Watch winder for 4 watches
You use a watch winder to provide automatic watches with energy. The watches are wound because the watch winder with watches rotates slowly. The spring in the timepiece is tensioned and when it relaxes the watch starts to run. The use of a watch winder is especially recommended if you have several automatic watches. It is not only easy and convenient but also better for your automatic watches. After all, standing still is a decline. If your watches are satding still for too long and are not worn, this can negatively affect the timepieces.
The watch winder is the most popular accessory for automatic watches. Watch enthusiasts have a watch winder and use it for their favorite watches, which they like to have ready to wear, but also want to protect against the disadvantages of a standstill.
In this blog we write about a watch winder that is suitable for winding 4 automatic watches. What should you pay attention to? What properties should this watch winder have and which brands/models are interesting to take a look at?
Watch winder for 4 automatic watches
If you have a few automatic watches that you like to wear alternately and absolutely do not want to come to a standstill, we definitely recommend using a watch winder. Depending on how many watches you have, you can choose a watch winder that is suitable for winding 4 watches. Choosing the correct size or capacity of the watch winder is an important part, because you do not want to choose a watch winder of which you do not use various rotors or you have too little space to wind watches. We advise to always choose a watch winder that has a little more space than your watch collection is large. For example, if you have 2 automatic watches, choose a watch winder for 3 or even 4 watches. If you have 4 automatic watches, choose a watch winder for 6 watches. Naturally, your purchasing behavior plays a major role. If you have a number of watches and you do not expand the collection, you can buy exactly the capacity you need. But if you know yourself that you sometimes buy a new watch, take into account a slightly larger capacity because then you have more options and you do not have to buy a watch winder with a larger capacity again soon.
It is also useful when the watch winder has extra storage space. Then, in addition to winding your favorite watches, you can also safely store other watches or jewelry in the same place. This is especially useful if you want to keep your watches and jewelry together, and you don't want to waste time if you want to wear your watch and jewelry.
The extra storage space is very useful, for example, for quartz watches that you do not have to wind in the watch winder itself. Always make sure that the storage space is equipped with a soft fabric on the inside so that your watches and jewelry are optimally protected. After all, you don't want your watches and/or jewelry to get small scratches. The extra storage space can be designed in a built-in drawer or a compartment under a lid. This differs per watch winder, as well as the number of watches and jewelry you can store. Of course this depends on the size of the watch winder itself. In a larger watch winder there is often more space for a larger storage space than in a small watch winder.
Desired functions and features
A watch winder for 4 automatic watches must meet a number of criteria. We think it is important that you can wind any automatic watch, regardless of brand or type. It does not matter if you have a Breitling, IWC, Seiko, Tag Heuer or Rolex watch. The watch winder must be able to wind these watches, regardless of the size or weight of the watches. A good watch winder for 4 watches has 2 important features; adjustable direction of rotation and adjustable number of revolutions per day (TPD: turns per day).
Each timepiece inside an automatic watch has a certain number of required revolutions per day (TPD) and gains energy when rotated in a certain direction. The directions of rotation are clockwise, counterclockwise or alternating. With an alternate direction of rotation, the watch is first rotated clockwise and then counterclockwise. The movement inside the automatic watch receives energy in both directions of rotation.
If you want to buy a watch winder for 4 watches, we also advise you to pay attention to the brand. There are many good brands on the market that produce excellent watch winders. However, there are also brands that offer poor quality by using poor motors, moderate materials and cheap labor. The result is that such a watch winder does not wind watches properly and will eventually show defects. Common problems are faulty motors, motors that make a lot of noise or even that the watch winder itself stops working completely. If you then have to send the watch winder to the selling party (perhaps purchased via Ebay, Amazon or Aliexpress), you will lose an amount of shipping costs. Below we discuss 5 watch winders that are suitable for winding 4 watches from brands that deliver excellent quality.
Also pay close attention to the build quality, materials and finish of the watch winder. These aspects largely determine the quality. A good watch winder for 4 watches is made of solid and high-quality materials such as wood, stainless steel, glass or high-quality plastic. For the finish you can think of the lacquer/paint, whether the inside is provided with a soft fabric to protect the watches, a good view of the rotating watches and the design itself. If attention has been paid to these aspects, then you are usually in the right place.
The operation is not entirely unimportant. Many older watch winder brands still have control via rotary buttons or small push buttons. This is old fashioned and outdated. Most modern watch winder models have an LCD or touchscreen. This allows you to operate the watch winder quickly and easily. In addition, it is also much more fun and beautiful.
