Do I need a watch winder?

Posted on 10 July 2021 at 7:49 AM

The enthusiast of automatic watches recognizes the problem that his or her automatic watches stop. The movement inside the watch needs movement to function. It gets this movement by wearing the watch or manually winding the crown. But if an automatic watch is not moved by wearing it and is not wound manually, it will stop. This is inconvenient and undesirable because the time, date and/or other functions of the watch are no longer correct. You will then need to reset the watch. This is inconvenient and takes time. But you can also damage the automatic watch during these actions. After all, the crown and pin (connection between crown and timepiece) are very vulnerable and can break fairly quickly. In that case, you have to have your automatic watch repaired, which can lead to considerable costs.

Fortunately, there is a solution for the downtime of automatic watches, namely the use of a watch winder. A watch winder is a device that rotates automatic watches slowly so that the timepiece obtains energy. This watch accessory simulates wearing the watch on your wrist. By placing automatic watches in a watch winder and winding them, they never stand still again. This is not only important for the preservation and durability of the automatic watch, but also very convenient and easy. You never have to worry about whether your favorite watch is ready to wear. Your automatic watch is always on time and is immediately ready to wear on your wrist. This of course saves a lot of hassle and time. Almost every watch enthusiast with multiple automatic watches uses a watch winder. In this article we will deal with the following question: do I need a watch winder?

Actually, we have already given the answer to the above question in the intro. The use of a watch winder is absolutely recommended if you have one or more automatic watches in your possession, want to take good care of them and always have them ready to wear. This watch accessory not only ensures the preservation of automatic watches but is also very handy. Don't forget that when your automatic watches are neatly kept together in a watch winder, you always have the watches at hand and they are neatly and safely stored together. You can also store and protect your watches in this watch accessory, but you can of course also do this in a beautiful watch box. However, this does not provide your automatic watches with energy at the same time.

If you own a few beautiful automatic watches, for example from Rolex, Omega, Breitling, Patek, Zenith or Seiko, then you want to maintain them well, right? You must have spent a nice amount on the purchase of the watches themselves. Then it makes sense that you also buy a good watch winder and do not save on the purchase. After all, you want to properly maintain and store your automatic watches. Therefore, always choose a good watch winder from a well-known brand. This assures you of a safe and professional excitement. This is the most important thing, because you want the best for your watches.
Don't forget that a watch winder is just very cool! It is the watch accessory for automatic watches. If you like watches, there are few things more fun than looking at your collection and seeing the automatic watches spin and be supplied with energy. There are watch winders with all kinds of special functions such as LED lighting, fingerprint locks, special designs and glass doors so that you have a perfect view of the watches. In short, a watch winder provides so much more than just energy to automatic watches.

You should of course decide for yourself whether you really need a watch winder. A good watch winder is not cheap, but it is an excellent accessory for automatic watches. As described, it has a good influence on the preservation and maintenance of automatic watches and is a very useful accessory. In addition, it is of course very cool if you see your watches spinning in a beautiful watch winder and your friends standing next to you with open mouths and jealous glances!

Eone Time watches

Posted on 6 July 2021 at 10:17 AM

Some watch brands appeal to us extra because of the background and a special story in the creation of the specific brand. A brand that certainly has our special attention is Eone Time. This watch brand is a very special brand with an important social impact. A good reason for us to tell you more about Eone Time watches and why we like this brand so much.

The birth of the American watch brand Eone Time was in 2013 with the help of a kickstarter campaign. No less than 15 times the amount that was envisioned at the time was raised. Eone Time is therefore a special watch brand with a special story. Basically, the brand originated from friendship. The founder of Eone Time, Hyungsoo Kim, saw in his circle of friends that people with a visual impairment had a very limited choice when it comes to watches. These watches often spoke the time aloud when consulted, which affected the wearer's privacy. Moreover, the watches that were suitable for the blind and visually impaired were not always trendy or looking attractive at the time. Because Hyungsoo Kim also allowed people with a visual impairment a watch that was not only functional, but also aesthetically attractive, he focused on developing his own watch brand.

The watches from Eone Time are therefore very handy to consult for the blind and partially sighted due to the unique design, but are also hip, stylish and elegant. This way, people with a visual impairment can also wear a nice watch. In addition, the watches from Eone Time are also very well suited for people without a visual impairment. The design of Eone Time watches is very recognizable and 'one of a kind', due to the unique design. The first watch launched by this ambitious watch brand is the Eone Time Bradley. This watch model is named after Brad Snyder, an army officer who lost his sight during a mission. Brad Snyder did not give up as he managed to win several silver and gold medals while participating as a swimmer in the Paralympics. This special story makes the Eone Time watches extra unique and will certainly appeal to many, with or without a visual impairment.

