If you have one or more automatic watches, a watch winder is a very handy and useful accessory. The watch winder provides the automatic watches with energy so that the watches are always ready to wear. The watches in the watch winder are wound and run on the correct date and date. You can take the watch out and wear it right away. This is different if you are not wearing an automatic watch. It stops after +- 32 to 40 hours. After the watch has stopped and you want to wear it again, you must first reset the time and date. This is inconvenient and time consuming, especially if you want to quickly wear the watch and go to work, a birthday or exercise.

There are many differences in watches, for example in size and weight. You would like a watch winder that fits your watch a bit. The most important thing is that the watch winder winds your watch properly and safely. What should you pay attention to if you want to buy a watch winder for your automatic watches? Suppose you have a Breitling watch, which watch winder is the best to buy?

Breitling watch

The beautiful Swiss watch brand Breitling appeals to everyone's imagination. This brand produces high-end watches that are highly regarded worldwide. Quality, finesse and beautiful designs make Breitling one of the most popular watch brands in the world. For many boys and men a watch from this beautiful brand is a dream. For some this dream comes true, many others will continue to dream of such a beautiful watch.

Most Breitling watches are automatic. This means that the movement is supplied with energy that causes the hands to rotate, indicating the correct time and date. So you no longer need a battery. The nice thing about an automatic timepiece is that it is one of the purest forms of watch technology. It is a wonderful technique that has been used by the very best watch brands for many decades. You can think of Rolex, IWC, Omega, Tag Heuer and Zenith.

Unfortunately, Breitling watches are not cheap. It is often a considerable expense and that is why you are extra careful with it. You certainly don't want the watch to stop every time because then you have to open the crown to wind the watch again and set the time and date. This is a risk because the crown is one of the most vulnerable parts of an automatic watch. In short, use a watch winder for your Breitling watch. Not only because it is handy, but also because it benefits the preservation and maintenance of your watch.

Which type of watch winder is suitable for a Breitling watch?

A Breitling watch is generally a bit heavier than other watches. The watch cases are somewhat larger and the automatic technology inside the case is somewhat heavier than quartz (battery) technology. The result is that a Breitling watch weighs a bit more. This is important when choosing a good watch winder to wind the Breitling watch properly and safely. The watch is placed on a holder in the watch winder. This holder rotates so that the watch obtains energy. But if a watch is heavier, it gives more downward pressure, which can cause the holder to get out of position. The result is that the watch holder no longer rotates neatly but more in an oval shape. This is not the intention. The solution is to choose a watch winder with a strong motor and a good holding system that can easily wind a heavier watch. Choose a watch winder with a Japanese, German or even Swiss motor. These motors are well known and have enough power to turn a Breitling watch properly. In the longer term, these will also continue to operate with a low sound level. You will enjoy it for a long time!

Breitling watches are often a bit larger than other watches. That is why it is important that you choose a watch winder with a good flexible watch holder, so that the watch fits well on it. A good watch holder can be set per watch in terms of strap length and is large enough for watches with a case diameter of up to 55 mm. One of the most important aspects of a good watch holder is that it clicks into the watch winder. As a result, the watch holder with the watch on it cannot simply fall out of the watch winder. The watch and the watch winder itself could be damaged by this and that is what you certainly don't want. A good watch winder, think of the Benson Black Series watch winders, have watch holders that you click into the watch winder. When you want to remove a watch, press on both sides of the holder so that you can take the holder out of the watch winder. This is a safe and convenient system.

Examples of good watch winders for Breitling watches

If you have one Breitling watch that you would like to wind in a watch winder, the Swiss Kubik Startbox watch winders are a good choice, for example. These models are compact and have a strong Swiss motor. They offer all the options you need to properly wind an automatic watch.

For example, if you have two Breitling watches, you can opt for a double watch winder. This is a watch winder suitable for winding two watches, simultaneously and each watch individually. A good watch winder for a minimal budget is the Benson Compact 2.18.B Leather Black. If you want a little more luxury, you will end up with the Benson Smart-Tech II 2.18.B watch winder or a Paul Design Gentlemen 2+3 watch winder.

If you are lucky enough to find a watch winder for 4 watches for your Breitling watches, then the Benson Black Series watch winder is an excellent choice. These watch winders are available for 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20 and even 24 watches. They are also available in different colors. If you go for an alternative from Benson, you can succeed with a Paul Design Gentlemen 4+6 watch winder or a Heisse & Söhne watch winder.

Also for watch winders with a larger capacity, for example for 6, 8 or 12 watches, you will end up with Benson, Paul Design or Heisse & Söhne. These brands offer an excellent price / quality ratio, so you never pay too much. If you want a high-end watch winder and budget is not an issue, take a look at Orbita, Chronovision or Swiss Kubik. All of these are watch winder brands that produce beautiful watch winders of very good quality.

