Watch winder for 2 watches

Posted on 8 September 2020 at 2:21 PM

The watch winder is the ideal watch accessory and a "must have" for anyone who owns at least one automatic watch. Using a watch winder is not only convenient and easy, it also has advantages for the preservation of your automatic watches.

A watch winder mimics wrist movement so that the automatic movement within the watch is optimally supplied with energy and the watch is immediately ready to wear. If you do not use a watch winder and the watch is not worn for a period of 32-40 hours, it will stand still. If you then want to wear it, you must first provide the watch with energy by shaking the watch or winding it manually via the crown. Then you have to set the correct time and date. This is inconvenient and time consuming. That is why a watch winder is gaining popularity!

Watch winders come in all shapes and sizes. In this blog we look at different watch winders for 2 watches. For example, if you have one or two automatic watches, this type of watch winder is a suitable model to use.

What should you pay attention to when purchasing a watch winder for 2 watches?

We have been selling watch winders for over 15 years now. As an official dealer of various brands in the middle and higher price segment, we have extensive experience. Based on our experience, we are writing this blog article to familiarize you with when you are looking for a watch winder for 2 watches.

First of all, we advise you to buy a watch winder for 2 watches in which your automatic watches can rotate clockwise, counter-clockwise and alternately. One automatic watch has to be turned clockwise to be wound, the other one must be counter-clockwise. With a watch winder that rotates in both directions, you are flexible, also for any other watches you buy in the future. In addition to the adjustable direction of rotation, adjustable revolutions are also recommended. By setting the number of revolutions per day you can choose exactly the number that your watch requires. Almost all modern watch winders in the middle and higher price segment offer this option.

You don't want to spend too much time setting a watch winder. You should be able to set the watch winder quickly and easily, after which you don't have to worry about it anymore. It is therefore important that you buy a watch winder for 2 watches that is easy to operate, for example through a touchscreen, LCD display or bluetooth such as with the Chronovision watch winders.

Another important part is the watch holder. The watch holder is the part to which you attach your automatic watch and then click into the watch winder. The watch holder must be flexible so that you can attach multiple types of watches to it. In addition, the watch holder must be easy to place in and out of the watch winder. Always check whether a watch holder is properly provided with a soft fabric so that it cannot damage your watch. The watch winders of the Dutch brand Benson have very good watch holders that are flexible and optimally protect the watches. Especially because you click the watch holders in the watch winder for 2 watches so that they cannot fall out.

Our last advice is to buy a good watch winder that you will enjoy for years to come. You can buy a cheap watch winder at Amazon or Ebay, but these are often from unknown brands from China that promise a lot but don't deliver much. Stay on your guard as watch winders are electrical appliances. You don't want to take risks with less quality, do you? We always recommend buying a watch winder for 2 watches from an official dealer, with extensive experience and good advice.

The advantages of a high end watch winder

Posted on 3 September 2020 at 8:00 AM

Choosing a good watch winder is not always easy. There are many different brands and the quality differences are large. In addition, there are many differences in price, materials and functionality. When choosing a watch winder, you also have to think about the capacity of the watch winder, in other words how many watches can be wound in the watch winder. If you only have one automatic watch, you probably choose a watch winder that is suitable for winding one watch. But if you have 6 or more watches, and your watch collection probably changes regularly, you quickly choose a larger watch winder that is suitable for 8, 12 or even 16 watches. You are then flexible and have a watch winder that is suitable for the future.

If you have a nice budget to spend, you can opt for a beautiful high-end watch winder. A high-end watch winder is a watch winder from the higher price segment that is often equipped with better motors, more functionalities and all kinds of nice extras. A high end watch winder is more than just for winding automatic watches. It is also an object for a beautiful interior. In English they call this a “conversation piece”.

High quality motors

The heart of the watch winder is formed by the motor. The motor drives the rotor in which the watch is mounted. It is therefore important that the motor is strong enough but also functions with as little noise as possible.

