In our blog we write about watches, watch winders and watch boxes. We often highlight the specific brand to provide more information about the background, history and philosophy of the brand. In this blog article we write about a watch brand that has been on the market for several years and replaces the legendary Junkers brand. Junkers has stopped in the form in which it has been active for the past 20 years and has been succeeded by a very nice new watch brand. Namely Iron Annie.

Iron Annie is still a relatively young brand, but comes from the same factory as quality brands Zeppelin and Junkers. These fall under the same watch manufacturer, the Pointtec company. Iron Annie therefore shows some similarities with these brands. Starting with the fact that they deliver high quality at a reasonable price and have become popular with a wide audience. Moreover, Iron Annie, like Junkers for example, knows how to offer a very wide and diverse collection of watches. This is not only due to the appearance of the watches, but also, for example, to the fact that Iron Annie offers watches with different types of timepieces. We are talking about automatic, mechanical and quartz movements. Depending on the watch model, the watches are equipped with a Swiss or Japanese timepiece.

Iron Annie is a watch brand with a great story and a clear passion for the legendary aviation industry. For example, the name of this brand can be traced back to the JU-52 aircraft with registration D-AQUI. At the time, these were admirably baptized Iron Annie by the Americans. These aircraft were known for being robust and reliable. Characteristic was also the distinctive design and the high-quality technology behind the aircraft. The Iron Annie watches also have all these features to offer, so that this name not only brings a bit of nostalgia, but is also very appropriate. Quality and workmanship are high on the priority list in the development of Iron Annie watches. Iron Annie also considers innovation to be of paramount importance, so that with an Iron Annie watch you get a strong piece of technology. Each Iron Annie watch is available with a beautiful leather or Milanese stainless steel strap. This way you can easily have your favorite watch entirely according to your own taste!

The watches within the Iron Annie collection are timeless and of very good quality. The collection consists of different series and Iron Annie offers a lot of choice as mentioned. Pilot's watches are an important part of Iron Annie's collection. These watches have a retro look and a direct reference to the aircraft of yesteryear. The Bauhaus art movement also plays an important role in Iron Annie's collection. This movement stands for minimalism and a modest design. This is reflected in the Iron Annie Bauhaus watches in simple designs and calm-looking dials. Moreover, characteristic of these watches include the thin watch cases. In terms of color, we do see diversity within this series. Different shades of brown, but also blue and black are reviewed. The watches from the Bauhaus series are easy to combine with different types and styles of outfits, partly due to their modest character. The watches in the Bauhaus series are available with different types of timepieces, automatic, mechanical and quartz timepieces. Different models in this special series offer nice extra functionalities. Consider, for example, a glass bottom, power reserve indicator and luminous indicators.

Another beautiful series within the Iron Annie collection is the Iron Annie Jubilaumsmodell series. These watches are specially designed in honor of the 30th anniversary of the watch manufacturer Pointtec. These watches are limited in number of pieces and therefore unique and extra attractive for the enthusiast or collector. Within this series of watches, we have of course also opted for only high-quality materials, such as extremely strong sapphire glass, stainless steel and quality leather. This series also has various extras to offer such as date display, second hand and power reserve display. The appearance of the Iron Annie Jubilaumsmodell watches can best be described as traditional, classic and stylish.

Then there is the Iron Annie Amazonas series. The inspiration for this series of watches can be found in the historical aviation of both passengers and cargo in South America. The watches from the Iron Annie Amazonas series look calm, clear and classic. Classic colors, such as dark blue and dark brown, have also been used. We also see various color styles with regard to the particularly beautiful leather watch straps. There are several models in this series on which you can also see the moon phase. This is not only a nice functionality, but also a nice accent on the dial. In addition, different models also offer various other extra functionalities.

The above series are of course only a part of the beautiful collection of Iron Annie. If you are looking for an affordable watch of high quality and have a passion for the historic aviation industry, the collection of this brand is definitely worth a look. Iron Annie is also a very interesting brand for the real collector. A special watch with a story and a special background cannot be missed there!

