How do you buy a good watch winder?

Posted on 10 October 2019 at 9:05 AM

Every watch fan knows the problem that an automatic watch looses energy if it is not worn. You then have to reset the time and date by pulling out the crown. This process takes time, is inconvenient and can also pose a risk to the watch. After all, the crown is one of the most fragile parts of a watch.

Fortunately there is a solution. The watch winder. A watch winder is a device that rotates the automatic watches slowly so that the automatic watch acquires and retains energy. This way the watch is always on time and you have no risk of damaging the watch when you open the crown.

There are all kinds of watch winders, in different sizes, styles and price ranges. But how do you buy a good watch winder? What should you pay attention to and what should you not buy? The answer is simple. Always choose a watch winder that is large enough for your collection of automatic watches and take into account any changes in the collection. In addition, it is important to choose a watch winder that offers all the functionalities to wind your automatic watches. It is important here that the watch winder can turn clockwise and counter clockwise, because one watch receives energy with clockwise rotation and the other watch with countrer clockwise rotation. Most watch winders have the option of running at 900 or 1000 revolutions per day (TPD) which is sufficient for 95% of all automatic watches. There are also watch winders, for example from the Dutch brand Benson, where you can choose from different TPDs. For example 600, 900, 1200, 1500 etc etc. This makes you flexible and can easily wind up all automatic watches, regardless of brand or model. Another good example are the Heisse & Söhne and Paul Design watch winders.

What should you not buy? In our experience (15 years) we would not recommend a watch winder for sale on Amazon, Alibaba etc etc. These are often "low-end" products that often make a lot of noise after a while, can burn out or even break completely. In this case, a cheap purchase becomes expensive. Choose a watch winder from a famous brand. Do you want the best for your automatic watches? And certainly not run a risk with your beautiful watches?

You can buy a good watch winder in any price range. The price is not leading. However, more expensive watch winders, such as brands such as Bernard Favre, Orbita or Swiss Kubik, are often equipped with better motors, offer more functions and often have a lower noise level. With the Dutch brand Benson you can already buy an excellent watch winder for one watch for 169.00 euros.

Watch winders can be found in all kinds of styles, sizes and price classes. There are many different brands with their own design, use of materials and functionality. The average jeweler does not have watch winders in stock and cannot inform you good enough about it.

Our watch winder brands, such as Benson, Swiss Kubik, Bernard Favre and Chronovision, all differ from each other. Not only in terms of technology, price and design, but also in functionality. The functionality of a watch winder is very important. This is because it is very useful if each rotor is individually adjustable in terms of direction of rotation and number of revolutions per day. It is also important that the watch can be placed properly in the watch winder and that it rotates safely. That a watch winder has a low noise level is especially important when you place the watch winder in the bedroom.