Conclusion

Given the properties of Breitling watches, you have to look carefully which watch winder you choose to wind watches from this brand. The weight and size of the watch play an important role. If you do not take this into account, it can affect the watch winder, causing it to show annoying noises or the motors to malfunction. Cheap quickly becomes expensive here, and that is certainly not what you want when buying a watch winder.

There are those watch brands that particularly appeal to us. For example because of the history, background, quality and unique designs. Brands such as Davosa and Iron Annie are good examples. But closer to home, in the Netherlands, the watch brand Van Speyk is certainly a brand worth mentioning. Van Speyk produces very nice watches that are also very affordable. The affordability in combination with nice models and good quality makes the Van Speyk watches very popular and a good alternative to more expensive watches.

Origin of Van Speyk watches

This interesting watch brand was founded in 2011 by 6 watch enthusiasts who did not find the watch they were looking for with the regular brands. They were looking for an excellent quality watch with a more traditional design. In addition, the watch must be affordable. Subsequently, the Van Speyk brand was founded and the brand has existed for almost 10 years.

Van Speyk Holland watches

Van Speyk has started with the beautiful Holland series. This series of watches is quite classic and has an automatic movement. The collection offers a choice of different types of watches in terms of GMT, chronograph and moonphase. With a 42 mm case, the watch case is neither too big nor too small. The sapphire glass ensures that the watch always stays beautiful, as sapphire glass is extremely strong and scratch resistant. The see-through bottom provides a view of the timepiece, extra fun for the real watch enthusiast.

All Van Speyk Holland watches are equipped with a black or brown leather watch strap for which an optional folding clasp is available. The dial is traditional in design and gives a calm “look”. The watches in this series radiate style and class.

Van Speyk Dutch Pilot watches

After the introduction of the Holland series, Van Speyk soon presented the Dutch Pilot models. This newer series is a collection of pilot's watches. The watches are characterized by quartz movements, larger watch cases of 45 mm and luminous index. As a result, this watch meets all the features that a good pilot's watch should have. The Van Speyk Dutch Pilot watches are standard equipped with the extremely strong sapphire glass and a beautiful leather strap. This strap is also available in black and brown leather. The water resistance of these watches is 10 ATM, which corresponds to 100 meters.

The good readability and oversized watch case made these Van Speyk Dutch Pilot watches an immediate success. The watches are very similar to IWC watches, which are much more expensive.

Van Speyk Dutch Diver watches

Because a real diver's watch was missing in the Van Speyk collection, the Dutch watch brand launched the Dutch Diver collection. This collection of watches contains robust diving watches that are equipped with an automatic movement from Miyota (Citizen). The specifications of these watches are fine. Each Van Speyk Dutch Diver watch is equipped with sapphire glass, luminous index, rotating bezel, screw-down crown and a water resistance of 20 ATM or 200 meters. Due to these properties, these watches are excellent for swimming, snorkeling and diving. The best thing about these Van Speyk Dutch Diver watches, however, is the price. A watch with these features usually costs twice as much.

The watches from this series are available in different colors and all have a solid stainless steel strap.

Van Speyk Vitesse watches

As the official time sponsor of the football club Vitesse, Van Speyk produced a special Vitesse watch for the real Vitesse fan. On the scoreboard in the Gelredome stadium in Arnhem, Van Speyk was shown as a time sponsor during the home games of Vitesse. The Van Speyk Vitesse watch was available in the Vitesse fanshop, the watch pur sang for the fan who likes to be up to date with a beautiful Vitesse watch.

The Van Speyk Vitesse watch is available in two variants. One variant has a black strap with yellow stitching. The other variant has a yellow watch strap with black stitching. Both watches breathe the atmosphere and club colors of Vitesse. This watch became a great success among Vitesse fans.

Almost everyone has a watch. Where watches used to be one of the few methods of seeing the correct time, nowadays a watch is much more an accessory or status symbol. You can divide the type of watches into three categories in terms of technology; quartz watches, automatic watches and mechanical watches. Each of these types of watches has its own advantages and disadvantages. But the difference in technology is very important in daily use. Wearing a quartz watch is completely different from wearing an automatic watch because the energy supply differs.

In this blog we give a short explanation about these different types of watches and we discuss the question for which type of watches you need a watch winder?

Quartz watches

A quartz watch uses a small battery in the watch. The battery gives the watch energy to make it function. As a result, the time is accurately indicated and you only have to replace the battery when it is empty. A good battery can last up to 2 to 3 years, depending on the use and the functions/properties of the watch. With a quartz watch you actually have little to no worry about the watch, also in terms of maintenance.

A quartz watch shows the time very precisely. It is also little or not sensitive to shocks, which could cause the time to deviate. This is an important advantage over automatic and mechanical watches.

Another important advantage is that quartz watches, due to the simpler technology, are considerably cheaper than automatic and mechanical watches. The technology is relatively simple and is mass produced, so that the cost price, and thus the ultimate retail selling price, remains low.

