Do I need a watch winder?

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.
