The best watch winder of 2024

Posted on 17 October 2024 at 6:24 AM

The watch winder is one of the most popular watch accessories for automatic watches. This accessory is actually indispensable for the real watch lover and collector. But even if you have one or two automatic watches, a watch winder is incredibly useful.

Automatic watches, if you do not wear them or wind them manually, stop after +- 32-42 hours. The automatic movement in the watch needs movement. If there is no movement, the watch will stop after a certain time. The time, date and possibly other functions are then no longer set correctly. This is inconvenient because when you want to wear the watch again, the settings are incorrect. You then have to wind and set the automatic watch again. This takes time and effort, but above all it does not benefit the durability because you have to open the crown. The crown is a very vulnerable part of a watch and you would rather not have to open it too often. It increases the risk of damage and defects. If you then have to have your automatic watch repaired, you will spend a lot of money.

A watch winder has more advantages than just winding automatic watches. The more luxurious models often have extra functionalities such as storage space for other watches. This way you can store all your watches and jewellery neatly and safely in one place. Another advantage is that turning automatic watches is a beautiful sight. The watch winder as a watch accessory is not only handy but also a “must have” accessory for those who have one or more automatic watches and find it important that these watches are safely supplied with energy and stored neatly.

What should you pay attention to when buying a new watch winder? In this article we will give you a few tips on what to look for, and we will give you a few examples of good watch winders for your automatic watches. We have paid attention to quality, functionality and a beautiful appearance. The models have different capacities and prices, so that you get a better idea of ??what is available.

First, we want to give you a few tips on what to look for when you want to buy a watch winder. Let's start by selecting a good sales outlet with knowledge and experience in the field of this watch accessory. Most jewelers do not know anything about watch winders, simply because they often have no or only one brand in their collection and do not find this accessory interesting to sell at all. Why? Because these watch accessories take up a lot of space in their store and they prefer to sell jewelry and gold. As a result, they often lack knowledge of good brands and the functions of a watch winder. For a good offer and advice, we advise you to choose a good point of sale where they have multiple brands and where they know about watch winders so that you get good advice.

In addition, it is important to choose a respected brand. There are a lot of B-brands on the market such as Barrington, Aevitas, Volta etc. etc. These are often for sale on shady websites with a lot of discount. Don't let these pass you by, because they are not real brands with their own development and production. What these "brands" do is buy models in an Asian factory and then stick their "brand" on them. The quality is often very poor, repairing is almost impossible and the prices are far too high for what you get. If we look at good brands that we recommend, we end up with Bernard Favre, Paul Design, Swiss Kubik, Benson, RDI, Scatola del Tempo, Orbita and Kunstwinder.

Then it is important to choose what you find important in terms of capacity and budget. First you determine how many watches you want to wind and then you adjust the capacity of the watch winder accordingly. For example, if you have two automatic watches, you choose a watch winder for two or three automatic watches. For example, if you have eight automatic watches, you should choose a model that is suitable for winding 8, 9 or 12 automatic watches. Take into account any new watches in your collection in the short or medium term.

Watch winders are available in all price ranges. Do not be tempted by a cheap watch winder of dubious origin, because you will be disappointed in a short time. Cheap often ends up being expensive. We always say that a good watch winder for one automatic watch comes from a respected brand and starts at 200.00 euros.

Higher prices are determined by the capacity, functionality, type of motors and finish level. With a larger capacity, the price increases. A watch winder with many functionalities (such as a start/stop system, remote control, LED lighting and extra storage options) has a higher price than a simple model. A watch winder with Swiss motors is somewhat more expensive than a model with Japanese motors. We advise against buying a model with Chinese motors, these are not good enough in terms of quality. The price is also determined by the finish level. Models with a beautiful finish in terms of wood, leather and glass simply cost more than watch winders with a simple finish level.

Now it is time to give a few examples of the best watch winders of 2024. We start with a model from Benson. The Benson Black Series 2.16.CF is a model that is suitable for winding two automatic watches and offers the possibility to store three other watches. With the modern touchscreen you can set the watch winder exactly to the requirements of the automatic watches. Of course, the Benson Black Series 2.16.CF does not lack LED lighting and flexible watch holders. In this price range, this model is one of the best choices for two watches.

