Premium watch winder

Posted on 24 June 2020 at 3:31 PM

The watch winder is the most popular and convenient accessory for an automatic watch. This device ensures that your favorite automatic watches always run on time by winding them. This means you do not have to set your watch on time and wind up manually every time. The watch winder ensures that the watches rotate gently, which gives the timepiece inside the watch energy. This energy is converted into the "running" of the watch movement, so the watch shows the exact time.

When an automatic watch is not worn sufficiently, it will stop. Stop the time, date and other functions. The use of a watch winder not only prevents the watches from coming to a stop, they also prevent the oil within the movement from being distributed properly, with the risk of damaging the movement as a result. In addition, you no longer have to open the crown to set the time and/or other functions correctly, this considerably reduces the risk of damage to the crown and pin (connection between the crown and the movement).

In other words, using a watch winder to wind automatic watches is useful, but certainly also good for preserving automatic watches. You prefer to put your money in watches instead of service or repairs, right?

There are many different brands and types of watch winders. In this blog article we write about premium watch winders, in other words the best and most luxurious watch winders. What is a premium watch winder? A premium watch winder winds every automatic watch, or several automatic watches, in a safe and professional manner, whereby the watch winder itself is made of the best materials and is equipped with the latest technology. You often find a premium watch winder in the higher price segment.

What features does a premium watch winder have?

If you are looking for a premium watch winder, how do you recognize it? There are many brands that produce affordable watch winders that are an excellent choice. But if you are really looking for top quality, special materials and a beautiful design, there are only a few brands that may call itself a premium watchwinder brand.

Strong and reliable motors

We believe that a premium watch winder should be equipped with strong and reliable motors, each driving one watch. This gives you optimal flexibility for winding automatic watches. Strong and reliable motors come from Japan, Germany and Switzerland. These countries have various manufacturers of watch winding motors and extensive experience in winding technology. These motors also last longer in terms of power and noise level. A good motors is not only powerful but also produces a low sound level. Watch winders with Chinese motors are not the best option. You can often find these on Amazon, Aliexpress and Ebay. Cheap quickly becomes expensive and you do not want to take any risks with your watches.

User-friendly operation

If you spend more money on a high-end watch winder, you can also expect that it can be operated and adjusted easily and comfortably. Operation should be easy to use and respond accurately to user instructions. Almost all premium watch winder brands use operation via a touchscreen or LCD panel. These systems are fast, luxurious and reliable. In addition, they are user-friendly and you can set the watch winder much faster and easier than with traditional push buttons or rotary buttons. You can even control the Chronovision watch winders via your phone with an app and the Paul Design Gentlemen watch winders have a remote control. Is this necessary? No, absolutely not because once you have set the watch winder correctly, you hardly have to operate it every time again. But they are nice extras and make using a watch winder extra fun and easy.

Beautiful materials and high-quality finish

The design is also very important. A premium watch winder must of course also look good. The design must be beautiful and perhaps even an eye catcher. The best materials are used for a high end watch winder. You can think of aluminum, stainless steel, real leather, glass and carbon. There are big differences in different materials. But you can recognize a really good watch winder immediately. This looks high-quality, where the materials catch the eye and the finish is of a particularly high level. A premium watch winder exudes originality, class and luxury. A good example are the Bernard Favre Planet watch winders from Switzerland. This brand produces very special watch winders in which the automatic watch rotates on its own axis and thereby obtains energy. Bernard Favre uses the most beautiful materials, which makes these watch winders absolutely premium.

Another good example is Orbita. The larger watch winders of this brand are made of beautiful wood that has a very exclusive and beautiful appearance. The watch cases of this brand are finished to perfection by traditional craftsmen. Quality and finish are of paramount importance to Orbita watch winders.

Additional functionalities

If you want to buy a premium watch winder, it must of course also distinguish itself from other watch winders in terms of functionalities. The watch winder must have nice extras and details. You can think of bluetooth connection, a special app with which you operate the watch winder or a remote control. You can also think of the powerwinding function that all Benson Black Series watchwinders have. But don't focus on too many luxurious functions, because they often make the watch winder more difficult to operate. The best premium watch winders are very quick and easy to operate because they have a good operating system.