Eone Time uses very reliable quartz movements for its watches. The advantage of a quartz timepiece over an automatic timepiece is that they are more resistant to shocks and impacts and are also more accurate in the time display. The Eone Time collection is therefore suitable for the blind and visually impaired, but also very hip and modern and consists of various cool designs. What is also striking is the choice of different striking colors and the diversity in the use of materials with regard to the watch straps. For example, there are watches with straps of, for example, leather, canvas and stainless steel available. When we look at the watch case, we see that the use of titanium has been chosen for a reason. Titanium is also often used in the aircraft industry, because it is so strong, reliable and durable. In addition, it has the great advantage that it is very light in weight, which certainly contributes to the high wearing comfort of the watches from Eone Time.

With an Eone Time watch you definitely have something interesting on your wrist. Due to the special way of displaying the time, the watches from Eone Time are ideal for people with a visual impairment, but also the enthusiast without a visual impairment will wear an Eone Time watch with pride. The relief on the dial and the 2 balls that indicate the time make it easy for everyone to quickly consult the time. The design of Eone Time is original, modern and trendy and can be worn with many outfits, it will be a real eye-catcher on your wrist. Due to the many different colored straps (think of yellow, black, various shades of brown, green and blue), there is an Eone Time watch for every personal taste and preference.

With the Eone Time watches, Hyungsoo Kim has found a gap in the market and also knows how to help a large group of people who previously could not find the watch that suited them. Due to the original design, the watches from Eone Time have their own identity and are recognizable everywhere.

Epos watches

Posted on 28 June 2021 at 3:32 PM

Switzerland is home to many beautiful watch brands, several of which have a special history. The beautiful brand Epos is one of them. Epos is a well-known Swiss brand that produces watches of very high quality. Epos has been around for almost a century and has done a lot over the years to be and remain innovative. Epos is therefore known as an innovative brand. In addition, Epos offers the well-known high Swiss made quality. The watches from Epos are equipped with Swiss made timepieces that form a solid basis for a high-quality watch. Moreover, the brand manages to remain affordable, so that a high-quality watch is also available to a wider audience. In that respect, Epos watches are comparable to larger brands, but better priced. Another advantage is that a smaller brand such as Epos pays extra attention to quality and finish. In short, it is certainly interesting to learn more about Epos watches. Perhaps you will soon wear a beautiful watch from this beautiful brand.

In the Epos collection we find chic watches, divided into different series. Each specific Epos watch is handcrafted with the greatest care by skilled watchmakers. They have a sublime eye for detail and a perfect finish. A beautiful series of watches from Epos, which is characterized by a classic and traditional look with a modest approach, is the Epos Emotion series. In this series we see both beautiful leather watch straps and sturdy stainless steel straps. In terms of color, we see dark brown, classic blue and white, among other things. In addition, there are watches with extra functionalities, such as a date display and second hand. A transparent bottom has been chosen for various models, so that the real enthusiast can see his watch at work. This will be an absolute plus for many. As an example of a watch from the Emotion series, we mention the Epos Emotion 3390.152.20.34.27 watch. This watch is fitted with a beautiful dark brown leather strap. The dial is gray and the numbers are clear and in retro style. This is a nice example of a real pilot's watch with a traditional approach. The watch has a date display and second hand. Furthermore, the watch is water resistant to 50 meters and closes with a buckle.

Another series from Epos that should definitely be mentioned is the Epos Originale series. The watches in this series are designed slightly more tightly than those in the Emotion series, but still with a classic look. We also see very beautiful leather straps here, but on the other hand also elegant stainless steel straps. Epos again opts for a see-through bottom within this series of watches. In terms of color, we see black, silver and classic blue. A good example of a watch from this series is the Epos Originale 3437.132.20.16.30 watch. This watch is characterized by a fine stainless steel strap and a classic blue dial. Of course, the watch is equipped with an automatic Swiss ETA movement. Furthermore, this watch has a see-through back, date display and a second hand. The watch is water resistant to 50 meters and closes with a folding clasp.

