What does the modern man look for in a luxury watch? That question will have to be answered personally for each person. After all, every enthusiast has his own preference regarding appearance, the type of timepiece and possible additional functionalities. The material of the watch strap, the type of closure and the size and thickness of the watch case also play a role. However, there are of course also some common denominators. For example, every enthusiast will want a watch on the wrist with a stylish appearance, whether this is a watch with a more sporty or more classic character. In addition, of course everyone wants a good quality watch and most people will not want to pay more than necessary.

For a quality watch with a solid timepiece, with a stylish appearance, you can certainly go to the German watch brand Zeppelin. Zeppelin is an appealing and ambitious watch brand that falls under the watch manufacturer Pointtec, which also has the special brands Junkers and Iron Annie under its wing. Zeppelin is a watch brand that stands out for several reasons. First of all, the brand offers a very varied collection of watches, with which a broad target group can be reached. Within the collection of this brand, you can find watches with a quartz, mechanical or automatic movement from both Swiss and Japanese brands. In addition, the brand offers models with classic leather watch straps, but also designs with more robust stainless steel watch straps.

The appearance of the Zeppelin watches can be called predominantly classic. Each watch also brings a touch of nostalgia with it, because this brand takes us back to the impressive history of aviation, a fact that will appeal to many enthusiasts. The classic nature of these watches is expressed in the traditional dials, historical details and handmade leather watch straps.

The watch winder is one of the most popular watch accessories for automatic watches. This accessory is actually indispensable for the real watch lover and collector. But even if you have one or two automatic watches, a watch winder is incredibly useful.

Automatic watches, if you do not wear them or wind them manually, stop after +- 32-42 hours. The automatic movement in the watch needs movement. If there is no movement, the watch will stop after a certain time. The time, date and possibly other functions are then no longer set correctly. This is inconvenient because when you want to wear the watch again, the settings are incorrect. You then have to wind and set the automatic watch again. This takes time and effort, but above all it does not benefit the durability because you have to open the crown. The crown is a very vulnerable part of a watch and you would rather not have to open it too often. It increases the risk of damage and defects. If you then have to have your automatic watch repaired, you will spend a lot of money.

A watch winder has more advantages than just winding automatic watches. The more luxurious models often have extra functionalities such as storage space for other watches. This way you can store all your watches and jewellery neatly and safely in one place. Another advantage is that turning automatic watches is a beautiful sight. The watch winder as a watch accessory is not only handy but also a “must have” accessory for those who have one or more automatic watches and find it important that these watches are safely supplied with energy and stored neatly.

What should you pay attention to when buying a new watch winder? In this article we will give you a few tips on what to look for, and we will give you a few examples of good watch winders for your automatic watches. We have paid attention to quality, functionality and a beautiful appearance. The models have different capacities and prices, so that you get a better idea of ??what is available.

First, we want to give you a few tips on what to look for when you want to buy a watch winder. Let's start by selecting a good sales outlet with knowledge and experience in the field of this watch accessory. Most jewelers do not know anything about watch winders, simply because they often have no or only one brand in their collection and do not find this accessory interesting to sell at all. Why? Because these watch accessories take up a lot of space in their store and they prefer to sell jewelry and gold. As a result, they often lack knowledge of good brands and the functions of a watch winder. For a good offer and advice, we advise you to choose a good point of sale where they have multiple brands and where they know about watch winders so that you get good advice.

In addition, it is important to choose a respected brand. There are a lot of B-brands on the market such as Barrington, Aevitas, Volta etc. etc. These are often for sale on shady websites with a lot of discount. Don't let these pass you by, because they are not real brands with their own development and production. What these "brands" do is buy models in an Asian factory and then stick their "brand" on them. The quality is often very poor, repairing is almost impossible and the prices are far too high for what you get. If we look at good brands that we recommend, we end up with Bernard Favre, Paul Design, Swiss Kubik, Benson, RDI, Scatola del Tempo, Orbita and Kunstwinder.

Then it is important to choose what you find important in terms of capacity and budget. First you determine how many watches you want to wind and then you adjust the capacity of the watch winder accordingly. For example, if you have two automatic watches, you choose a watch winder for two or three automatic watches. For example, if you have eight automatic watches, you should choose a model that is suitable for winding 8, 9 or 12 automatic watches. Take into account any new watches in your collection in the short or medium term.

Watch winders are available in all price ranges. Do not be tempted by a cheap watch winder of dubious origin, because you will be disappointed in a short time. Cheap often ends up being expensive. We always say that a good watch winder for one automatic watch comes from a respected brand and starts at 200.00 euros.

Higher prices are determined by the capacity, functionality, type of motors and finish level. With a larger capacity, the price increases. A watch winder with many functionalities (such as a start/stop system, remote control, LED lighting and extra storage options) has a higher price than a simple model. A watch winder with Swiss motors is somewhat more expensive than a model with Japanese motors. We advise against buying a model with Chinese motors, these are not good enough in terms of quality. The price is also determined by the finish level. Models with a beautiful finish in terms of wood, leather and glass simply cost more than watch winders with a simple finish level.

Now it is time to give a few examples of the best watch winders of 2024. We start with a model from Benson. The Benson Black Series 2.16.CF is a model that is suitable for winding two automatic watches and offers the possibility to store three other watches. With the modern touchscreen you can set the watch winder exactly to the requirements of the automatic watches. Of course, the Benson Black Series 2.16.CF does not lack LED lighting and flexible watch holders. In this price range, this model is one of the best choices for two watches.

Are you a real watch collector and do you want to wind 12 automatic watches, for example? Then the Benson Black Series Pro 12.19.B is a very good choice. This watch accessory has a beautiful glass door with a perfect view of the rotating watches. The handy touchscreen allows you to operate each rotor individually so that you can choose the best settings for each watch. There is also a drawer in which you can store jewelry and other watches. The Benson Black Series Pro 12.19.B is one of the best watch winders for 12 watches.

As a final example, we would like to mention the Paul Design Gentlemen 4+6 Black Shadow. This watch winder has a very beautiful natural look due to the beautiful wood used for the case. By means of the handy controls, you can set the rotors individually very quickly and easily. Of course, this Paul Design Gentlemen 4+6 Black Shadow watch winder is equipped with LED lighting and a remote control. The Japanese motors ensure virtually silent winding of all automatic watches.

The best watch winder of 2024 is not only determined by the watch winder itself. The sales point with knowledge and experience where you are well helped is just as important. In addition, the price also plays a role. Where many brands only concern themselves with giving discounts, respected brands know how to produce watch winders that retain their value and that the watch enthusiast can enjoy for many years. So don't let the low price alone influence your choice for a new watch winder. Choose a good brand, reliable sales point and a watch winder that best suits your automatic watches in terms of capacity and functionality.
