How do you choose the best watch winder?
If you are a fan of automatic watches, you naturally want to enjoy your watch collection for as long as possible. It is also important that the watches keep running accurately. Since you do not always wear your watches, the mechanism must be provided with energy by motion in a different way. A watch winder is an indispensable accessory. A watch winder is not only very useful, but it is also a beautiful sight when the automatic watches rotate.
A true collector wants the best for his automatic watches. A good watch winder provides the right energy and oil supply within the movement, and protects against wear and damage. In addition, how it looks is also important. We see a lot of creativity in design, diverse use of materials and even influences from for example art. A carefully selected watch winder can also become an eye-catcher in your interior and at the same time a valuable addition to your watch collection. If you are looking for the right watch winder that fits your needs, then go for quality. It certainly wise to go to an expert to purchase a good watch winder. Forget cheap watch winders from for example Ebay and Amazon. In this case, cheap can quickly lead to an expensive purchase. Good advice and the right information is worth a lot.
In addition, the country of origin is important to pay attention to. For example, there is a choice of watch winders with Japanese motors (excellent price/quality ratio), German motors (excellent technology) and Swiss motors (best on the market). There are differences between the motors especially in terms of durability and sound level. Therefore do not choose a watch winder with a Chinese motor. In addition, the best choice is a functional watch winder, which has many functions and therefore many options for winding the watch. Think of adjustable direction of rotation and various steps in terms of number of revolutions per day (TPD: turns per day).
The capacity of the watch winder that you choose must be appropriate for the number of watches in your collection. There is a choice of watch winders for one watch, but also for fifteen watches, for example. The noise level of the motor of the watch winder is also very important, the quieter the better. Consider your personal living situation; where do you place the watch winder? Go for a watch winder made from durable materials of good quality. Buy from an expert, who will offer you a clear year warranty. This way you can enjoy your purchase for a long time!
