You always look good with a watch of Swiss origin. Switzerland offers many beautiful watch brands and skilled watchmakers and is therefore known as the country of watches. Switzerland is also home to several watch brands that excel in both quality and appearance. An example of a brand that offers high quality Swiss made watches is the Cornavin brand.

Cornavin is a brand with a history that already gained ground in the 1950s and 1960s through the development of high-quality mechanical watches. In addition, Cornavin was one of the first Swiss brands to introduce 'the big date'. Innovation, development, quality and style are therefore appropriate words for Cornavin watches. In addition, Cornavin watches are characterized by a timeless design, the use of quartz movements and the oversized designs. The advantage of using quartz movements is, among other things, that they are more resistant to knocks and shocks than, for example, automatic movements. In addition, the quartz movements are more accurate in displaying the time.

The Cornavin collection contains watches with a diverse appearance. Within the extensive collection we see watches with a more classic design, as watches with a sporty and tough look. This diversity ensures that Cornavin is interesting for every watch enthusiast. The price/quality ratio of this brand is also excellent, making the brand also accessible to people with a smaller budget. Cornavin also pays a lot of attention to details and to the finish, so that the Cornavin watches look well cared for down to the last detail.

A particularly beautiful model that comes from the Cornavin collection, specifically from the Downtown 3H series, is the Cornavin Downtown 3H CO 2021-2020 watch. This watch is a real eye-catcher and stands out because of its minimalist appearance, which is powerful at the same time. The combination of the black calfskin watch strap with the watch case, which is finished in the color rosé, means that the character of this watch can be described as elegant, stylish and timeless. The watch case of this watch has a diameter of 41 mm and is 10 mm thick. The watch closes with a folding clasp and is fitted with very strong sapphire glass. This model is of course equipped with a Swiss made timepiece, to be precise a quartz timepiece. Furthermore, this watch offers a second hand, date display and luminous indicators. Because the Downtown 3H models from Cornavin are limited to 999 pieces worldwide, you can be sure that you are wearing a unique piece on your wrist.

A second Cornavin watch that we would like to mention specifically is the Cornavin Downtown 3H CO 2010-2004. This watch has a completely different look than the aforementioned model. With the stainless steel strap, this watch has a sporty and robust appearance. The dial is white in color and features silver accents. The whole looks calm because of these neutral colors. The watch case of this model is made of stainless steel and has a diameter of 44 mm and a thickness of 11 mm. This watch closes with a folding clasp and is also fitted with sapphire glass. The Cornavin Downtown 3H CO 2010-2004 watch is water resistant to 100 meters and is equipped with a Swiss made quartz movement. Finally, the watch offers a nice list of extra functionalities, including a seconds hand, date display and luminous indicators. In addition, the watch also has a screw-down crown, stopwatch function and a chronograph function. This watch is also limited to 999 pieces worldwide, so it remains exclusive.

The third and last model that we highlight is the Cornavin Downtown Sport C0-2012-2020R. This watch stands out because of the particularly beautiful bright blue color of both the watch strap and the dial. In terms of material, rubber has been chosen for the strap, the watch case is made of stainless steel. The case also has a diameter of 45 mm and a thickness of 11 mm. Here too we see the use of sapphire glass again. This watch is water resistant to 100 meters and closes with a buckle. A Swiss made quartz movement of top quality has also been chosen for this watch. The Cornavin Downtown Sport C0-2012-2020R also offers a very complete picture when we look at the extra functionalities. In addition to the seconds hand, date display and luminescent indicators, the watch also offers a stopwatch function, screw-down crown and a chronograph function. The Downtown sports models are also limited to 999 pieces.

Cornavin is therefore highly recommended for those looking for a stylish quality watch with high technical features. We offer a very nice collection of Cornavin watches in our webshop, including the 3 models mentioned above. When you choose to order a Cornavin watch from us in the webshop, you will receive it at home in a luxurious official box with manual and a 2-year warranty. With a Cornavin watch you choose quality for now and for the future and you are always sure of a correct display of the time.

