Benson Watchwinders for your automatic watches

Posted on 22 January 2012 at 12:56 PM

The problem with automatic watches is that they loose energy when they are not worn. Without movement the power reserve will lose energy and the correct time settings are lost and need to be set again. To avoid this problem you can buy a watchwinder. A watchwinder does turn around the watches to supply the movement with energy. You can buy watchwinders in different models/versions, but a good watchwinder does have special specifications.

Specifications of a good watchwinder

We advise to buy a watchwinder with Japanese motors. These Japanese motors are of great quality and do have enough power to turn around the most heavy automatic watches. Thereby a Japanese motor is more reliable and will be silent over a longer period.

Next to a Japanese motor we advise to buy a watchwinder which has several programs. Almost 95% of all automatic watches need to be rotated clockwise (CW). A good watchwinder does have a clockwise and counter clockwise (CC) rotation function. There are watchwinder models which do have CW, CC and alternate. In the alternate mode the watchwinder rotates first clockwise and then counter clockwise.

Good quality material is essential. You don't want to put your watches in a machine which isn't reliable. Watchwinders can be made of wood or plastic. There is a great choice in color, you can choose for black, brown, white, carbon and also you can choose a pattern.

Almost all Benson Watchwinders do have Japanese motors, several programs and rotation directions. Thereby our watchwinders do have an overwind protection. This is important, because with this function automatic watches are not damaged by overwinding.
