Watch winder, the best accessory for automatic watches
For the true enthusiast and owner of one or more automatic watches, there is one watch accessory that offers so many advantages that it should definitely not be missing from this hobby. We are of course talking about a quality watch winder. With a high-quality watch winder, you choose an accessory that is of great importance for both the pleasure you experience with your watches and for the care of your automatic watches.
The watch winder as a watch accessory can first and foremost prevent the annoying consequences of automatic watches standing still. Standing still of your automatic watches can cause inaccuracies in the time and date display, among other things. This is something that is of course experienced as very undesirable by the true enthusiast. In addition, it is also very annoying that you have to reset your automatic watch every time it has stopped. After all, you want to be able to put your watch on your wrist immediately when you need it. In addition, many automatic watches today are equipped with all kinds of nice extras, such as a date display, moon phase indication or GMT function. If you have to set these up again and again, it takes up unnecessary time and can cause frustration.
A good watch winder ensures that you can supply your automatic watches with energy when you are not wearing them. In this way, your automatic watches are always ready for use. Normally, a watch with an automatic movement depends on the movements of your wrist for its functioning. These movements are converted into energy, which means that your automatic watches continue to function automatically. For example, you do not need batteries for an automatic watch, like you do for a watch with a quartz movement. However, an automatic watch that is not worn will not be wound up. This is exactly the situation for which the watch winder was created.
A watch with an automatic movement can be stored in it, after which it imitates the movements of the wrist. In this way, a good watch winder not only offers a safe storage place, but also a safe and effective way of winding up your automatic watches. The real enthusiast and/or collector of automatic watches uses a watch winder for both purposes. In addition, a model in an exclusive and luxurious design can also offer a beautiful presentation option for your automatic watch or collection of automatic watches. With a design with a chic look, you can present your automatic watches in a professional manner. This ultimate watch accessory is available in numerous designs, made of different materials and equipped with various handy extra functionalities. In addition, there are models in different price ranges and designs with a difference in quality. In addition, there are models available with a diverse capacity. For example, you can choose a design with space for winding a single automatic watch, but there are also models available with space for a number of automatic watches and even for an entire collection. In this way, the avid collector can also neatly store all his automatic watches together, wind them and present them in style. In addition to winding capacity, some models also offer extra storage space. This can be used to store any other watches (mechanical or quartz watches). In addition, it is also possible to use this handy storage space to store other jewelry or, for example, cufflinks.
If you are looking for a watch winder in which you can present your automatic watch or watches in style, it is also a good option to choose a design with built-in LED lighting. This allows you to put your automatic watches in the spotlight if desired and you always have a beautiful view of your watches. In addition to extra storage space or built-in LED lighting, different brands and models offer various other interesting extras. For example, you can choose a design with a USB connection or remote control. In addition, there are also models available with a handy power winding function, with which you can wind up your automatic watches in a shorter time. This is ideal when you don't have much time. On the other hand, there are also watch winders available with a built-in sleep mode. This allows you to keep your watches just below the optimal level of winding, making it possible to give them some rest. For the real enthusiast and/or collector, it is of course also very important that his watch or watches are always stored safely. In this context, there are also watch winders available that can be locked with a lock. There are even models that are equipped with a high-end fingerprint lock, which only allows you to access your watches. Another great option is to choose a compact model that works on batteries. It is then possible to store the watch winder and your automatic watches in a safe, which means you opt for optimum safety. Moreover, a compact design is easy to take with you to the office or on a (business) trip, if desired.
A good watch winder is also equipped with overwind protection, which offers your automatic watches protection against overvoltage. A good watch winder is suitable for winding any brand and type of automatic watch. When a watch winder can be set separately per rotor in terms of rotation direction and the number of rotations per day, you also offer your automatic watches the perfect way of winding each one. Many modern models are equipped with a handy touchscreen, with which the settings of the watch winder can be changed in an instant.
The basis of every quality design is formed by high-quality motors. With a model equipped with high-quality motors, you opt for a safe and reliable way of winding. Both Japanese motors and the world-famous Swiss made motors are very well known in this area. These motors are not only extremely reliable, but also energy-efficient and last but not least, quiet in use. A watch winder equipped with these Japanese or Swiss made motors can therefore be placed in places where silence is desired, such as in the bedroom or work or study room. When purchasing a watch winder, you can choose from various renowned brands all over the world.
A good example of a brand that originates from the Netherlands is the progressive brand Benson. Benson is a watch winder brand that is not only known for the diversity within the collection, the luxurious appearance and the high quality of the products, but also for the attractive prices.