The Benson Black Series watch winders are probably the best choice in their segment. The Dutch brand Benson combines quality, high-quality materials and excellent functionality to wind automatic watches. The Black Series models are luxury watch accessories that are suitable to provide any automatic watch, regardless of watch brand or model, with energy professionally and safely. This is important because if you own several automatic watches, you want to keep them in top condition. A Benson Black Series watch winder takes care of this.

This generation of watch winders offers all kinds of extras that are extremely useful for the watch enthusiast. The extra storage space for other watches, the door with which you close the watch winder so that the watches are safely stored, a modern touchscreen, LED lighting and flexible watch holders that you click into the watch winder are a few examples. It is precisely the properties of the Benson Black Series that make these watch accessories so popular. You want the best for winding your automatic watches, right? The nice thing about this brand is that you get a lot of quality for a relatively low price. Benson does not invest huge budgets in marketing or sponsoring, the best advertisement for this Dutch brand is the experiences of the users of a Benson watch winder. A similar model often costs 2x to 3x as much from a competing brand.

The Benson Black Series collection is suitable for winding 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 16 automatic watches. These watch accessories are made of wood and available in various colors and materials. Winding an automatic watch has never been easier, because you select the direction of rotation and the desired number of revolutions per day via the touchscreen. So you can wind your, for example, Breitling watch completely differently from your Omega or Rolex watch. You choose exactly the settings that are suitable for your automatic watch. This ensures the optimal energy level for your watch collection and you never have to worry about your watches coming to a standstill. In a Benson Black Series watch winder, your watches are always ready to wear immediately with the correct time and date. This not only saves time and effort, but is also better for the preservation of the watch. After all, you don't have to open the crown every time to provide the watch with energy and to correct the functions (time, date and/or other settings).

What appeals to us even more about the Benson Black Series watch winders is the fact that you have a lot of choice from different colors/variants. You can of course opt for a black watch winder that fits almost any interior, but you can also opt for a model with a carbon fiber or walnut look. Whether you choose a white or red model. As a result, you will always find a suitable model in the collection that fits well with your watch collection and interior.

Benson has been using Japanese motors in its watch winders for years. These motors are extremely durable and have a very low sound level, which means that the models, in combination with the door that can be closed, operate in silence. It doesn't matter if you want a watch winder for 2 watches or a watch winder for 4 watches, the collection of Benson has it all. 

Due to the enormous popularity of the Benson Black Series watch winders, almost all models were sold out very quickly. Some models have been out of stock for more than 7 months. Fortunately, we have good news. The latest generation of Benson Black Series models has been produced and is on its way to us. We expect to be able to deliver all open orders at the beginning of December immediately after arrival in our warehouse. After shipment, we will send you the shipping confirmation and tracking information so that you can track the package. So you will have your Benson Black Series watch winder at home well before Christmas.

A watch brand that is one of our favorites, is the German brand Davosa. Why? Because Davosa watches have an extremely high level in terms of quality, finish and designs. Of course, several watch brands have this, but Davosa combines this with a very attractive price. A Davosa watch actually offers everything you want as a watch enthusiast, but you never pay too much, as with other brands for their marketing, history or sponsorship.

We have been an official Davosa dealer for over 12 years and we are very happy with our cooperation. So we have already seen many watches from this brand pass in review. A very special watch will follow shortly, which we are already looking forward to.

The Davosa brand exists 140 years and that is celebrated with a special limited edition watch from this German watch brand. The edition consists of 2 different variants in the colors yellow and orange. 140 units of each were produced worldwide. Of course, each watch is individually numbered.

The Davosa Argonautic Carbon Limited Edition Yellow has the reference 161.589.75 and is equipped with a Swiss automatic movement and carbon watch case. Carbon is extremely light and strong and has a modern look. Carbon is widely used in motorsport. The dial has a yellow index and is equipped with SuperLuminova so that the index is also easy to read in the dark. The Davosa Argonautic Carbon Limited Edition Yellow watch has sapphire crystal, a helium valve and screw-down crown. The strap is made of black rubber and has a folding clasp with diving extension. This watch comes with an extra NATO watch strap.

The Davosa Argonautic Carbon Limited Edition Orange watch with reference number 161.589.65 is exactly the same as the yellow one, but has an orange index instead of a yellow one. The combination of the carbon case, black accents and yellow or orange index make these limited edition watches an absolute "must have".

