Watch winders, what are the benefits of this watch accessory

Posted on 12 February 2026 at 12:57 PM

A luxury automatic watch should be chosen with the necessary care and attention. A luxury watch is generally expensive, and you naturally want to handle it with care. An automatic watch not only needs a safe storage place but also a watch accessory that can provide it with the necessary power when you're not wearing it. A watch with an automatic movement relies on movement for its functioning.

When your automatic watch is on your wrist, you don't have to worry about it. Your movements then wind it. When the watch is stored in a watch box or case, it's a different story. After all, the watch isn't receiving any movement at this point, so it will stop. While it is possible to wind an automatic watch manually, you'll want to avoid this as much as possible. This requires opening the crown, a very fragile part of the watch. To prevent damage, it's best to avoid doing this too often. In addition, you'll also need to reset your automatic watch after it stops running, which, with all the features offered by today's luxury watches, is quite a task. Finally, an automatic watch can become less accurate when it stops running. These are all reasons to choose not to store your automatic watch in a watch box or case, but in a watch accessory specifically designed for automatic watches: a watch winder.

When purchasing a watch winder, it's important to choose quality. This means choosing a reliable watch accessory that safely and efficiently powers your automatic watch when you're not wearing it. If you choose the much cheaper Asian models, you'll also get much less enjoyment out of them. These cheap models are almost impossible to repair once they break. Therefore, choose a watch accessory from a reputable brand; these are equipped with Swiss, Japanese, or German motors and offer your automatic watch a reliable winding method. Moreover, they are energy-efficient and quiet in operation for optimal user comfort. With the right watch winder, your automatic watch is always ready to use, so you don't have to reset it when you want to wear it.

Besides the winding function, a good watch winder offers several other advantages. For example, the movement of the watch winder also ensures good oil distribution throughout the watch, which keeps it in optimal condition. Furthermore, a solid design also provides a safe storage space for your watch. If desired, you can choose a lockable model, so you literally keep external influences at bay. This prevents unnecessary wear and damage from condensation or dirt, for example. There are also models that offer additional security with a lock. You can choose from models with a key lock, but also ultra-modern designs equipped with a high-end fingerprint lock. Do you want to store your automatic watch and watch winder in a safe? Then choose a watch accessory that can run on battery power. This way, you're not dependent on a power outlet, making safe storage a great option. Moreover, these models are easy to take with you if desired.

A final, but certainly not least, advantage of a watch winder is its displayability. Many watch winders from various renowned brands are so beautifully designed and equipped with attractive extras that they are ideal for stylishly showcasing your automatic watches. This way, you can also enjoy your watch or watches even more. Your elegant watch accessory, along with your watch, becomes a real eye-catcher in your interior.

Various watch accessories for automatic watches offer attractive extras. For example, you can choose a design with built-in LED lighting. Another great example is a handy extra storage space for quartz or mechanical watches, other jewelry, or cufflinks. In addition, some designs offer a speed-winding function, allowing you to wind your automatic watch quickly. A sleep mode is another handy feature, allowing you to keep your watch just below the optimal winding level, giving it some rest. Modern watch winders are often very easy to operate with a convenient touchscreen. This allows you to set the rotation direction and the number of rotations per day, among other things. It's important for a watch winder capable of winding multiple watches simultaneously that you can adjust the rotors individually. This way, each watch gets exactly what it needs.

Do you also want to get the most out of your automatic watch or watches? Then choose a watch winder now and take advantage of all the benefits this watch accessory has to offer.