We have described the use of a watch winder in various articles. The watch winder is actually the number 1 accessory for automatic watches. Anyone who uses a watch winder to wind his or her automatic watches can no longer do without it. Simply because it is extremely useful if the watches are always neatly running on time and the automatic watches are safely and accessible in one place. We no longer need to explain that we always recommend the owner of an automatic watch to use a watch winder.

In this blog article we write about the new Compact watch winders from the Dutch brand Benson. Benson is a brand that has developed rapidly and is available worldwide at the better jewelers and specialists. Official dealers of Rolex, Breitling, Omega, IWC and many other top watch brands have embraced Benson as a watch accessory for the automatic watches within their collections. In addition to the popular Black Series, Swiss Series and Smart-Tech II collection, Benson has launched an attractively priced collection of watch winders under the name Compact. They have combined the trusted technology with appealing modern designs. The nice thing about this new collection is the incredibly competitive price. If you are looking for a good watch winder for winding 2 automatic watches, you should definitely read on.

The Benson Compact Double watch winder series is perhaps one of the most popular series within the Benson watch winder collection. These watch winders are suitable for winding 2 watches and have a compact and modern design. They are also available in different colors. The Benson Compact Double watch winders have excellent features and an affordable price. In this price range, there is actually no other brand that offers a better watch winder. The Dutch brand Benson combines excellent quality with a beautiful design and fine service. These properties result in the Benson watch winders being highly regarded worldwide.

The Benson Compact Double watch winders are available in the colors black, carbon fiber, white and walnut. In addition, there is a choice of a chrome or gold-colored ring that gives the watch winder an extra chic look. The Compact Double watch winders are compact and can be placed anywhere you want. You can connect the watch winder to mains power via the included adapter.

The Benson Compact Double watch winders are made of wood that absorbs sound but is also very solid. The wooden case ensures that this watch winder is one of the quietest watch winders in this price segment. At the bottom of the Benson Compact Double watch winders you will find soft fabric so that you can place the watch winder anywhere without risk of damage. Of course, these Benson Compact Double watch winders are also equipped with handy and flexible watch holders that are suitable for any type of watch. You click the watch holder with watch on it in the watch winder so that it is securely fastened while turning. It cannot fall out, something you sometimes see with watch winders which use cushions.

The touchscreen is located on the front of the watch winder. Via this touchscreen you can set the watch winder exactly to your liking. You can turn the watch winder clockwise, counter-clockwise and alternately clockwise and then left. You can also set the number of revolutions per day via the touchscreen. This is very important for the proper winding of an automatic watch. The advantage of the touchscreen is that you can set everything quickly and easily and you always have a good overview of the chosen settings. It is also important to mention that this generation of watch winders have built-in LED lighting. This is extra fun in the dark, then you have a nice view of the rotating watches.

There are many advantages that the Benson Compact Double watch winders offer. But the biggest advantages are the luxurious look, the possibility to wind 2 watches individually and the affordable price. However, we must not forget Japanese motors. The motors are the heart of the watch winder. The Japanese motors are durable, almost silent and powerful. If we look at the new Benson Compact Double watch winders, the Benson Compact Double 2.CF watch winder and Benson Compact Double 2.WAS watch winder are our favorites. The first has a carbon fiber exterior and the second has a walnut exterior. Both are beautiful to see. Where one is sporty and modern, the second is more classic and stylish. In short, enough choice for every watch enthusiast!

The Benson Compact Double watch winders come in a beautiful packaging with manual and adapter. The warranty period is at least 2 years.

Every watch enthusiast knows that watches from Switzerland are renowned for their quality and reliability. In addition to Switzerland, Germany has also managed to build a good reputation in this field. When you purchase a watch that has the designation "made in Germany", you can rest assured that you are purchasing a watch of exceptionally good quality. Germany is home to many beautiful and good watch brands. A special brand that comes from Germany and that we would like to highlight in this article is the watch brand Laco. Laco is known for its exceptionally beautiful and high-quality watches. The appearance of Laco watches can best be described as modest and classic. Laco is therefore a traditional brand that has been producing high-quality watches for almost 100 years and has a long history. Laco has also been producing pilot's watches since 1940, with which it has managed to make a name for itself. The German brand is still known for this today. Moreover, Laco knows how to market its watches at an attractive price without compromising on quality, so that they remain affordable for a wider audience.