These Davosa Argonautic Carbon Limited Edition are of course fully Swiss made, which is also stated on the dial. The back of the watch is very special and completely individualized for this special occasion: the 140th anniversary of Davosa.

We have reserved several pieces of this model and will receive them from Germany at the end of November. The earlier limited edition watches from Davosa sold out very quickly. Do you want a special watch? Soon we will present the Davosa Argonautic Carbon Limited Edition watches on our website.

The price is 1,198.00 euros (incl. 21% VAT). Don't want to wait any longer? Then place your order on our website.

Anyone who has an automatic watch knows the problem that the watch comes to a stand still when you don't wear it. The timepiece inside the watch needs energy that obtains it through wearing the watch or manual excitement by rotating the crown. But there is a handy watch accessory that ensures that your automatic watch will never stop. This watch accessory is called a watch winder. A watch winder rotates one or more automatic watches, which means that they obtain energy and always be ready to wear.

If you have a beautiful Rolex watch then you want to know how you can prevent this watch from stand still. Which watch winder is suitable for winding a Rolex watch? What should you pay attention to when purchasing? What does a watch winder, suitable to wind a Rolex watch, cost?

Watch winder for Rolex

If you have a beautiful Rolex watch you want to keep it in perfect condition. A watch winder is then an extremely handy and efficient accessory. This device ensures that the watch is rotated quietly so that it gets energy. As a result, you can wear the Rolex watch when you want to wear it, without having to reset the time, date or other functions and wind the watch to gain energy again. In addition, the use of a watch winder has a different important advantage; You don't have to open the crown every time to correct the time and date. The crown is one of the most vulnerable parts of a watch and therefore preferably lets you close as much as possible.

For the enthusiast with one or more Rolex watches, a watch winder is a "must have" watch accessory. A watch winder for winding up a Rolex watch has many advantages. But you have to choose a good brand and model that is suitable to wind the Rolex watch.

What should you pay attention to when purchasing?

Rolex is an appealing luxury brand of absolute top quality. You probably also want a good watch winder as an accessory for your Rolex watch. After all, bad quality can lead to damage to the watch.

As a first point it is important that you choose a known watch winder brand. A brand that has had an excellent reputation, extensive experience and offers good quality and service. A good example of a brand that meets this is the Dutch brand Benson. The Benson watch winders are extremely suitable for exciting automatic Rolex watches because they use sustainable and strong motors, have good functionality in terms of winding opportunities and use flexible watch holders on which each type of watch is well stuck. The Benson watch winders also offer excellent price/quality ratio so you never pay too much.

Watches, the most popular accessories for men. Where ladies have a lot of choice in the field of all kinds of jewelry, there is really only one real piece of jewelry for men, a watch. Partly because of this, this accessory is so important and popular with men. Not only because of the interesting technique, but also because of the design, materials and colors. A watch is no longer just a time instrument, it is an accessory that shows your taste, where your interests lie and how much money you are willing to spend and can spend.

Watch brands such as Breitling, Rolex, IWC, Patek and Tag Heuer are known and famous worldwide. They are brands that have built their reputation and fame by combining impeccable quality with fantastic designs. Do not forget that these brands are quite old and have always managed to innovate, also during competition from Japanese brands, the introduction of mobile phones and later the smart watches. These watch brands are more than just a producer of beautiful watches, they create status symbols. A Rolex or Breitling watch has a certain appearance. They are very popular for a reason. We often hear stories of men who got their first job after college and after a while wanted to reward themselves by buying a nice watch. This watch symbolizes their development and is a reward for the path they have chosen. These watches are often followed by other watches, but the first one always remains special. It is preserved and even passed on to future generations. In this way a watch is much more than just a time instrument.

We naturally see a lot of watches around us, from different brands and in different price ranges. A beautiful Rolex watch is of course the pinnacle of technology and design, but we can also enjoy watches from other brands. Brands that are priced much lower but offer a lot of quality and fun as well. A good example is Epos. This Swiss watch brand offers a lot of quality at a very competitive price. The brand is relatively small and produces a small amount. This makes Epos watches an excellent choice for watch enthusiasts who want an excellent combination of quality and a competitive price.