High end watch winders almost all use Swiss and German motors. A good example are the Swiss Kubik and Orbita watch winders. Both brands are equipped with Swiss made motors. But there are also excellent German motors, which are used, for example, by Chronovision watch winders. Quality motors are extremely important for high end watch winder brands. The customer expects the best and high durability for years of enjoyment from the device.

Material use

Most luxury watch winders are made of very beautiful materials. You can think of wood, stainless steel, gold, carbon and leather. It was decided to use the best materials during production to guarantee an extra nice result. The finish also plays a major role. The best quality is offered with great attention to detail and finish.

Because high-end watch winders are usually made entirely by hand, the production of such a watch winder takes an enormous amount of time. During the production process, specialized professionals are not only busy with the construction of the watch winder itself, but also with quality control.

You can expect from a high-end watch winder that it offers all options to wind one or more watches safely and professionally. This type of watch winder will therefore offer many options to provide an automatic watch with energy. The direction of rotation can of course be selected and you can choose between winding clockwise, anti-clockwise and alternately. In addition to the direction of rotation, you can also choose the number of revolutions per day. In English this is called TPD (turns per day). Each automatic watch needs a different number of revolutions per day to obtain good energy. The most common TPD are 600, 900, 1200, 1500 and 2100. A high end watch winder offers all this TPD, so you can choose the direction of rotation and TPD for each watch.

In terms of functionality, you can also think of built-in LED lighting. This provides a nice view of the rotating watches. This is especially beautiful in the dark. In addition, it is functional because you can see exactly how you click the watches in the watch winder and remove them safely. Nice extras with a high end watch winder include a fingerprint lock, remote control and bluetooth connection. These options are also offered by watch winder brands that are not a high end brand, but do produce fantastic watch winders. A good example of this is Paul Design watch winders.

The advantages of a high end watch winder

We have now listed some features of a high end watch winder, but what are the real advantages of a high end watch winder. We believe the greatest advantages are the quality, durability, functionality and finish.

Quality assures you of a nice watch winder that you will enjoy for years to come. Reliable motors that wind your watches smoothly and safely are extremely important. What is also very important is the functionality. You want a watch winder that is easy and quick to operate, but also where the watches are safe. A high-end watch winder often has a beautiful finish. You can think of a beautiful design, attention to details and beautiful materials. You often recognize a high-end watch winder immediately. This is stylish, luxurious and beautifully designed.

Especially for your beautiful automatic watches, for example from Oris, Omega, Rolex, Breilting or Tag Heuer, you want a good watch winder. You are not placing your beautiful Swiss watches in a cheap watch winder that you are not sure is good for your automatic watches, right?

A good watch winder is part of a beautiful watch collection. It really doesn't have to be a high end watch winder because there are plenty of affordable brands that offer excellent quality. For example, you can take a look at Benson watch winders or Heisse & Söhne.

If you have enough money for a beautiful watch winder, we definitely recommend a high-end watch winder that fits well with your watches but also in your interior. As a beautiful object in your living room, bedroom or office you will certainly have a topic of conversation with your friends, colleagues or family.

New: Benson Swiss Series watch winders

Posted on 28 August 2020 at 2:30 PM

Watch winders from the Dutch brand Benson are now highly regarded worldwide. The brand has expanded enormously over the past 5 years and receives excellent comments from watch enthusiasts and professionals. The brand introduced its popular Black Series watch winders in 2016. A collection of watch winders that is characterized by luxurious designs, excellent technology and good functionality. The interesting prices, which are on average 20-30% lower than competitive models, make these watch winders very popular and probably the best choice in its segment.

Benson Swiss Series watch winders

In addition to the Black Series, Benson now presents its new Swiss Series watch winders. This new collection of watch winders is fully equipped with Swiss technology and is assembled in the Netherlands. This creates a quality product that actually has no competition. Comparable brands offer less quality and functionality and are often priced up to 30% higher.

