Benson Black Series II 8 Walnut Limited Edition watch winder

Posted on 13 April 2025 at 9:15 AM

Do you have multiple automatic watches and do you not yet own a watch winder? In this article, we would like to list all the advantages of a watch winder for you and also introduce you to a progressive brand in this field, which is certainly worth considering if you want to purchase a good watch winder.

Let us start by explaining what a watch winder is for. An automatic watch can only function when it gets the right movement. This happens when you wear the watch by only the natural movements of the wrist. At this moment, you do not have to worry about this at all. It is different when you do not wear the watch, at this moment this movement is missing and the watch can stop. Apart from the fact that this can cause inaccuracies in the time display, it is of course also frustrating when you have to reset your watch every time you have not worn it for a while. After all, most watches today not only show the time, but are also equipped with a date display or GMT function, for example. Of course, if you have to set all of this again and again, it becomes very annoying.

By purchasing a good watch winder, you can prevent this problem. You simply place your automatic watch (or watches) in the watch winder when you are not wearing it and set the correct program. The watch winder then ensures that the watch or watches are wound up. In addition, the movement that the watch winder provides also ensures that the oil in the watch is distributed correctly, which benefits the lifespan of your watch. The possibility of winding up your automatic watch when you are not wearing it is of course a very important reason to purchase a watch winder.

Watch winder for 6 watches

Posted on 15 March 2025 at 7:32 AM

Within the luxury watch industry, there is a choice of watches with different types of movements. Although the watch with a quartz movement (on battery) has made progress over the years, the automatic watch continues to have a special appeal. Many enthusiasts and collectors even prefer a watch with an automatic movement. With this advanced movement, only movement is needed to make it work. This means that you wind your watch yourself by the natural movements you make with your wrist. It is also a fascinating sight to see an automatic movement working. It is not without reason that there are many automatic watches on the market, with a glass bottom. This allows the real enthusiast to actually see his movement at work.

Benson Black Series 6.16.B watch winder

However, an automatic watch does have a special requirement. When the watch is not worn, it will eventually come to a standstill because the necessary movement is missing. This has annoying consequences. For example, this means that the watch has to be reset. In addition, standstill can cause inaccuracies in the time display. Fortunately, a special watch accessory has been developed for this problem, namely the watch winder. This is a piece of technical ingenuity, with which you can also supply your automatic watch with energy when you are not wearing it. In addition, a watch winder also offers a safe storage place for your watches and in many cases a display to present them in.

Watch winders for 6 watches are available in different price ranges and categories. In this article we focus on two watch winders that are suitable for the real collector. These models offer the space to wind up no less than six automatic watches at the same time. The first design that we would like to discuss in this context is the Benson Black Series 6.16.B watch winder. This is a very beautiful example from the collection of the appealing Dutch brand Benson. Benson is known for the high user comfort, the luxurious appearance and the good price/quality ratio of the products from the collection. These aspects are also clearly evident in this specific model. The Benson Black Series 6.16.B is made of wood and finished in the color black. The finish of this watch accessory can be called sublime. For example, the exterior of this design is provided with no less than twelve layers of paint and a protective lacquer layer. The interior is also covered with a special soft velvet.

In addition to a winding capacity for six automatic watches, the Benson Black Series 6.16.B also offers additional storage space for five other watches or any other jewelry. The basis of this model is formed by Japanese motors of excellent quality. In addition, this design is equipped with a high-end touchscreen, with which you can easily set the watch winder. For example, you can change the direction of rotation and the number of rotations per day per watch. Furthermore, this luxury model offers built-in LED lighting, with which you always have an excellent view of your watch collection. In addition to the programs CW, CC and Alt and an overwind protection, the Benson Black Series 6.16.B also has a USB connection and a speed winding function. With this last option you can wind your watches in a short time. The watch winder works via mains power, using the supplied adapter. This design also comes with a two-year warranty, clear manual and certificate. 

A second model for six automatic watches that we would like to tell you more about is from the German brand Heisse & Söhne. The Heisse & Söhne Chicago 6 70019-225.142 watch winder. This extremely luxurious watch winder is made of wood and finished in high-gloss black. This is completely in keeping with the chic character of this watch accessory. This design can be closed with a glass front that opens to the side and is also equipped with an electronic lock, for an optimally safe way of storing your automatic watches.

The Heisse & Söhne Chicago 6 70019-225.142 is powered by motors of Japanese origin, which are known for their reliable, energy-efficient and low-noise character. With the modern LCD screen, it is possible to operate this design separately per rotor. In addition, this luxurious design is equipped with beautiful built-in LED lighting. With the Heisse & Söhne Chicago 6 70019-225.142 you finally have the programs CW, CC and Alt, an overwind protection and a special sleep mode. With this last functionality you can keep your watches just below the optimal winding level and thus give them some rest. The energy supply of the watch winder itself is done with the help of the supplied adapter. You receive this design with a two-year warranty and clear manual.