We are regularly asked what the best watch is. We can't really answer that question because what the best watch is depends on many factors. Mainly from the question of what the best watch is for you. What is the best watch depends on what the person has as wishes and preferences. What is the best watch for me may not be the best watch for you. The question of what the best watch is, is actually impossible to answer. But we can help you by describing what is the best watch for you. The best watch may be a MeisterSinger watch for one person and a Rolex watch for another.

Movement type

First we need to explain the different techniques used in a watch. You have probably heard of a quartz watch. This is a watch that functions by means of a battery. If the battery is empty, replace the battery and the watch will function again for 2-3 years. The main advantages of a quartz watch are the reliability in terms of time measurement, price and shock resistance. Watches with a quartz movement are very accurate and display the time accurately to the second. Watches with a battery are also generally cheaper to buy. The technique is relatively simple and the timepieces are produced a lot, which means that the costs are low. Another advantage of a quartz watch is that they are not so sensitive to shocks and blows. The quartz movements are strong and durable and can take a beating. This combination of properties is decisive for many watch enthusiasts to wear a quartz watch.

Have you ever heard of an automatic watch? Perhaps you are thinking of a watch from an uncle or your grandfather. In the past there were no quartz watches and all watches were automatic or mechanical. An automatic watch obtains energy through movement, which is why a watch winder is also such a handy accessory for such a watch. Automatic watches are certainly not old-fashioned, because all high-end watch brands that are well known almost exclusively produce automatic watches. Good examples are Rolex, IWC, Breitling, Omega, Oris and Tag Heuer. An automatic watch has charm, because it has a beautiful but complex technique. The parts of the timepiece are perfectly matched so that the time is displayed, without battery! This also makes the technology vulnerable in some cases, for example if you bump or drop an automatic watch. Yet almost all watch enthusiasts have automatic watches in their collection. The charm, technique and beautiful appearance make this type of watch the most popular.

Another well-known technique used in watches is the mechanical technique. A mechanical watch has to be wound by hand by turning the crown. The timepiece does not receive energy from itself or from a battery. The timepiece is wound by turning the crown. This is actually the most ancient technique and used in the first wristwatches. Today, mechanical watches are still produced and sold, albeit to a much lesser extent than quartz and automatic watches. Yet watch lovers are extremely charmed by mechanical watches. It is one of the purest forms, and also a beautiful technique. The movement of a mechanical watch is made up of many parts that must work together to perfection in order to accurately display the time.

The shape of a watch

In addition to the technology inside the watch, the shape of the watch is also important. Most watches have an almost round watch case. This is the most common form. But there are also watches that have a different shape. For example, tonneau-shaped watches that have a more rectangular watch case. You see this, for example, with the Franck Muller brand. There are also square watches such as the Apple watch. Watches with a round case are the best known and most often worn. Simply because this shape best mimics the clock and can be worn very comfortably.

The shape of the watch is often determined by the design and background of the brand. In terms of shape, you can also think of the size of the watch. Well-known brands that produce oversized watches are, for example, RSC from Belgium and Lapizta from the US.

The wearing comfort of a watch is partly determined by the shape and weight of the watch. This is an important point to take with you when you want to buy a watch. 

Different types of watch straps

The watch strap connects the watch itself to the wrist. That is why the watch strap is a very important part of a watch. The watch strap is also important for wearing comfort. A good watch strap is made of durable material, fits nicely on the wrist and fits well with the watch in terms of appearance and color. The right watch strap makes the watch. On the other hand, a watch strap that does not fit well with the watch or does not fit well can be a big disadvantage. Before purchasing a watch, always determine which material and type of watch strap you prefer. One person likes a stainless steel bracelet, the other a beautiful leather strap. Of course there are also straps made of rubber and plastic.

Stainless steel watch bracelets have the property that they are durable and resistant to wear. A leather watch strap, on the other hand, is less durable in use and you will have to replace it every 1-2 years with daily use. In addition, a leather watch strap is less resistant to external influences such as water and perspiration. An important advantage of a good leather watch strap is the wearing comfort and the beautiful combination with the watch itself. In addition, this type of strap is often light and therefore the combination with the watch is not too heavy. This is a disadvantage of a stainless steel strap, the weight is higher, which can be at the expense of wearing comfort.