The Epos Sportive series houses, as the name suggests, beautiful sporty models. On the black or blue dials, a sporty touch is given to the whole with yellow accents. Watch straps made of stainless steel, but also rubber, for example, make the watches robust and tough. In this series you will find watches that are water resistant up to 200 meters, but there are also models in between, such as the Epos Sportive 3441.131.20.55.55 Diver watch, which are water resistant up to 500 meters. These are perfectly suited for the real divers among us. Very nice extra functionalities such as a screw-down crown, rotating bezel, helium valve and a sandblasted dial are also featured. If you are looking for a beautiful and, above all, solid and reliable sports watch, this series is really worth a look. A specific watch from the Epos Sportive series is the Epos Sportive 3441.131.96.56.30 Diver. This watch falls under the diving watches and is therefore also water resistant up to 500 meters. The watch strap is made of stainless steel and the movement and bezel are bright blue in color. Yellow accents have been used for a playful effect. This watch features a second hand, a date display, rotating bezel and screw-down crown. With an automatic movement from the Swiss brand ETA, you know that everything is in the right place with this watch.

With a watch from Epos you are assured of quality. Every Epos watch is carefully checked and tested before it is delivered to a customer. Epos therefore only wants to deliver the best of the best.

Van Speyk watches

Posted on 15 June 2021 at 6:54 PM

A beautiful watch not only shows the exact time, it is also a piece of jewelry and is also a kind of status symbol for many men. In addition, there are collectors who collect special and exclusive watches as a hobby. When you choose a quality watch for your collection or for daily wear, you do this with care. Not only the quality plays a role, but also the origin of the watch and the story behind a watch brand can play a role in this. Now there are several Swiss and German watch brands that are loved by many watch enthusiasts and/or collectors. Of course, Switzerland is known as the one and only watch country and Germany follows as a close second in terms of quality, reliability and solidity. Yet our own little country, the Netherlands, also has a special and young brand that we would like to bring to your attention. We are talking about the Dutch watch brand Van Speyk.

Van Speyk was created by a collaboration between a few entrepreneurs who did not find the watch they were looking for among the existing watches. The name of this special brand refers to the Dutch navigator Jan van Speyk. Van Speyk was nicknamed "the terror of the robbers". He blew up his ship in 1831 to prevent it from falling into the hands of Belgian insurgents and was killed himself. With this story, the Speyk brand gets a nostalgic touch and refers to Dutch history. Many watch enthusiasts will feel attracted to this brand because of this.

When we take a closer look at the Van Speyk collection, we distinguish different series of watches and we also see a great diversity in the appearance of the watches. For example, you can find both modern and classic-looking watches, but the collection also houses somewhat tougher and more sporty models. In addition, you can also go to Van Speyk for real diving watches and pilot watches. Because Van Speyk offers this variation and at the same time delivers quality, but also remains very affordable, the brand is accessible to a wide audience. After all, at Van Speyk you can find watches in nice designs with a solid timepiece and that for a very competitive price. It is also particularly nice that various Van Speyk watches have a transparent bottom. Ideal for the real enthusiast who likes to see the movement of his watch at work.

The Dutch Diver series from the Van Speyk collection offers beautiful diving watches. These are water resistant up to 200 meters and equipped with a screw-down crown, rotating bezel and an automatic Citizen movement by Miyota. In addition, these watches offer nice extra functionalities such as SuperLuminova, date display and luminous indicators. In terms of material, stainless steel and extremely strong sapphire glass have been used, among other things. Different colors of dials are available, such as black, grey, white, brown and blue and the stainless steel watch strap gives the watches a cool and sporty look.

The next series that houses the Van Speyk collection is the Van Speyk Holland series. Here we see watches with a classic and traditional look. These watches are equipped with a beautiful leather watch strap in black or different shades of brown. Each model from the Holland series is also available with a black or white dial, so that you can get your watch exactly how you want it. These watches are equipped with various extras that emphasize the feeling of luxury that these watches want to give you. For example, the Van Speyk logo can be found on the watch strap, the watch case and the rotor. In addition, different models are available with a day/night indicator and blue screws in the movement.

The third series that we would like to mention from the van Speyk collection is the Van Speyk Dutch Pilot series. This is a very attractive series of watches within the collection. Within this series we find beautiful pilot watches with a traditional look and a nostalgic approach. Here too we see beautiful quality leather watch straps in the colors brown and black. The stitching is visible on these straps, which emphasize the retro look of the watches. The Van Speyk Dutch Pilot watches are equipped with a quartz movement of the brand Ronda. These watches are water resistant up to 100 meters. We also see beautiful functionalities in the various models such as SuperLuminova, blue index and hands and luminous indicators.

The above series are just a few of the Van Speyk collection. So it is definitely worth taking a closer look at the collection. With a watch from Van Speyk you choose a watch of high quality from Dutch soil. Whether your style is more classic, sporty or casual, you can always go to Van Speyk. There is also a choice in the field of various types of timepieces. So choose your favorite now! Each van Speyk watch comes in a luxurious official box, with a 2 year warranty and a manual.