Are you a real watch collector and do you want to wind 12 automatic watches, for example? Then the Benson Black Series Pro 12.19.B is a very good choice. This watch accessory has a beautiful glass door with a perfect view of the rotating watches. The handy touchscreen allows you to operate each rotor individually so that you can choose the best settings for each watch. There is also a drawer in which you can store jewelry and other watches. The Benson Black Series Pro 12.19.B is one of the best watch winders for 12 watches.

As a final example, we would like to mention the Paul Design Gentlemen 4+6 Black Shadow. This watch winder has a very beautiful natural look due to the beautiful wood used for the case. By means of the handy controls, you can set the rotors individually very quickly and easily. Of course, this Paul Design Gentlemen 4+6 Black Shadow watch winder is equipped with LED lighting and a remote control. The Japanese motors ensure virtually silent winding of all automatic watches.

The best watch winder of 2024 is not only determined by the watch winder itself. The sales point with knowledge and experience where you are well helped is just as important. In addition, the price also plays a role. Where many brands only concern themselves with giving discounts, respected brands know how to produce watch winders that retain their value and that the watch enthusiast can enjoy for many years. So don't let the low price alone influence your choice for a new watch winder. Choose a good brand, reliable sales point and a watch winder that best suits your automatic watches in terms of capacity and functionality.

Benson Compact Triple watch winders

Posted on 10 October 2024 at 10:55 AM

There are many lovers of luxury watches all over the world today. It is not without reason that there are many watch brands that offer high-quality watches in the most beautiful designs. In addition to the watches themselves, watch accessories also play a major role in watchmaking. After all, you want to be able to offer your watch or watches the best in terms of care and storage options as a true enthusiast.

Benson Compact Triple 3.CF watch winder

Which watch accessory is best suited for you as the owner of one or more luxury watches depends on the type of watches you own. For example, a good watch box or watch case is indispensable for storing watches with a mechanical or quartz movement. A mechanical watch functions with the help of manual winding and a quartz watch needs a battery to function.

However, if you own one or more automatic watches, a watch box or case is not sufficient. An automatic watch depends on movement to continue to function. If you have an automatic watch on your wrist, this is ideal. The natural movements of the wrist are currently winding your watch, without you having to do anything extra. However, when you are not wearing your automatic watch, this is a different story. If you were to store the watch in a watch box or case, the necessary movement is missing. The watch will eventually come to a standstill. This means that you have to reset the watch and can also make your watch less accurate. To prevent this, choose a good watch winder for storing and winding your automatic watches.

A watch winder winds your watch, often by means of rotation, when you are not wearing it. In this way, your automatic watch is always ready for use. There are also watch winders available that not only offer a certain capacity for a number of automatic watches to be wound, but also extra storage space. These models are ideal if you own both automatic and quartz and/or mechanical watches. In these designs, you can store all your watches neatly and clearly together. When you are looking for a suitable watch winder, you choose a model with a capacity that matches the number of watches you own. In addition, it is important to choose quality, so that a safe and reliable winding of your automatic watches is guaranteed. If you also do not want to pay too much, a brand that offers watch winders with a very good price/quality ratio is a perfect choice. A good example of a brand with an impressive collection of high-quality watch winders at an attractive price is the Dutch brand Benson.

The Benson brand offers many different designs within the collection. A good example of a series from Benson is the Benson Compact Triple series. Within this series we find models that are compact in design and therefore very handy. These models offer the space to wind three automatic watches at the same time. The beautiful Benson Compact Triple designs are made of wood and finished very carefully. Within this series there is a choice of models in different colors, such as black, white and wood color. The inside of these designs is black in color and equipped with high-quality flexible watch holders. These holders ensure that almost any size automatic watch can be easily placed in the watch winder. The basis of the Benson Compact Triple models is formed by high-quality Japanese motors. These ensure an extremely reliable and solid base. In addition, these motors are very powerful, energy-efficient and quiet in use.

The Benson Compact Triple watch winders are also equipped with a handy and modern touchscreen. This makes it easy to change the settings regarding direction of rotation and the number of rotations per day. These settings can be determined per watch, so that each individual watch receives the most suitable way of winding. Another great feature of these Benson watch winders is the beautiful built-in LED lighting. This transforms your watch winder into a luxury display for presenting your automatic watches. The Benson Compact Triple models are also equipped with the CW, CC and Alt programs and overwind protection. This last-mentioned feature offers your automatic watches protection against overvoltage. In addition, these Benson Compact Triple watch winders also have a power winding function. This allows you to wind your automatic watches in a short time.Finally, these Benson models operate via mains power, using an adapter.