Good after sales

A more expensive and more high end watch winder naturally also comes with a premium service. For the price you pay, you can also expect that any imperfections will be solved quickly and professionally. Even if you need help setting up the watch winder, you can expect professional and friendly help from a premium brand. After all, you not only pay for the product itself, but also for the after sales service.

Most high-end brands have the aftersales in perfect control. In case of a problem you will be helped quickly and friendly. A product can always fail, but the way in which it is repaired often characterizes the brand.

After-sales are closely linked to the dealer network. A premium watch winder brand has fairly good dealer coverage. This allows you to view, test or simply order the watch winders online from a good online dealer. Premium brands never have a lot of dealers, there are often a few per region, province or country. Check the website of the relevant brand where you can go. Or Google on the brand name and contact an online watch winder shop with knowledge and experience.

Which brands produce premium watch winders?

Above we have described which characteristics in terms of motors, operation, materials, functions and after sales a premium watch winder must meet. But which brands producing watch winders that meet these requirements could you take a look at? We have already mentioned brands such as Bernard Favre, Orbita, Chronovision and Benson. But a lesser known brand such as Kunstwinder that manufactures beautiful watch winders by hand or Elma Motion that is known for its high reliability, are certainly brands that you can consider.

Conclusion

Premium watch winders are among the best in the world. They are certainly not cheap, but they do offer everything you need to wind automatic watches safely and professionally. In addition, you get a watch winder with a particularly beautiful design that is made of beautiful materials that are not only beautiful but also high-quality.

Do you want the best for your automatic watches and do you have a good budget for a premium watch winder? Be sure to check out the above brands!

Or does a classic model suit you better? And then of course there is the price. Watches are available in different price ranges. It is not always the case that you have to pay a high price for a watch with real quality. Sometimes you will find real gems for a competitive price and we can help you find one with this blog article.

Meccaniche Veneziane Nereide 4.0 watch 1302012

Then there is an Italian watch brand that definitely deserves your attention! Take a look at the collection of the Italian brand Meccaniche Veneziane.

The modern designs are sporty and are reminiscent of the Rolex look, especially the Nereide watches from this beautiful watch brand. The Meccaniche Veneziane watches are manufactured with great passion and pure craftsmanship in Venice and that is reflected in the end result. The watches exude luxury, quality and class. The nice thing about these watches is that even though they look very expensive, they are very affordable. This makes a quality watch with Rolex look accessible to everyone.

Within the Meccaniche Veneziane collection, we find the new Nereide 4.0 watches. These models are equipped with automatic Seiko movements, where the earlier Nereide models have Swiss movements. This makes the newer Nereide watches extra affordable and with these Japanese movements, good quality is still guaranteed. The Meccaniche Veneziane Nereide models are characterized by high-quality handmade leather straps, anti-reflective sapphire glass, BGW9 Swiss Superluminova, rotating bezel and good water resistance. The leather used for the beautiful watch straps comes from Veneto and Tuscany and is completely processed by hand into a beautiful watch strap.

Also regarding the leather straps we see different shades and colors within the collection. There is a choice of different color combinations in terms of watch straps and dials, but there are also different models where a specific color is continued in the whole watch. This ensures a calm looking design. Characteristic for Meccaniche Veneziane watches are also the accents by means of the stitching on the leather straps. Within this series there is certainly plenty of choice with regard to the appearance of the watches. So you can perfectly match the watches to your choice of clothing, for example your shoes and belt.

As a very special extra is that Meccaniche Veneziane offers the special wooden watch boxes with their watches. These watch boxes are manufactured by an artisan woodworking company in Friuli, according to the old tradition of woodworking. This makes the total package of a Meccaniche Veneziane watch extra special. The combination of Italian class, high-quality automatic Seiko movements, handmade watch bands and beautiful watch boxes makes Meccaniche Veneziane absolutely unique and more than worth a look. But the best is the price, because you buy a Meccaniche Veneziane Nereide 4.0 watch from 499 euros. If you compare this with several other brands in this price range, this Italian watch brand offers a unique price/quality ratio. We cannot actually name a brand that is comparable in quality, functionality, level of finish and price.

This watch brand appeals to us because it is a relatively new watch brand driven by a young team that tries to combine a beautiful design with good materials and a very competitive price. Because why would you pay too much for a nice watch? Meccaniche Veneziane is a watch brand that focuses on modern watches with an Italian look and beautiful finish.

Which watch do you wear during a job interview?

