The best watch winder for 12 automatic watches

Posted on 17 January 2020 at 12:46 PM

The true watch enthusiast has several automatic watches. Probably from well-known brands such as Breitling, Rolex, Seiko, Omega, Tag Heuer or Damasko. The problem with a collection of automatic watches is that you can only wear one watch at a time. This means that the other watches are stationary. Standstill is never good and especially not handy when you regularly change your watch. You then have to reset the time and date each time and wind up the watch manually. Fortunately there is a solution for this, namely the use of a watch winder.

A watch winder is a device in which automatic watches are supplied with energy to keep them running. A watch winder rotates the automatic watches slowly so that the spring of the movement inside the watch is tensioned and the watch starts running. Because a watch winder functions according to a certain program, it runs and pauses, again and again. This tensioning the spring and relaxes it again when the watch winder is in pause. This simulates wrist movement.

A watch winder is the watch accessory par excellence for the watch collector and enthusiast. But a watch winder is also very useful for someone who has one automatic watch. You always have the option to provide your watch with energy quickly and safely, for example if the watch is not being used for a shorter while. For example if you are going to exercise, swim or when you are sleeping.

Watch winders come in all shapes and sizes. Especially for 1, 2 and 4 watches there is a lot of choice. But for many watches the choice is limited. There are only a few watch winder brands that produce larger watch winders for 12, 16, 20 or even 24 watches. Often these watch winders are also quite expensive. If you have many automatic watches and you want to purchase a good watch winder, what should you look out for? What is the best watch winder for 12 automatic watches?

There are different watch winders for 12 watches from brands such as Orbita, Paul Design and Boda Concept. However, the best watch winder in our opinion is the Benson Black Series Pro 12.19. This watch winder combines all the features that you would like to have in one watch winder. The engines in this watch winder are Japanese and extremely reliable. They are powerful enough for heavier watches. Each watch is powered by a separate motor, so you have maximum flexibility. You can wind each watch in a different way, for example one clockwise at 900 TPD (turns per day) and the other counterclockwise at 1200 TPD. Of course you can, for example, also run 9 watches and stop the other 3.

With this model you can set the direction of rotation and the number of revolutions per day so that you can wind up any automatic watch, regardless of watch brand or watch model. In addition, you can beautifully illuminate the watches through the built-in LED lighting. This lighting provides a beautiful appearance. With the power winding option you can wind automatic watches quickly in a short period. For example if you have limited time.

The Benson Black Series Pro 12.19 watch winder has a built-in drawer where you can store all kinds of other things. For example, other watches, jewelry or papers. The watch winder can be locked with a key so that nobody can access the watches.

An important advantage of the Benson Black Series Pro 12.19 watch winder is that every watch is attached to a watch holder that then clicks into the watch winder. Because of this, the watches are extremely tight in the watch winder and they cannot fall out with all kinds of risk of damage. These watch holders are flexible and are suitable for small and large watches. They are covered with fabric so that the watch sits securely on the watch holder.

The Benson Black Series Pro 12.19 watch winders have a modern design. The appearance is sleek and the watch winder is only available in the color black and carbon. The inside is covered with soft fabric so that the watches are safe. The watch winder stands on 4 stainless steel feet and has a door with glass. This guarantees you a good view of the rotating watches. Via the touchscreen you can control all functions including the LED lighting. Especially in the evening the rotating watches are a beautiful sight when the LED lighting is switched on.

The Benson Black Series Pro watch winders work on mains power via an adapter. The adapter is supplied with the watch winder and can be used in the EU, United Kingdom, United States and Asia.

When you are looking for a watch winder of good quality, you will want to set certain requirements. Because what exactly is a good watch winder and what conditions must it meet? And what are the best watch winders in this new year? In other words, what are the best watch winders of 2020?