Whether you prefer a leather, rubber or stainless steel strap depends entirely on your preference. Most beautiful watches, for example from Locman, combine perfectly with a beautiful leather and stainless steel watch strap.

Materials of which a watch is made

We now zoom in on the watch itself, in particular the watch case and the glass. The timepiece is housed in the watch case and must therefore be well protected. Most watch cases are made of steel, and usually stainless steel. This material is hard, relatively cheap and durable. Yet there are also watches that have a watch case made of plastic, titanium or carbon fiber. We actually only see a plastic or plastic watch case with cheaper watches. We prefer to ignore this type of watch. However, titanium and carbon fiber are excellent materials with very positive properties to make a good watch case. Titanium has the advantages that it is extremely strong and light. A disadvantage is that it is more expensive than a stainless steel case. Carbon fiber is not used very much but has the advantage that it is very strong and modern. A major drawback is that it is significantly more expensive than stainless steel and titanium.

The glass of the watch is also placed in the watch case. There are various types of materials from which watch glass is made. Well-known are mineral glass, plexiglass and sapphire glass. Mineral glass is a great option if you are very careful with your watch and do not expect to make many scratches. Sapphire glass, on the other hand, is much more resistant to scratches because of its hardness. Sapphire glass is most commonly used in modern watches. Plexiglas has a more retro look and is very soft as a material. It is relatively cheap but is less resistant to external influences, which means that it can easily scratch or tear.

Our preference is sapphire glass. This glass is used, for example, in the watches of Glycine, Epos and Davosa. With this type of glass you don't have to worry about a lot of damage. This glass protects your watch very well, so that it still looks good even after years of use.

Watch design

In addition to the shape of a watch, the design is also an important part. The design largely determines the appearance. In terms of design, there is a choice of classic and modern watches, but also sporty or more modest watches. In terms of modest watches, you can think of Eone Time and Iron Annie, for example. These are watch brands with a calm appearance without much frills.

The design largely determines whether the watch appeals to you or not. Where one person likes to wear a classic watch, the other prefers a modern or sporty watch on his or her wrist. But you can also think of pilot watches, diving watches or digital watches. Each has its own design, depending on the brand and the history of the brand. A good example of a watch brand that has its own design is the German Laco. Laco watches are inspired by pilots and aviation. As a result, Laco has a very nice pilot's watch collection that is very appealing to watch enthusiasts. In addition, this brand has a special history.

A watch brand with a very special concept and design is Eone Time. This brand from the United States produces watches for the blind and partially sighted. The design allows visually impaired people to perceive time. By touching the dial, the wearer can immediately feel what the time is. The nice thing about Eone Time watches is that this has not been at the expense of the design. The Eone Time watches are beautiful and offer an extremely high wearing comfort due to the titanium watch cases. As a result, design is perfectly combined with functionality.

Are you an athlete yourself and do you like to wear a sporty watch, then there is a lot of choice. There are many watch brands that manufacture sporty watches. A sporty watch is mainly characterized by a modern design and durability. In terms of modern design, you can think of contemporary trendy shapes and colours. The durability is reflected in the solid materials such as stainless steel, rubber and sapphire glass. In addition, sporty watches are often equipped with extra functions such as a chronograph, stopwatch and tachymeter. Good water resistance is also important because sporty watches often have to endure more than normal watches. They must therefore not only be able to withstand a knock, they must also be resistant to influences such as water. For example, when you go cycling, rowing or walking, the watch must be able to withstand a good rain shower. A good example of a watch brand that makes sports watches of excellent quality is Davosa. Davosa watches are sporty, solid and offer features that you can use to exercise, swim or survive a weekend.

Classic watches have a more calm design and character. These watches are not intended for sports or to be exposed to extreme conditions. Classic watches are also sometimes called a "dress watch". You can wear this type of watch with a casual chic outfit or a bee suit. Classic watches often have a smaller watch case, of 38-40 mm. In addition, they have a quiet dial without all kinds of bells and whistles. The hands and perhaps a date function or moon phase are the most common in a classic watch. This type of watches usually comes with a nice leather watch strap. When we look in our collection brands such as MeisterSinger and Van Speyk are good examples of brands with beautiful classic watches.

