A luxury watch is highly prized by most enthusiasts. It's therefore not surprising that a great deal of time and attention is often devoted to selecting a watch. Once you've carefully selected a watch, you naturally want to take the best possible care of it. A mechanical watch (manually wound) or quartz watch (battery-powered) should therefore be stored in a good watch box or case, for example.

For a watch with an automatic movement, a good watch winder is the only suitable accessory. A watch winder provides movement for your automatic watch when you're not wearing it, preventing it from stopping. This prevents you from having to reset your watch and prevents inaccuracies in the time display. An automatic watch can be wound by hand, but because this requires opening the delicate crown, it's not recommended to do this too often. A quality watch winder is therefore a valuable investment if you own one or more automatic watches.

Watch winders are available in numerous versions. Differences can be noted in terms of quality, price, motor type, the watch winder's appearance, the materials used, and any extras. For example, you can choose between designs with Japanese motors and models equipped with Swiss-made motors. Watch winders equipped with Japanese motors are often more attractively priced. In terms of appearance, there's a choice between more modern designs, exclusive and unique models, and more classic watch winders. In this article, we focus on the latter.

A classic watch winder generally has a simpler appearance and therefore a calm character, combined with classic elements. Materials used in the manufacture of classic watch winders include glass and leather, as well as various beautiful types of wood. In this article, we'd like to introduce you to two brands that have a lot to offer in the field of classic watch winders: the innovative brand Orbita and the ambitious brand Paul Design.

Orbita is a brand from the United States and is, with good reason, a household name there. The Orbita watch winder collection offers beautiful, luxurious cases with space for multiple automatic watches, as well as simpler designs capable of winding one or two automatic watches. These latter designs are found in the Orbita Sparta Bold series. These models are made of plastic and have a simple design. These watch winders are also available in various colors, including red, blue, green, and brown.

The foundation of Orbita's watch winders is formed by Swiss-made motors, allowing you to enjoy optimal user comfort with a watch accessory from this brand. These motors are known for being not only highly reliable but also energy-efficient and quiet in operation. Orbita also attaches great importance to continuous development and, thanks to its progressive approach, has already secured several patents. For example, the brand developed the "Rotorwind System," which winds the automatic watch not by rotation, but by gently shaking it. Thanks to its drive for innovation, Orbita models are always equipped with the latest technology and offer your automatic watch a very safe and efficient winding method. The classic designs suit almost any interior.

Paul Design is a brand from the UK. From the beginning, this brand has aimed to develop high-quality watch winders at a competitive price. For a classic design, you'll find plenty in the Paul Design watch winder collection. The brand also offers models with varying capacities, so you've come to the right place for a watch accessory for a single automatic watch, but also for a model to wind an entire collection.

Paul Design watch winders are primarily crafted from various beautiful woods, but beautiful leather models are also available. The brand's collection also includes a selection of designs with attractive extras, such as built-in LED lighting, extra storage space for other watches or jewelry, and a high-end fingerprint lock. The foundation of Paul Design watch accessories is formed by high-quality Japanese motors, which wind your automatic watches safely and efficiently.

In our webshop, you can find various classic watch accessories from respected brands, including Orbita and Paul Design. If you're looking for a high-quality watch winder with a classic character, it's definitely worth taking a look.

A watch isn't just a practical accessory. A good watch naturally keeps you up to date, and many models offer various other useful features. A carefully selected watch is also an expression of personality and a true jewel, adding that extra touch to your outfit.

Moreover, a classy watch is often seen as a status symbol or a valuable heirloom. A luxury watch is therefore selected with great care and attention by most enthusiasts. The design of the watch plays a significant role, and a high-quality movement and the watch's technical aspects are also important. However, there are also many enthusiasts and collectors who value the special story behind a watch or watch brand. In this article, we'd like to tell you more about a watch brand backed by a true family business, which also brings a touch of nostalgia through its connection to a piece of Dutch history. We're talking about the intriguing watch brand Van Speyk. Van Speyk is a watch brand that was founded because its founders couldn't find the perfect watch among existing brands. From the very beginning, the family behind Van Speyk aimed to produce watches that, in their opinion, would strike the perfect chord in every respect.

The name "Van Speyk" can be traced back to the national hero Jan Carel van Speyk. This sailor, with the words "I'd rather go up in the air," chose to blow up his ship to prevent its capture by Belgian rebels. The name "Van Speyk" is therefore a name of honor steeped in history. At Van Speyk, the quality and appearance of the watches in its collection are paramount. Furthermore, Van Speyk chooses to equip its watches with the finest Swiss-made movements, ensuring an extremely reliable foundation. The movements Van Speyk uses are from the renowned brand STP. These are automatic movements, meaning they can operate on movement alone. An automatic movement is the preferred choice for many enthusiasts, as the hand of a true craftsman is most evident in this authentic timepiece.

The Van Speyk watch collection was recently updated with the arrival of the appealing Spirit and Courage models. These beautiful designs are definitely worth a look. We'd like to tell you more about a specific model from Van Speyk's Courage series: the Van Speyk Courage Gold CGW-DB. This beautiful watch stands out, among other things, because of its gold case. This gives the watch an exceptionally luxurious appearance. The case is also fully polished, with the exception of the lugs, which have a brushed finish, creating a striking contrast. The case of this design is 14mm thick and 41mm in diameter. The glazed caseback offers a beautiful view of the movement, allowing true enthusiasts to see the watch in action.

The Van Speyk Courage Gold CGW-DB features a beautiful, handcrafted brown leather strap. Crafted from high-quality Italian leather, this strap ensures exceptional comfort. The strap fastens with a gold-tone folding clasp, perfectly reflecting the watch's exclusive character. The engraved Van Speyk monogram is featured on the folding clasp, as well as on the rotor and crown. The strap is also very easy to change thanks to its convenient quick-release system.

Naturally, the Van Speyk Courage Gold CGW-DB also features a high-end Swiss-made automatic movement from STP (STP2-12-63), guaranteeing you a reliable watch. The movement is also beautifully finished with Côtes de Genève and features a Nivaflex NV spring and an Incablock shock absorber. The watch also features extremely durable sapphire crystal. Furthermore, the watch has a 42-hour power reserve and is water resistant to 50 meters. Finally, this design features a seconds hand and a power reserve indicator.