The Benson Swiss Series watch winders are available in different capacities. There is a choice of models suitable for the winding of 1, 2, 3 and 4 automatic watches. Each model is available in different versions in terms of material and color. You can choose a watch winder made of wood, leather (in different colors), carbon fiber, walnut or macassar.

Swiss motors

The heart of the Benson Swiss Series watch winders is formed by Swiss motors. These motors can therefore carry the Swiss made label and guarantee quality and durability. An important advantage of these motors is that they have an extremely low sound level. The sound level is partly due to the fact that sounds are absorbed by the wooden construction and because every Benson Swiss Series watch winder is fitted with a glass door.

Each watch winder from the Swiss Series collection is equipped with an LCD control system that allows you to quickly and easily set the desired program per watch. Each watch can be individually set because each watch has its own motor. So you can set each motor clockwise, counter-clockwise or alternately and then choose the number of revolutions per day. The model suitable for winding 4 watches is therefore equipped with 4 motors. This gives you optimal flexibility because automatic watches are not all supplied with energy in the same way. In practice, you can wind one watch clockwise at 900 TPD and the other watch counterclockwise at 600 TPD. Especially if you have different automatic watches from different watch brands, this is a necessary feature of the watch winder.

Characteristics

One of the most important features of a watch winder is the watch holder. After all, the watch holder holds the watch while turning. It is important that the watch is securely attached to the holder and that it does not move when rotating or even fall off. The Benson Swiss Series watch winder has a watch holder that can be clicked into the watch winder, so that the automatic watch is securely attached. In addition, the holder is fully adjustable to the size of the watch (and size of the watch strap). So you can place any type of watch in the watch winder, regardless of brand/model or size of the watch.

In addition to decent watch holders, every Benson Swiss Series watch winder has LED lighting that illuminates the watches beautifully while winding. The LED lighting can be activated as desired and is only available when the watch winder is connected to mains power. The watch winder can also work on batteries, but the LED lighting cannot then be activated because the batteries will run out too quickly.

As written, the Benson Swiss Series watch winder works on an included adapter. However, the watch winder can work for several months on a set of batteries. This is ideal if you want to take the watch winder with you on a trip, when you do not have a power outlet nearby or in case you want to place the watch winder in a safe. Because the watch winder works with both an adapter and batteries, you are flexible and you can always wind your automatic watches, regardless of where the watch winder is located.

Compact design

Benson has opted for a compact design for its new Swiss Series watch winders. The watch winders have no extra storage space for other watches or jewelry. The brand consciously opts for a very luxurious look and beautiful materials. These new watch winders offer the best there is on the market in terms of technology and functionality. In addition, the use of materials and finish is of an exceptionally high level. These watch winders can be called extremely luxurious for a reason.

The compact design of Benson Swiss Series watch winders has a few major advantages. You can easily place the watch winders anywhere because they take up little space. As a result, they also fit anywhere in the interior without standing out too much in the environment. The watch winders are elegant and stylish and a connoisseur will certainly notice them.

Affordable luxury watch winders

This new generation of Benson Swiss Series watch winders actually offers everything you need in terms of the excitement of automatic watches. The watch winders are extremely luxurious, functional and each have sustainable Swiss technology. An important advantage is that these watch winders are fully assembled in the Netherlands. This ensures quality. The high quality is emphasized by the 3-year warranty that the brand gives on its models.
A big advantage of this new series of watch winders from Benson is the attractive price. The prices of these Benson Swiss Series watch winders are up to 30% lower than competitor watch winders, which often offer less for more money. As a result, Benson expects this new series to be a great success.

What are the best Swiss made watch winders?

Posted on 8 August 2020 at 12:47 PM

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. This is inconvenient and unnecessary because a watch winder ensures that the watches run neatly on time and you can wear the watch immediately.