Posted on 4 June 2020 at 7:31 AM

You are looking for a new job and suddenly you get the opportunity to apply for your dream job. A job interview is not only exciting but also important, after all you want that great job! The first impression is very important and is often formed in seconds by the person sitting opposite you. That is why you have taken care of your hair, clothing, shoes and perhaps a nice parfum. Everything has to fit together. But which watch do you wear when applying for a job?

Which watch is best to wear?

You often only get one chance for a first impression, so it has to be right. A watch is an accessory that often catches the eye and says a lot about the person who wears it. When applying for a job, you want your clothing, belt, shoes and watch to be matched. It has to fit together without getting boring.

To determine which watch is best to wear during a job interview, you should ask yourself a few questions; what type of job is it and what type are you?

Which watch best suits the type of job?

Let's get into the job type first. Suppose you apply for a job in construction (for example as a carpenter or construction worker), then you choose a robust watch that looks sporty. You want your sportsmanship and fitness to stand out. In addition, a high-quality and robust watch indicates that you choose quality. The German brand Davosa produces watches that are extremely strong and reliable. They are not cheap, but you do buy a watch that you can enjoy for years and certainly has a sporty look.

When you apply for a job as a salesperson, you can wear a sporty watch depending on the type of products or service you need to sell. But you better choose a modest watch. A watch that radiates confidence and does not stand out too much. If you have to sell something, the customer's attention should not be completely absorbed by your watch. You want your customer to be interested and interested in the product or service you need to sell. A few watch brands that meet these characteristics are Junkers and Iron Annie.

When you apply for an office job you have a wide choice of types of watches. It is important that you look at how your colleagues are dressed. Does everyone wear casual clothes or a tailored suit? If you choose a casual watch, you can easily wear an Eone Time watch. These watches are unique in design, have a sympathetic appearance and are also affordable. Adjust the choice for your watch to this. Of course, the watch should also be comfortable on the wrist when you sit at a desk a lot.

If you are going for a managerial job, we advise you to have a modest watch that exudes style and quality. For example a Swiss made watch. A good example is a watch from Epos or Fortis. Both qualitative brands that have Swiss made timepieces. The designs are relatively classic, stylish and exude class.

What type are you?

In an interview it is important that you are yourself. The employer would like to see this, so that he can decide on this basis that you are the best option for the job and fit within the company. We advise you to wear a watch that suits you best and says something about who you are. If you are outgoing, social and sporty, choose a watch that stands out a bit, for example because of a specific brand, chronograph function, the size of the case or a special color of the dial or watch strap. However, if you are more an understated and calm person, it is best to choose a classic and elegant watch. This type of watch has an understated design, relatively small watch case, white or black dial and often a leather watch strap. A good choice is a watch with an automatic movement. This radiates peace and class.

How do you wear your watch during the job interview?

A watch often stands out. It is a handy and attractive accessory, and often the only piece of jewelry for men. Women often have more choice in terms of jewelry, for example by wearing a beautiful ring, bracelet or necklace.

There are some important points when wearing a watch during an interview. A mistake is quickly made. We give you some tips: make sure your watch is not too present, a gaudy watch does not make a good impression. The watch should absolutely not be too big, but certainly not too small. Choose a watch with an average size, for example with a 40-42 mm case diameter. It is best to match your watch to the rest of your clothing. If you opt for brown shoes and a brown belt, for example, wear a watch with a beautiful brown leather watch strap.

A very important aspect is that the time and date are set correctly. The wrong time and date look sloppy. In addition, you don't want to be late for your job interview, or even come on the wrong day. Also, despite the fact that you really like your watch, don't try to look too much at your watch. This is because it is uninterested or gives the impression that you have to go somewhere else that is more important.

Conclusion

Wearing the right watch for a job interview is extremely important. Think carefully in advance about which type of watch you want to wear, which watch best suits the job and yourself. Make sure that the watch does not stand out too much, is not excessively large or small and that you do not continuously look at your watch.

A job interview is important and can change your life. The first impression is absolutely important because an image of and about you is formed within seconds. By wearing the right watch you are slightly more likely to get a positive result. If you choose the wrong watch, you have less chance on your dream job. And maybe you are lucky and have spent time choosing the right watch, and the man or woman opposite you is very interested in watches. Then you immediately have a nice topic of conversation and this takes the stress off it a bit.