What does a good watch cost?

It is a misconception that a good watch is very expensive. There are many watch brands that offer a beautiful and durable watch for a very interesting price. The trick is to search, compare and choose exactly the watch that appeals to you. We all know the high-end watch brands from Switzerland. For example, IWC, Breitling, Omega, Oris, Patek and Tag Heuer. Beautiful brands with an extensive history and a lot of experience in the production of high-end watches. With these brands you get a top watch, but you also pay a part for the name and appearance of the brand. This category of brands includes various watch brands that offer exactly the same in terms of quality, finish and functionality, but for a lower price. These brands may be less known and spend less money on marketing and expensive advertising campaigns, but they are an excellent choice for the watch enthusiast. As a rule, they offer an excellent price/quality ratio. A good example is Epos. This brand from Switzerland produces beautiful Swiss made watches of impeccable quality. Nevertheless, the prices of Epos watches are considerably lower than of the above-mentioned brands. Why? Epos is a relatively small brand and spends much less money on marketing. Other good examples of such watch brands are Davosa and Damasko. Both of these brands from Germany produce very good watches with excellent movements.

In principle, what you expect from a watch determines the amount you want and can spend for it. If you do not have too many requirements in terms of timepiece, brand, functionality and materials, you can buy a nice watch for relatively little money. If you have more wishes, you will notice that the price also increases. However, a good watch does not have to be expensive. Watch brands such as Iron Annie and Van Speyk have been proving this for years. If you want something special in terms of brand, materials and type of timepiece, this also has a price.

What should you pay attention to when buying a watch?

If you have determined yourself what your wishes are and what amount you want to spend on a watch, then there is really only one advice left; "buy the seller". With this term we want to say that it is important where you buy the watch. In other words, if you buy a watch from a good and reliable seller, you have more security than when you buy a watch on Marktplaats or the local market.

An official dealer is connected to the relevant watch brand and is supported by the brand. This has the advantage that you as a customer can also benefit from this support. This is especially nice in the event of a defect for which you claim warranty or in the event of a repair outside the warranty period that must be carried out. In addition, an official dealer can provide you with good advice. With knowledge and experience, he will advise you and present the options in terms of different watches, techniques, materials and price ranges.
Another piece of advice we want to give you is that cheap often leads to expensive purchases. Something that seems too good to be true often is. Always inform yourself well about a certain brand and the specific product. If you have any doubts or questions, do not hesitate to contact the seller. Often you immediately notice the level of customer service. Ask the questions you find important and compare various websites and products. This way you come to a good decision with regard to the purchase of a good watch.

The most popular watch brand in the country is located on the Italian island of Elba. We are talking about the Locman watch brand. Locman offers watches of excellent quality with high technology, in combination with the well-known Italian class and style. Locman knows how to distinguish itself from other watch brands in various ways. The brand is known for the vibrant use of color in the designs of the watches.

The characteristic designs of the Italian brand are appealing and often function as a real eye-catcher. In addition, Locman offers watches with both automatic and quartz movements, so that there are sufficient options within the collection for every personal preference. In addition, the brand is known for the use of high-quality materials such as carbon fiber and titanium. Carbon fiber is extremely strong and has a sporty and modern look.

There are models with watch straps made of rubber, leather and stainless steel. This means that the different watches immediately get a completely different look.

Montecristo is the most popular design and can also be called the showpiece of Locman. We would like to make you as excited as we are about these brand new models from Locman. We will therefore take a closer look at 2 models of these Montecristo designs, to get an idea of ??what the new Locman models have to offer.

We start with the Locman Montecristo 41mm 0542A01S-00BKORSO watch. This is a very nice example of a watch with a colorful look. Both the rubber watch strap and the accents on the black dial are in the color orange and therefore very striking. The watch case is made of a combination of stainless steel and titanium and has a diameter of 41 mm and thickness of 14 mm. This watch has a quartz movement and is water resistant to 100 meters. By using sapphire glass, you don't have to worry about scratches or other damage. This watch closes with a folding clasp. Also technically this is a nice complete watch. This model offers a seconds hand and a date display, but you also have luminous indicators and a chronograph function at your disposal.

