The advantages of a watch winder
Most watch enthusiasts prefer an automatic watch because it shows the purest form of the watchmaker's craft. The operation of the automatic watch is fascinating. It is not without reason that there are automatic watches on the market with a glass bottom that provides a good view of the operation of the timepiece. However, the automatic watch also has another side that needs to be taken into account. It cannot function without proper movement.
Automatic watches from Rolex, Breitling, Tag Heuer, IWC, Omega and Oris, for example, come to a standstill when they are not being worn. The automatic movement requires movement (or manual winding via the crown) to continue functioning. As long as you have an automatic watch on your wrist, there is nothing to worry about. The movements of your wrist provide the energy supply of the watch when you wear it. However, if you are not wearing your automatic watch, a watch winder offers a good solution to prevent your watch from standing still. Most watch winders meet the movement needs of the automatic watch by rotating the watch.
Even if you have several automatic watches, and you can only wear one, a few automatic watches are not running. Standstill is actually not good at all for automatic watches. It is better that the timepiece stays in motion and that the oil inside the timepiece is nicely distributed over all moving parts. Most people who have automatic watches therefore use a watch winder. As noted above, these watch accessories mimic the wearing of a watch, allowing the automatic movement to obtain energy and continue to function.
A watch winder offers many advantages when you have one or more automatic watches. In addition to the winding function in the first place, a watch winder offers several other advantages. The movement also ensures that there is a correct oil distribution in the watch. In addition, a suitable watch winder offers a storage place for your watches in which you can store them with a safe feeling. The watch winders are usually designed in such a way that the inside is provided with a protective fabric against damage. Watch winders are often also lockable with the help of a door to ward off harmful influences from the outside. Because a lot of attention is paid to the design and design of high-quality watch winders, they are often suitable for use as a display for your watch or watches. You see, a watch winder is an accessory that is essential when you own one or more automatic watches.
