Posted on 10 October 2018 at 6:04 PM

The most pure form of watches is the automatic watch. Your motion ensures that the watch receives energy and continues to "run". But what if you're not always wearing your watch (or logically you won't wear all your watches at the same time)? The solution is simple and practical; a watch winder. A watch winder ensures that your automatic watch (s) is always provided with sufficient energy, so that it keeps running. This has a few big advantages. First advantage is convenience. You do not have to set your watch every time (time, date, moon phase, GMT etc etc). Secondly, it is also good for automatic watches, better than standing still. Because of the motion, the oil is well distributed over the movement so that the operation parts remain smooth. Finally, we would like to mention the aesthetic element. Rotating watches in a watch winder are simply a beautiful sight. A watch winder is a real "eye catcher" for many people and besides being functional, it is also very nice to have a watch winder in your office, bedroom in your living room.