A second model that we would like to explain is the Locman Montecristo Carbon 0544C09S-CBCBWHSB watch. This watch is also made in a striking color, namely clear blue. We see this color reflected in the watch strap and as an accent on the dial. The watch strap is made of rubber and closes with a folding clasp. Furthermore, the watch case is made of carbon fiber, which makes the case extremely sturdy. This case has a diameter of 41mm and a thickness of 14mm. With a high-quality automatic movement and a water resistance of 100 meters, this watch is suitable for intensive use. This watch also uses strong sapphire glass.

A watch winder is the most commonly used watch accessory for automatic watches. It ensures that the watches are optimally supplied with energy and therefore keep running on time. A stationary automatic watch is a thing of the past with a watch winder. This watch accessory gently rotates the watches, tensioning the spring in the movement. This keeps the watch running and therefore it's immediately ready to wear. So you never have to wind the watch and reset the time and date again. Handy, but also good for preserving your automatic watches.

In this article we write about the watch winder for 1 watch. This type of watch winder is often compact and has one motor that drives the rotor on which the watch is attached. Watch winders for 1 watch are often relatively small and compact. Usually they are purely focused on accomplishing their task, winding 1 automatic watch, and offer little extra luxury and functions. With watch winders that are suitable for winding multiple watches, you often see that they have extra storage space, LED lighting or a door. A watch winder that is suitable for winding 1 automatic watch often does not have these properties. However, this does not mean that they wind automatic watches less well. On the contrary, they do exactly what they are intended to do.

There is a lot of choice in the field of watch winders for 1 watch. Well-known brands that every watch lover knows are Swiss Kubik, Benson and Bernard Favre. But RDI from Switzerland and Chronovision from Germany also make excellent watch winders with which you can wind one automatic watch. It is important that you choose a make and model that uses a solid motor. This motor forms the basis of the device. If you want to wind larger and heavier watches, the choice for a Japanese, German or Swiss motor is definitely recommended.

If you are looking for a watch winder for 1 watch under 200 euro (incl. VAT), we have a few interesting models for you. The Benson Compact 1.17. Black Leather watch winder is a good example. This model is compact, black in color and covered with beautiful leather. You can set this model via the LCD screen on the back so that you can select the direction of rotation and the number of revolutions per day. The watch holder is flexible and suitable for any common watch. Actually, the above properties also apply to the Benson Compact Single 1.WAS watch winder. Only this model is made of walnut wood and has a beautiful chrome ring around the rotor for an extra luxurious look. If you want a sportier model with a carbon fiber look, then you should go for the Benson Compact 1.17. Carbon Fiber watch winder. This watch winder offers everything you need to provide an automatic watch with perfect energy.

If you have a little more to spend and would like to buy a watch winder with a German motor, Chronovision watch winders are a good choice. This brand starts from 479 euro (incl. VAT). These models that are suitable for winding 1 watch are made in Germany and have a strong motor. Another nice advantage is that each model is equipped with Bluetooth technology, so you can set the watch winder via an app via the bluetooth connection of your mobile phone.

This collection consists of the Startbox and Masterbox series. The Swiss Kubik Startbox watch winders are entry-level models and available from 445 euros (incl. VAT) and the Masterbox models are slightly more luxurious and also available for 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 automatic watches. The Swiss Kubik Masterbox watch winders start from 695 euros (incl. VAT).

Most watch enthusiasts start with a watch winder for 1 watch. But often new watches are added to the collection and they need a larger watch winder. Yet a watch winder for 1 watch is very handy and functional. You can place them almost anywhere, they are easy to use and very affordable. If you have an automatic watch, you will recognize the discomfort when the watch is empty and stationary. As an enthusiast you want to prevent this, but also to save time and effort. It is inconvenient if you have to set and wind your automatic watches again and again. The use of a watch winder for 1 watch is a solution. Most watch enthusiasts simply cannot do without a watch winder.
