Choosing a good watch winder is not always easy. There are many different brands and the quality differences are large. In addition, there are many differences in price, materials and functionality. When choosing a watch winder, you also have to think about the capacity of the watch winder, in other words how many watches can be wound in the watch winder. If you only have one automatic watch, you probably choose a watch winder that is suitable for winding one watch. But if you have 6 or more watches, and your watch collection probably changes regularly, you quickly choose a larger watch winder that is suitable for 8, 12 or even 16 watches. You are then flexible and have a watch winder that is suitable for the future.

If you have a nice budget to spend, you can opt for a beautiful high-end watch winder. A high-end watch winder is a watch winder from the higher price segment that is often equipped with better motors, more functionalities and all kinds of nice extras. A high end watch winder is more than just for winding automatic watches. It is also an object for a beautiful interior. In English they call this a “conversation piece”.

High quality motors

The heart of the watch winder is formed by the motor. The motor drives the rotor in which the watch is mounted. It is therefore important that the motor is strong enough but also functions with as little noise as possible.

High end watch winders almost all use Swiss and German motors. A good example are the Swiss Kubik and Orbita watch winders. Both brands are equipped with Swiss made motors. But there are also excellent German motors, which are used, for example, by Chronovision watch winders. Quality motors are extremely important for high end watch winder brands. The customer expects the best and high durability for years of enjoyment from the device.

Material use

Most luxury watch winders are made of very beautiful materials. You can think of wood, stainless steel, gold, carbon and leather. It was decided to use the best materials during production to guarantee an extra nice result. The finish also plays a major role. The best quality is offered with great attention to detail and finish.

Because high-end watch winders are usually made entirely by hand, the production of such a watch winder takes an enormous amount of time. During the production process, specialized professionals are not only busy with the construction of the watch winder itself, but also with quality control.

You can expect from a high-end watch winder that it offers all options to wind one or more watches safely and professionally. This type of watch winder will therefore offer many options to provide an automatic watch with energy. The direction of rotation can of course be selected and you can choose between winding clockwise, anti-clockwise and alternately. In addition to the direction of rotation, you can also choose the number of revolutions per day. In English this is called TPD (turns per day). Each automatic watch needs a different number of revolutions per day to obtain good energy. The most common TPD are 600, 900, 1200, 1500 and 2100. A high end watch winder offers all this TPD, so you can choose the direction of rotation and TPD for each watch.

In terms of functionality, you can also think of built-in LED lighting. This provides a nice view of the rotating watches. This is especially beautiful in the dark. In addition, it is functional because you can see exactly how you click the watches in the watch winder and remove them safely. Nice extras with a high end watch winder include a fingerprint lock, remote control and bluetooth connection. These options are also offered by watch winder brands that are not a high end brand, but do produce fantastic watch winders. A good example of this is Paul Design watch winders.

The advantages of a high end watch winder

We have now listed some features of a high end watch winder, but what are the real advantages of a high end watch winder. We believe the greatest advantages are the quality, durability, functionality and finish.

Quality assures you of a nice watch winder that you will enjoy for years to come. Reliable motors that wind your watches smoothly and safely are extremely important. What is also very important is the functionality. You want a watch winder that is easy and quick to operate, but also where the watches are safe. A high-end watch winder often has a beautiful finish. You can think of a beautiful design, attention to details and beautiful materials. You often recognize a high-end watch winder immediately. This is stylish, luxurious and beautifully designed.

Especially for your beautiful automatic watches, for example from Oris, Omega, Rolex, Breilting or Tag Heuer, you want a good watch winder. You are not placing your beautiful Swiss watches in a cheap watch winder that you are not sure is good for your automatic watches, right?

A good watch winder is part of a beautiful watch collection. It really doesn't have to be a high end watch winder because there are plenty of affordable brands that offer excellent quality. For example, you can take a look at Benson watch winders or Heisse & Söhne.

If you have enough money for a beautiful watch winder, we definitely recommend a high-end watch winder that fits well with your watches but also in your interior. As a beautiful object in your living room, bedroom or office you will certainly have a topic of conversation with your friends, colleagues or family.

Watch winders from the Dutch brand Benson are now highly regarded worldwide. The brand has expanded enormously over the past 5 years and receives excellent comments from watch enthusiasts and professionals. The brand introduced its popular Black Series watch winders in 2016. A collection of watch winders that is characterized by luxurious designs, excellent technology and good functionality. The interesting prices, which are on average 20-30% lower than competitive models, make these watch winders very popular and probably the best choice in its segment.