Laco watches are manufactured by the best professional technicians in Pforzheim. Quality and finish are key. Laco watches generally have a retro look and are therefore timeless in terms of design. The collection of this brand consists of several special series. A first Laco watch that we want to highlight in this article comes from the Laco Classics series, which is characterized by a simple and modest appearance and classic use of color. This concerns the Laco Classics 862068 Jena 40 watch. This watch has a black dial and a very beautiful leather strap, which is also black. This gives the watch a stylish look and is easy to combine with almost any outfit. The watch is equipped with an automatic movement and is waterproof up to 50 meters. In addition, the watch has a date display and second hand. In addition to leather, materials include stainless steel and hardened mineral glass. Finally, the Laco Classics 862068 Jena 40 closes with a buckle clasp.

Another beautiful model by Laco, which comes from the Laco Fliegeruhren collection, is the Laco Fliegeruhren B 861749 Paderborn 42 mm watch. With this watch we also see a lot of use of black, in combination with various quietly colored accents. The beautiful leather watch strap has the color brown. Furthermore, high-quality materials such as stainless steel and sapphire glass have been used. This watch is equipped with an automatic movement and is waterproof up to 50 meters. Furthermore, with this watch you have a second hand, luminous indicators and Superluminova C3. In addition, the watch is equipped with blue markers. This beautiful watch closes with a buckle clasp.

In addition to the two above-mentioned models, Laco of course has many other interesting watches for the real enthusiast. What do you think of the Laco Chronograph series, for example? The watches from this series are of course equipped with a nice chronograph function, but different models from this series have various other extra functionalities. You can think of a second hand, date display, luminous indicators and a stopwatch function. Within this series we see a lot of diversity in appearance, for example with regard to the watch straps. There are watch straps made of leather, but also made of stainless steel or nato. There is also a wide choice available within this series in terms of color use. This applies not only to the watch straps, but also to the dials we see different color combinations. We also see watches with quartz movements, but also watches with automatic movements. Because of the diversity that Laco is able to offer, they will be able to appeal to a wide audience.

Have you ever heard of the Dutch watch brand Van Speyk? This brand has been producing very beautiful watches for over 10 years. If you haven't heard of this watch brand yet, then it's time to read this blog article.

Van Speyk owes its name to Lieutenant Jan Carel van Speyk. This legendary hero of Dutch history was born in 1802 and after following training as a tailor, unexpectedly ends up at sea as a lieutenant. The ship he sailed was raided by Antwerp insurgents and instead of surrendering, Van Speyk decides to blow up the ship and with it himself. Since then he has been seen as a national hero. By choosing the name of the brand, the Speyk watch brand shows that it is proud of the Netherlands and the Dutch identity. Van Speyk originated as a partnership between entrepreneurs. They wanted to market new watches that could add something to the existing watches.

With a Van Speyk watch you automatically choose a good quality watch that is equipped with an automatic movement or a quartz movement. With a watch with an automatic movement, you have a watch that best symbolizes the old craft of watchmaking. Van Speyk is able to emphasize this once again by using a glass bottom for various watch models. With a quartz watch you have a watch that works on battery, with the advantage that it is more resistant to shocks and bumps and is more accurate than an automatic watch. So it has both its advantages and it just depends on what you prefer. Whichever variant you choose, with a Van Speyk watch you always go for quality and buy your watch for an attractive price. After all, Van Speyk is not only a high-quality watch brand, but also very affordable.

We distinguish different series of watches in the van Speyk collection. The Dutch Diver series was introduced in 2015. This series of watches is entirely designed and manufactured in the Netherlands. The watches from the Dutch Diver series are equipped with an automatic movement of the brand Miyota (Citizen). The Dutch Diver watches are also equipped with a stainless steel strap, which gives it a tough look. Watches are available with different colored dials, such as black, white, brown, blue and gray. Also characteristic are the well-arranged dials with a clear display. Only high-quality materials have been chosen, such as sapphire glass and stainless steel. The watches are waterproof up to 200 meters and have several nice extra functionalities. Examples include a rotating bezel, screw-down crown and luminous indicators. The watches in the Van Speyk Dutch Diver series close with a folding clasp.

