Tips for choosing a watch winder
When looking for a quality watch winder for your automatic watch or watches, you will discover a wide range of options. You can choose from models featuring various types of motors, designs crafted from a diverse array of materials, and units with varying capacities. Naturally, the price-to-quality ratio also plays a significant role. In this article, we would like to introduce you to several watch winder series from the Dutch brand Benson, models well worth a closer look if you are seeking a high-quality accessory. Benson is a particularly compelling brand if you appreciate luxurious designs, attractive extra features, and excellent value for money.

The Benson Black Series II is the first series of watch winders we would like to highlight. Models in this series rank among Benson’s most luxurious offerings; they are entirely handcrafted and available in a variety of stylish finishes. With capacities ranging from 2 to 8 automatic watches, the Benson Black Series II watch winders are ideally suited for storing and winding extensive watch collections. Moreover, these accessories offer not only ample winding capacity but also additional storage space for other watches or jewelry. This special storage compartment is located beneath the luxurious soft-close lid at the top of the unit. The models feature a glass front door, allowing you to view your watches clearly while keeping them protected from elements such as dust and moisture.
The Benson Black Series II is operated via an energy-efficient touchscreen. You can easily set the desired rotation direction and number of turns per day for each rotor, ensuring the perfect winding method for every individual watch. Thanks to integrated multi-colour LED lighting, the watches are attractively illuminated in a colour of your choice and remain clearly visible throughout the day. Benson utilizes powerful Japanese motors capable of winding automatic watches from a wide range of brands and types. The Benson Black Series II designs also feature a practical start/stop system that automatically switches off the motors as soon as the glass door is opened. Furthermore, the Benson Black Series II models are equipped with CW, CC, and Alt rotation programs, a USB connection, overwind protection, and a power-winding function. The watch winders come complete with a remote control for optimal user convenience.
The second Benson series we would like to introduce is the Benson Black Series II Pro. This is an ultra-luxurious line of watch winders, specially developed for the enthusiastic collector with an extensive array of automatic watches. These models accommodate 12, 16, 20, or even 24 automatic watches and include a handy drawer for storing mechanical or quartz watches, other jewellery, or items such as cufflinks. These elegant Benson watch winders are handcrafted with meticulous attention to finish and detail; choosing a design from this line ensures a professional presentation for your collection of automatic watches.

The Benson Black Series II Pro watch winders are powered by high-quality Japanese motors. These are reliable and operate very quietly, making the watch winders suitable for use in a bedroom or office, for example. The motors always start and stop in the 12 o'clock position, perfectly complementing the luxurious nature of these watch accessories. Thanks to the start/stop system, the motors automatically switch off when the glass door is opened, helping to prevent damage to the motors and gearboxes.
The Benson Black Series II Pro is operated via a high-end touchscreen, allowing you to set the rotation direction and the desired number of rotations per day for each watch.

Built-in multi-colour LED lighting allows you to spotlight your watches in a colour of your choice. The lower section of each Tower offers additional space for other watches (mechanical or quartz) or jewellery, keeping everything neatly organised in one place.