Benson Swiss Series watch winders

In addition to the Black Series, Benson now presents its new Swiss Series watch winders. This new collection of watch winders is fully equipped with Swiss technology and is assembled in the Netherlands. This creates a quality product that actually has no competition. Comparable brands offer less quality and functionality and are often priced up to 30% higher.

The Benson Swiss Series watch winders are available in different capacities. There is a choice of models suitable for the winding of 1, 2, 3 and 4 automatic watches. Each model is available in different versions in terms of material and color. You can choose a watch winder made of wood, leather (in different colors), carbon fiber, walnut or macassar.

Swiss motors

The heart of the Benson Swiss Series watch winders is formed by Swiss motors. These motors can therefore carry the Swiss made label and guarantee quality and durability. An important advantage of these motors is that they have an extremely low sound level. The sound level is partly due to the fact that sounds are absorbed by the wooden construction and because every Benson Swiss Series watch winder is fitted with a glass door.

Each watch winder from the Swiss Series collection is equipped with an LCD control system that allows you to quickly and easily set the desired program per watch. Each watch can be individually set because each watch has its own motor. So you can set each motor clockwise, counter-clockwise or alternately and then choose the number of revolutions per day. The model suitable for winding 4 watches is therefore equipped with 4 motors. This gives you optimal flexibility because automatic watches are not all supplied with energy in the same way. In practice, you can wind one watch clockwise at 900 TPD and the other watch counterclockwise at 600 TPD. Especially if you have different automatic watches from different watch brands, this is a necessary feature of the watch winder.

Characteristics

One of the most important features of a watch winder is the watch holder. After all, the watch holder holds the watch while turning. It is important that the watch is securely attached to the holder and that it does not move when rotating or even fall off. The Benson Swiss Series watch winder has a watch holder that can be clicked into the watch winder, so that the automatic watch is securely attached. In addition, the holder is fully adjustable to the size of the watch (and size of the watch strap). So you can place any type of watch in the watch winder, regardless of brand/model or size of the watch.

In addition to decent watch holders, every Benson Swiss Series watch winder has LED lighting that illuminates the watches beautifully while winding. The LED lighting can be activated as desired and is only available when the watch winder is connected to mains power. The watch winder can also work on batteries, but the LED lighting cannot then be activated because the batteries will run out too quickly.

As written, the Benson Swiss Series watch winder works on an included adapter. However, the watch winder can work for several months on a set of batteries. This is ideal if you want to take the watch winder with you on a trip, when you do not have a power outlet nearby or in case you want to place the watch winder in a safe. Because the watch winder works with both an adapter and batteries, you are flexible and you can always wind your automatic watches, regardless of where the watch winder is located.

Compact design

Benson has opted for a compact design for its new Swiss Series watch winders. The watch winders have no extra storage space for other watches or jewelry. The brand consciously opts for a very luxurious look and beautiful materials. These new watch winders offer the best there is on the market in terms of technology and functionality. In addition, the use of materials and finish is of an exceptionally high level. These watch winders can be called extremely luxurious for a reason.

The compact design of Benson Swiss Series watch winders has a few major advantages. You can easily place the watch winders anywhere because they take up little space. As a result, they also fit anywhere in the interior without standing out too much in the environment. The watch winders are elegant and stylish and a connoisseur will certainly notice them.

Affordable luxury watch winders

This new generation of Benson Swiss Series watch winders actually offers everything you need in terms of the excitement of automatic watches. The watch winders are extremely luxurious, functional and each have sustainable Swiss technology. An important advantage is that these watch winders are fully assembled in the Netherlands. This ensures quality. The high quality is emphasized by the 3-year warranty that the brand gives on its models.
A big advantage of this new series of watch winders from Benson is the attractive price. The prices of these Benson Swiss Series watch winders are up to 30% lower than competitor watch winders, which often offer less for more money. As a result, Benson expects this new series to be a great success.

You need a watch winder if you don't want to let your automatic watches stand still. When an automatic watch is not worn or is wound up in a watch winder, it will stop running after +- 32-40 hours. If you want to wear the watch afterwards, you have to reset the time, date and other settings. In addition, you must provide the watch with energy again so that it starts running again. This is inconvenient and unnecessary because a watch winder ensures that the watches run neatly on time and you can wear the watch immediately.

Good quality watch winders come from various countries. You can think of Germany, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Italy and Switzerland. In this blog we write about the best Swiss watch winders. Switzerland is of course the watch country pur sang and has an excellent reputation for quality, workmanship and functionality.