Automatic watches

A watch with an automatic timepiece requires movement of the rotor (part of the timepiece) to activate and function the timepiece. The timepiece can also be wound manually by turning the crown.

By wearing the watch, the timepiece continues to be supplied with energy and continues to function endlessly, until the watch is no longer worn or wound up. In that case, the clock will stop and the watch will stop running. In other words, if you don't wear the watch for a period of + - 30-40 hours (this is the power reserve of most automatic watches), it will come to a standstill. When the watch has come to a standstill, you must first set the time, date and any other properties correctly and then provide the watch with energy again. You can do this by gently shaking the watch or by winding it through the crown. This is a disadvantage of automatic watches. While the technology is very authentic and original. Together with mechanical watches, automatic watches are the purest form of watch technology.

It is precisely this last element that attracts so many watch enthusiasts to buy an automatic watch. An automatic watch is pure, stylish and has a beautiful technique. That is why the very exclusive watch brands such as IWC, Rolex, Breitling etc etc actually only produce automatic (or mechanical) watches. Every watch collector and/or watch enthusiast has automatic watches in his or her collection.

Mechanical watches

The most original type of watch, in terms of technology, is the mechanical watch. This type of watch is actually the origin of all watches, after which automatic and quartz technology were introduced. The mechanical watch has a movement that is only supplied with energy by manual winding via the crown. A spring in the timepiece is tensioned by the winding and when it relaxes the watch starts running. An age-old and above all beautiful system. The technology is comprehensive and complex, which makes these types of watches more expensive compared to quartz watches.

Mechanical watches are still sold but are becoming less popular because an automatic watch actually offers the same with the added advantage that the watch obtains energy by wearing it. An automatic watch is actually a bit more user-friendly. However, the true watch enthusiast will certainly have a mechanical watch in his or her watch collection.

What type of watch is a watch winder suitable for?

After the explanation about the different types of watches, we now come to the question that this blog article is about. For which type of watch do you need a watch winder? To answer this question, we must first briefly explain what a watch winder is.

A watch winder is a device that has become very popular as an accessory for automatic watches. You place an automatic watch in a watch winder and it turns the watch gently, in a certain direction of rotation and with a certain number of revolutions per day. This gives the movement energy inside the watch (the spring is tensioned) so that it keeps running. You do not have to reset the time and date, because the watch does not stop running. A watch winder is therefore extremely handy and saves you a lot of time and effort. In addition, a watch winder ensures a good oil distribution within the timepiece by rotating the watch. This means you also maintain your watches well.

There are all kinds of different brands and types of watch winders. You can think of the Dutch brand Benson, Swiss Kubik from Switzerland or Orbita from the United States. Each brand has its own advantages, disadvantages and price level. But for which type of watches do you need a watch winder? This question is easy to answer; a watch winder is only suitable for automatic watches. The watch winder turns the automatic watches so that the spring inside the timepiece is tensioned so that the watch keeps running. Because the watch winder functions in a certain program of turning and resting, the spring will be tensioned and relaxed. Just like you would wear the watch yourself. A watch winder simulates wearing an automatic watch. This makes the use of a watch winder safe, convenient and also better for the preservation of your automatic watches.

A watch winder is not suitable for a quartz watch. A quartz watch uses a battery as energy supply and does not have an automatic movement that requires movement. Turning a quartz watch in a watch winder makes no sense. An important addition, a question we get more often, is that Seiko Kinetic watches are also not wound up in a watch winder. The Seiko system is not a pure form of automatic technology. The Seiko Kinetic watches have a kind of automatic movement that then stores its energy in a small battery. An ingenious and effective system, but not suitable for use in a watch winder.

A watch winder is also not suitable for a mechanical watch. Simply because a mechanical watch does not have a timepiece where the spring is tensioned by movement of the watch. The spring of a mechanical watch is manually tensioned by winding the crown. Turning a mechanical watch in a watch winder therefore makes no sense, the timepiece will not receive any energy.

A watch winder is the “must have” accessory for automatic watches. Using a watch winder is easy, functional and safe. In addition, rotating watches in a beautiful watch winder, from Bernard Favre, for example, looks beautiful. As mentioned, there are many different types of watch winders. You can opt for a simple but functional watch winder, or you can opt for a luxurious and stylish watch winder. Watch winders start from + - 100 euros and go up to 10,000 euros. The price strongly depends on the brand, the type of motors, the capacity of the watch winder (how many watches can be wound in it) and the use of materials.

So to answer the main question of this blog article. A watch winder is only suitable for winding automatic watches!

With a nice automatic watch or multiple automatic watches, only a watch winder with class and style is good enough. Where else in the world do they know the art of producing high-quality luxury products better than in Italy? Italy is not only known in this area for design with that little bit extra.