If we look at the best watch winders in 2020, it is important to look at the history of a brand. There are brands with years of experience in this field, which know what the most important conditions are for a good quality watch winder and also have a high regard for innovation and development. In the field of the most modern technology and high-quality materials, they have the right knowledge to put the best of the best on the market. Of course a good watch winder is not only about quality and functionality, but also the looks. The right watch winder not only winds your watches in the right way, but is also a valuable aesthetic addition to your collection. In addition, a good watch winder protects your watches against external influences and prevents wear. Purchasing a good watch winder is therefore not always easy. Price range, functions and design play a major role.

The choice of a good watch winder is therefore of great importance if you are careful with your automatic watches. In short, the right watch winder is made of good and durable materials, provided with high-quality technology, reliable and suitable for automatic watches from all well-known watch brands. In addition, it is a big advantage if the watch winder is easy to operate and equipped with a quiet and energy-efficient motor. Products with a "Swiss made" label guarantee durability, quality and reliability. The watch winder brands Swiss Kubik and Bernard Favre are examples of brands with Swiss quality. The Dutch brand Benson has also achieved a good reputation with its Benson Black series watch winders. These watch winders are equipped with a silent Japanese motor. In addition to a high-quality engine, these three brands also have a common denominator. They are all equipped with modern techniques and extra functionalities. Consider, for example, an overwhelming protection and individually adjustable rotors. The Benson Black series also include LED lighting and an innovative touchscreen. The watch winders from both Bernard Favre and the Benson Black series also have a choice of different winding programs, making them suitable for any watch.

The watch winders of these three quality brands all have a luxurious look and are made from high-quality materials. Think of wood, stainless steel PVD, glass and leather. The Bernard Favre Planet watch winders have a unique appearance with the so-called "Planet Winding System" where the watch turns on its own axis during excitement, as if it were a planet. Swiss Kubik is characterized by compact and cube-shaped watch winders, in which the smaller models are very handy and therefore easy to carry. The Benson Black series show a plus because of the drawer at the bottom, which offers extra space to store other jewelry or, for example, cufflinks and rings. Both Bernard Favre, Swiss Kubik and the Benson Black series watch winders offer you a view of the watch during the winding process. This can also be an important condition for automatic watch enthusiasts.

Although the quality of a product is of course important, there is no doubt about taste. In terms of functionality and capacity, it naturally depends on what is important to you. If you want to be able to easily take your watch winder on a trip, a compact design is important. And then it can also be useful when it is powered by a battery. However, if you want a watch winder for your collection of watches, you will rather opt for a watch winder that offers space for multiple watches at the same time. But whatever your taste is and whatever conditions you set, these three watch winder brands are sure to have a watch winder of your choice.

Benson watch winders are the most attractive in terms of price. Swiss Kubik is slightly above this price and Bernard Favre watch winders are very luxurious and therefore more expensive.

How can you best place a watch in a watch winder?

Posted on 10 December 2019 at 2:49 PM

The watch winder as a watch accessory is intended to wind automatic watches, so that they do not stand still if they are not worn. The true watch enthusiast knows exactly what a watch winder is and how it works. However, there are also many people who have a collection of watches including automatic watches and want to buy a watch winder for the first time. On our website we tell you more about watch winders, the most important functions and which features you should pay more attention to when buying a watch winder. In this blog article we deal with the question how you can best place a watch in a watch winder.

To answer this question correctly, it is important to make a distinction between watch winders with a watch holder and a cushion. For watch winders with a watch holder, place the watch around the watch holder and then click the watch holder in the watch winder. This makes it secure and the watch cannot fall out. This risk is there with watch winders with cushions. You place the watch around the cushion and then place the cushion in the watch winder. It is not clicked into the watch winder, which in theory could cause the cushion with the watch to fall out. This could damage the watch.

Our advice is to always choose a watch winder where the watch holder is clicked into the watch winder. A good example of brands that offer this technique are Benson, Paul Design, Swiss Kubik and Heisse & Söhne. These brands not only offer good watch holders but also the other properties are of good quality.

To properly energize an automatic watch, the angle at which the watch turns is important. After all, if the angle is not sufficient, the rotor of the timepiece will not rotate and therefore the watch will not receive any energy. The best is a watch winder where the rotors are placed vertically and the watch is positioned upright in the watch winder. This ensures that the rotor is always sufficiently moved when the watch winder starts to turn. A watch winder that is too horizontal will not wind automatic watches. This is not due to the watches, but to the watch winder itself that is not in the right position.