Swiss watch winder brands are Bernard Favre, Swiss Kubik and RDI. In addition, there are also a few brands from other countries that do use Swiss technology. More obout this later.

If you are looking for a good Swiss watch winder, which brand and model is the best to buy? What should you pay attention to and what are the differences between the brands? In this blog we answer the most important questions regarding a Swiss watch winder. 

Swiss watch winder

What is a Swiss watch winder? The answer is simple, a Swiss watch winder is a watch winder that is made in Switzerland and may bear the designation Swiss made. Production takes place in this country and the parts must come mostly from this Alpine country.

The most important part of the watch winder is the motor. Brands such as Swiss Kubik, Bernard Favre and RDI use Swiss motors. These motors are developed and produced by specific companies in Switzerland. It guarantees long-term proper operation of the watch winder with a minimum of sound. Swiss motors are very well regarded, but are also more expensive than watch winders with German or Japanese motors.

Swiss Kubik watch winders

The most famous watch winder brand from Switzerland is Swiss Kubik. This brand produces very compact watch winders for 1 to 12 watches. The advantage of these Swiss Kubik watch winders is that they function for more than 1 year on a set of batteries. The models are therefore very energy-efficient and therefore very pleasant to put in a safe. The watch winders do not have extensive functionalities but are very effective.

Bernard Favre watch winders

The most special Swiss watch winder brand is Bernard Favre. This brand produces very high-quality watch winders with Swiss technology, which have a very unique way of winding. The Planet models of this brand turn the watch, like a planet, on its axis. This is a beautiful sight and very effective in winding up any automatic watch. The watch winder comes with a glass bell jar that can be placed over the watch winder for an extra luxurious look, but especially for good protection of the automatic watch.

Bernard Favre watch winders are in the higher price segment because of the high-quality materials and the unique winding system.

RDI watch winders

Less known but certainly no less interesting are the RDI watch winders. This Swiss brand produces watch winders with its own appearance and excellent quality. The RDI collection is very extensive with different styles and materials. The brand does not produce standard watch winders, but rather unique models designed by artists and made of very special materials.

The RDI watch winders are produced by hand in a high-tech factory that we have already visited. Quality, beautiful materials and pure craftsmanship are at the top of this great brand.

Benson Swiss Series watch winders

There are also brands from other countries that use Swiss technology in their watch winders. Two good examples are Scatola del Tempo and the Dutch brand Benson. The latter brand is a brand that has become extremely popular and has grown considerably in recent years. Benson watch winders are known for their excellent quality, modern designs and attractive price levels. Actually, there is no other watch winder brand that offers such a good price/quality.

Soon Benson will present a completely new series: the Swiss Series. This new series consists of watch winders with Swiss technology and is assembled in the Netherlands. This creates a unique series of watch winders with the most modern technology and beautiful quality.

Conclusion

There are various watch winder brands from Switzerland. They have in common that they produce excellent quality watch winders. The Swiss made designation is a nice extra for many watch enthusiasts. Swiss watch winders are often priced a bit higher than other brands, but of course you also get a Swiss motor. This is known for its good quality and high durability.

If you would like a watch winder with Swiss technology, you can also look at Scatola del Tempo or Benson. Both brands produce excellent watch winders with Swiss technology. In short, there is plenty of choice!

An automatic watch comes to a standstill when you are not wearing it. When you want to wear it again you have to pull out the crown, reset the time and date and then wind the watch manually. This not only takes time but is also inconvenient. In addition, you can damage the watch during these actions, because you have to pull out the crown very carefully.

The solution is a watch winder. A watch winder is a watch accessory that you use to wind watches. The automatic watches are wound by slowly turning them clockwise or counter-clockwise. This gives the timepiece inside the watch energy so that the timepiece will function. A watch winder mimics wrist movement, as it were, as if you were wearing the watch.

A watch winder is especially useful if you have one or more automatic watches and do not wear them every day. For example, when you want to wear a different watch every day or when you wear one specific automatic watch for a long time and the other watches are stationary. With watches it also applies that standing still is deterioration. We therefore advise to use a watch winder if you are a fan of automatic watches.

Watch winders come in all shapes, sizes and prices. In this blog we write about affordable watch winders for 2 watches. Which watch winder for 2 watches is best to buy? What should you pay attention to? And where do you buy a good watch winder at an affordable price?