Before setting off for your job interview, take a few minutes to determine which watch you want to wear, and you may have your dream job afterwards!

Diving watches

Posted on 26 May 2020 at 3:07 PM

Most sports enthusiasts like to wear a watch. A sporty watch with a chronograph function, for example, is handy and elegant. There is a wide range of sports watches. Fortunately, if you like to be active in the water, there is also a lot of choice. Diving watches are very interesting, because these watches have to meet many different properties and quality is extremely important.

Fortunately, there are many watch brands that produce very good diving watches. If you like to dive or snorkel and want to wear a watch, you should choose a watch that is suitable for that. There are several things you can look out for as a diver when looking for a dive watch that suits your needs. This article is therefore a blog article for those who are looking for a good diving watch. A diving watch is generally characterized by a sporty appearance, but that is of course not the most important.

One of the most important aspects of a dive watch is logically the water resistance. However, this differs per dive watch and it remains important to compare this data against your requirements and wishes. For example, how many meters does your dive watch have to be waterproof? This can differ for someone who really dives with someone who mainly snorkels. Most dive watches are water resistant to at least 200 meters. This is also the minimum we believe. After all, you don't want to worry about your watch when you want to dive. A dive watch is an instrument that should work perfectly when you are diving.

In addition to the water resistance, there are other properties for a dive watch that are important, some of which are also related to the water resistance. For example, a rotating bezel is important, because of the time measurement. The rotating bezel tells you how long you have been underwater and therefore when you have to come up because you are running out of oxygen. But a screw-down crown is also very important, as this provides extra protection against water. Most dive watches have a screw-down crown. This feature is also useful outside of diving, as a screw-down crown is less fragile than a regular crown.

We find various models of diving watches very interesting and we will share them with you. First of all, the Davosa watch brand. This German brand stands for solidity, reliability and durability and uses Swiss quality timepieces from ETA and Valjoux. A nice additional advantage of this brand is that it is very affordable for the quality of the product. Davosa's Ternos and Argonautic models are very sporty. The Ternos Diver models are waterproof up to 200 meters and the Ternos Pro Black Suit and Ternos Professional up to 500 meters. The watches in this series are equipped with a rotating bezel. The luminous indicators are also a plus. Davosa produces excellent quality diving watches with which you are assured of a high-quality watch for diving. In addition, the Davosa watches are also sporty and have a beautiful design, so you can also wear the watch casual or at a business meeting.

Meccaniche Veneziane is an Italian watch brand that also offers beautiful and sporty diving watches. This brand comes with quality watches with the stylish Italian look. The Nereide models from Meccaniche Veneziane are waterproof up to 200 meters. In addition, they are equipped with a screw-down crown, a rotating bezel and luminous indicators. These sporty watches are equipped with Swiss quality movements. High-quality materials such as stainless steel and sapphire glass are used during the production of these beautiful watches. This combination guarantees a sustainable product. Just like the Davosa watches, you can also wear a Meccaniche Veneziane watch other than during diving as well. The watches have a sporty design and are easy to combine with any clothing style.

Of course we should not forget Epos. This Swiss watch brand has a number of models that are ideal for diving. The Epos Sportive Diver watches are definitely worth a look if you are looking for a good diving watch. In this series from Epos we find tough and robust diving watches that are waterproof up to 500 meters. The combination of such good water resistance, a rotating bezel and a screw-down crown is a golden combination for a real diving watch. Materials used for these watches include stainless steel, sapphire glass and rubber. The nice thing about the Epos watches is that they are completely Swiss made but have remained affordable.

Of course, in addition to the mentioned watches, there are several other brands that produce high-quality diving watches. Basically, it is therefore very important to pay attention not only to the water resistance of a watch, but also to features such as a screwed crown and rotating bezel. In addition, the luminous indicators are an absolute plus.

Remember that a diving watch or a sporty watch is also often worn by watch enthusiasts who do not dive or exercise at all. This type of watch is very attractive because of its good features, sporty designs and often attractive prices. Dive watches are also often used in survival, boating and other sports. The solidity in combination with the sporty character appeals to many people.

If you are looking for a diving watch, take a look at our webshop. Here you will find a wide selection of dive watches that meet all requirements. Moreover, you can easily set your filters and in this way you can easily find various watches that suit your needs. The listed watches from Epos, Meccaniche Veneziane and Davosa are also available in our shop.