It may make sense for watch lovers and those who have used a watch winder more often, but place a watch with the dial facing you in the watch winder. In other words, the watch face is still visible when the watch is in the watch winder. Of course it is important to properly secure the watch around the watch holder by means of the buckle or clasp of the watch so that it cannot fall off. If this does happen, the watch can be damaged or damage the inside of the watch winder.

A good position of the watch is very important. The position is determined by the watch winder itself and the watch holders. But just as important is that the watch holder is flexible and suitable for large and small automatic watches. This allows you to wind different automatic watches in the watch winder. Regardless of brand, model, men's or women's watches.

In conclusion, we can say that a watch winder that is vertical and has good watch holders is the best choice. Always be careful when placing watches in a watch winder so that they cannot fall out when the watch winder is running. This prevents damage to watches and the watch winder itself. After all, you want the best for your automatic watches!

Which country do the best watch winders come from?

Posted on 13 November 2019 at 1:19 PM

Watch winders come in many shapes and sizes and of course in different price ranges. The various different watch winders come from countries such as Germany, Switzerland, Italy and the United States, but also from China. What are the main advantages and disadvantages of watch winders from these different countries and the brands from these countries?

The differences in price, material, design and quality vary. Regarding the price, the most affordable watch winders come from China. But when you go for sustainability and quality in addition to a good and realistic price, is this still the right choice?

Switzerland is widely known as a watch country pur sang. Watch winders are of course irrefutably connected with this. Swiss-made watch winders from brands such as Swiss Kubik, Bernard Favre and RDI offer high-quality watch winders. The purchase price is higher than with watch winders from, for example, China, but with a Swiss-made label the durability and quality are guaranteed. Modern technology and unique designs ensure that you have an exceptional piece with a watch winder from Switzerland. With the extensive tests that the watch winders have to undergo and the high demands that are made according to the "Swiss made" designation, you are assured of a reliable and durable watch winder.

Chronovision is a high-quality watch winder brand from Germany. The German quality is one that, like the Swiss quality, is known as reliable and durable. Also the watch winders from Germany are initially more expensive than the watch winders from China. However, you will receive the necessary durability and guarantee in return. The Chronovision watch winders are made with materials from the Sauerland region and are often processed by hand. Each Chronovision watch winder consists of seventy parts and is assembled in twenty-three steps. All precision work and this also involves a lot of checking and testing. Chronovision is entitled to carry the "made in Germany" label that only happens when a brand meets the German standard. In addition, Chronovision provides technical gadgets such as a Bluetooth connection and an adjustable number of revolutions and direction of rotation is therefore very functional.

Orbita watch winders come from the United States. A brand that offers high quality and is also higher in purchase price. Before they started producing the high-quality watch winders, the people behind Orbita studied the operation of the watch very well. The corporate philosophy is: "creating products with lasting value and exceptional attention to detail, as well as products that people like to use." Innovation and quality are paramount at this brand. So you definitely get value for money.

The watch winders from Italy of the Scatola del Tempo brand are also of very high quality. The luxurious appearance of the watch winders, partly due to the beautiful use of materials, is characteristic. This brand is also in a higher price range, but goes for absolute class, style and quality. Many tests and developments have also been preceded by this.

In short, watch winders from Germany, Switzerland, Italy and the United States are considerably more expensive to purchase than a watch winder from China. But this often translates into sustainability, use of materials, guarantee, the hand of a professional and reliability. In addition, with the somewhat more expensive watch winders you can discover designs that are not only functional, but also a unique addition to your interior and collection. When you choose a watch winder from China, good research is very important. Are the required options present (for example, is it possible to rotate to both sides?) And what about the warranty?

In our webshop you will find watch winder brands that all meet our high standard. We have been working for many years with these brands that have proven their quality. As an official dealer we offer certainty, competitive prices and always a solution if there is a defect.