Differences between watch winders

What applies to cars also applies to watch winders. There are many different brands, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. If you want a high-end brand, you often pay a higher price than if you buy a watch winder from a smaller brand. A watch winder is in principle a relatively simple device. It has the ability to wind one or more automatic watches by rotating the watches. The differences in watch winders is mainly in the motors used, the operation and extras such as LED lighting, remote control, extra storage space, Bluetooth function or a special app. These are all nice extras and more important to one person than the other. In essence, a watch winder should rotate the watches and provide them with energy.

There are a few parts that we would like to mention so that you know the most important elements of a watch winder. First we start with the motors. The motors are the heart of the watch winder. Good reliable and durable motors last a long time and make little sound. It is therefore important to choose a watch winder with good quality motors. Otherwise, you will experience faulty motors or an increase in noise, which can cause the watch winder to produce disturbing noise. You can then no longer use the watch winder in a bedroom or office where you are working. Swiss motors, for example used by Swiss Kubik and Orbita, have a good reputation but are also more expensive than, for example, Japanese motors, which are used by Paul Design and Boda Concept. These Japanese motors also have a very good reputation and offer a good price/quality ratio.

We would like to mention the operation as a second important point. It is useful if the watch winder is quick and easy to set up. Each rotor on which you place a watch must be individually adjustable, so rotate independently of the other rotors. Because one automatic watch has different requirements than the other. You can think of a watch that has to rotate clockwise at 900 revolutions per day while your other watches have to rotate counter-clockwise at 600 revolutions per day. Then it is useful if you have a watch winder where you can set each rotor individually. This is also useful when you buy a new watch once. Most good watch winders have an LCD screen or touchscreen with which you can adjust all settings. Some watch winders still have buttons or knobs. That is not wrong in itself, but a bit old-fashioned. Most high end watch winder brands, such as the Benson watch winders, all have modern touchscreens with which you can operate every setting of the device.

As a third part we want to mention the materials and finish of the watch winder. Much cheaper watch winders save a lot on materials. A good watch winder for 2 watches is made of wood or aluminum. Wood absorbs sound, is sturdy and has a beautiful appearance. Aluminum is also strong and has a more modern look. Watch winders that have a completely plastic housing can make more noise, especially in combination with a cheaper type of motor. When looking at the watch holder, the part on which the watch is attached, it is important that it clamps the watch tightly and contains soft fabric so that the harder parts of the watch holder cannot damage the watch. In terms of finish, we think it is important that the watch winder is well assembled and pleasant to use.

What are the normal prices for a good watch winder?

You prefer to spend your money on watches. But you also want to maintain your watches well and ensure that they do not wear or defect. A watch winder ensures that the oil in the timepiece is well distributed and that you don't have to open the crown (often). So you exclude risks that you do without a watch winder.

As written, there are many differences between watch winders. There are units of thousands of euros, but these are exceptions that can, for example, wind a lot of watches, have a special design or are made of special materials. However, you can already buy a good watch winder for 2 watches for several hundred euros. The Benson Compact watchwinders are a good example, but also the Smart-Tech II and Black Series watchwinders of this brand. These are excellent watch winders that are also affordable.

At a brand like Paul Design you will find the Gentlemen 2 + 3 watch winder that has a very good reputation. This model is modern, high-quality and very pleasant to use. You can also choose from different colors.

If you have a little more to spend, check out Orbita, a brand from the United States. This brand has the Orbita Sparta 2 watch winders that look quite simple and basic, but offer everything to wind automatic watches without any problems.

If you go a little higher in price, you can choose a Swiss Kubik watch winder for 2 watches. Swiss Kubik has the great advantage that she uses Swiss engines and the watch winder itself is completely Swiss made. Quality is guaranteed!

What should you pay attention to when buying a watch winder?

We advise you to buy a watch winder from a good brand. If you buy a watch winder from an unknown brand, you risk buying a cat in a bag. A good brand invests in technology, innovation, after-sales and new products. The brands described above are all good brands where you can buy a watch winder with confidence.

It is also important to choose a good seller. Choose a specialist in watch winders. A company that can provide you with a wide choice, advice and clear information. The fact that the company is an official dealer of well-known brands is an advantage, it shows that these brands have confidence in the dealer and also provide support. This is important when there is unexpectedly something wrong with the watch winder. Then you can go back to the seller who will repair or replace it.

Our last tip, in this blog article, is not to save on buying a good watch winder for 2 watches. You really do not have to buy an expensive watch winder to power your automatic watches, but you will certainly lose a few hundred euros. If you go for a cheap watch winder from an unknown brand, remember that cheap can be expensive. You want the best for your automatic watches? And you also want a nice watch winder that is not only safe for your watches, but especially for you and your environment.
