What are the best Swiss made watch winders?
You need a watch winder if you don't want to let your automatic watches stand still. When an automatic watch is not worn or is wound up in a watch winder, it will stop running after +- 32-40 hours. If you want to wear the watch afterwards, you have to reset the time, date and other settings. In addition, you must provide the watch with energy again so that it starts running again.