A second beautiful series from the Van Speyk collection is the Holland series. These watches have a more classic look than the watches from the Dutch Diver series. Characteristic are the beautiful leather black and brown watch straps and the stylish dials, often in black or white. The watches also have a Roman index and a beautiful glass back. The latter gives you the opportunity to see your watch at work. We also see nice extra functions such as date display, a day/night indicator and a moon phase. The eye for detail is also striking, just look at the blue screws used for the timepiece, the relief accent on the timepiece and the van Speyk logo on the rotor, strap and watch case. The watches from the Van Speyk Holland series close with a buckle clasp and are waterproof up to 50 meters.

The third series of Van Speyk watches that we want to bring to the attention is the Dutch Pilot series. This series consists of traditional designs. With the Dutch Pilot series, Van Speyk combines a stylish look with the features of an original pilot's watch. These watches have a Swiss quartz movement from the Ronda brand, which stands for absolute quality. Characteristic of these watches is also the good readability, with a watch case of 45 mm. Again, only high-quality materials have been chosen, such as stainless steel and strong sapphire glass. Furthermore, the watches are waterproof up to 100 meters and close with a buckle clasp. This series of watches also has nice extras to offer. For example, we mention Superluminova, a stopwatch function, luminous indicators and a nice chronograph function. Here too you will find the Van Speyk logo on the watch strap and the back of the watch case.

In short, with a Van Speyk watch you are assured of a beautiful and high-quality watch that will certainly attract attention. The eye for detail, beautiful extras and accents make these watches unique in their kind. Add to that the attractive prices and this makes Speyk an interesting brand for every watch enthusiast. Moreover, Van Speyk knows how to appeal to a wide audience due to the variation in appearance, properties and timepieces of the different watch series.

Benson is one of the most famous watch winder brands worldwide. In a short time this brand has grown into one of the leading brands in the field of winding automatic watches. The Dutch brand has been producing watch winders for years that are praised by many watch enthusiasts for their excellent quality and extensive options. The unique combination of price and quality is one of the great advantages of a Benson watch winder.

The popular Benson Smart-Tech II watch winder series was launched in 2011 and each time equipped with new models. Also now Benson has added 3 new models that succeed the “old” models. This new series of Smart-Tech II watch winders consists of 3 different models, namely for winding 2, 4 or 6 automatic watches. Each Smart-Tech II watch winder has a door with glass for optimal view of the rotating watches. The Japanese motors guarantee virtually silent winding of any automatic watch. The big advantage of these watch winders is that it can be individually set per watch. This makes you extremely flexible in terms of setting the direction of rotation and the number of rotations per day (TPD: turns per day). This is very useful because if you have automatic watches from different brands, they often have to be wound in different ways. With the Benson Smart-Tech II watch winders you have all the options, so you don't have to worry.

Via the modern touchscreen you can set the Benson Smart-Tech II 2.20.B watch winder so that your watches are supplied with energy quickly and easily. In addition, you can activate the LED lighting and power winding function via the touchscreen.

When you open the door of the Smart-Tech II watch winder you will see a drawer in which you can store other watches but also jewelry. This is a nice feature because as a watch enthusiast you like to keep your watches safe. The watch holder of each Benson Smart-Tech II 2.20.B watch winder is adjustable as desired. As a result, you can click almost any automatic watch into the watch winder itself. This is important because it means that the watch can never fall out during winding.

The black wooden cabinet contains 12 layers of paint and a top protective layer. There is a soft fabric on the inside of the watch winder to optimally protect the watches.

As an official dealer, we have all new Benson Smart-Tech II watch winders in stock. We deliver with a 2-year warranty, manual and adapter. Of course, each watch winder is properly packaged and delivered to you by one of our couriers. We ship worldwide and you can pay with iDeal, credit card or Paypal.
