunately there is a solution for this, namely the use of a watch winder.

A watch winder is a device in which automatic watches are supplied with energy to keep them running. A watch winder rotates the automatic watches slowly so that the spring of the movement inside the watch is tensioned and the watch starts running. Because a watch winder functions according to a certain program, it runs and pauses, again and again. This tensioning the spring and relaxes it again when the watch winder is in pause. This simulates wrist movement.

A watch winder is the watch accessory par excellence for the watch collector and enthusiast. But a watch winder is also very useful for someone who has one automatic watch. You always have the option to provide your watch with energy quickly and safely, for example if the watch is not being used for a shorter while. For example if you are going to exercise, swim or when you are sleeping.

Watch winders come in all shapes and sizes. Especially for 1, 2 and 4 watches there is a lot of choice. But for many watches the choice is limited. There are only a few watch winder brands that produce larger watch winders for 12, 16, 20 or even 24 watches. Often these watch winders are also quite expensive. If you have many automatic watches and you want to purchase a good watch winder, what should you look out for? What is the best watch winder for 12 automatic watches?

There are different watch winders for 12 watches from brands such as Orbita, Paul Design and Boda Concept. However, the best watch winder in our opinion is the Benson Black Series Pro 12.19. This watch winder combines all the features that you would like to have in one watch winder. The engines in this watch winder are Japanese and extremely reliable. They are powerful enough for heavier watches. Each watch is powered by a separate motor, so you have maximum flexibility. You can wind each watch in a different way, for example one clockwise at 900 TPD (turns per day) and the other counterclockwise at 1200 TPD. Of course you can, for example, also run 9 watches and stop the other 3.

With this model you can set the direction of rotation and the number of revolutions per day so that you can wind up any automatic watch, regardless of watch brand or watch model. In addition, you can beautifully illuminate the watches through the built-in LED lighting. This lighting provides a beautiful appearance. With the power winding option you can wind automatic watches quickly in a short period. For example if you have limited time.

The Benson Black Series Pro 12.19 watch winder has a built-in drawer where you can store all kinds of other things. For example, other watches, jewelry or papers. The watch winder can be locked with a key so that nobody can access the watches.

An important advantage of the Benson Black Series Pro 12.19 watch winder is that every watch is attached to a watch holder that then clicks into the watch winder.
