Why use a watch winder?

Many enthusiasts of beautiful, luxury automatic watches have already discovered the significant benefits of a good watch winder. This watch accessory allows you to enjoy your automatic watch with greater pleasure and peace of mind. A watch with an automatic movement has a certain charm. This is because this movement reflects the watchmaker's craft in its purest form. The sophisticated movements used in automatic watches are powered by movement. These watches therefore do not require a battery.

The movement the watch needs is provided by the movements of your wrist. Hence the name "automatic"; the watch winds automatically when you wear it—perfect! The downside, however, is that the movement the watch needs to function is lost when you're not wearing it. This means the watch will eventually stop running if you store it in a regular watch box or case. These watch accessories are perfectly suited for quartz watches (battery-powered) and mechanical watches (manually wound), but they don't offer what an automatic watch needs. A good watch winder does. Of course, you can safely store your automatic watch in a quality watch winder, but by providing the correct motion, it also winds the watch. This is generally done through rotation, but also by gently shaking the watch.

A watch winder therefore prevents your automatic watch from stopping. There are several reasons why you might want to prevent this. For example, you naturally want to be able to wear your watch immediately after putting it on, without having to reset it first. Nowadays, watches offer many nice features besides just displaying the time, such as a date display and GMT function. Having to completely reset your watch does take some time. Furthermore, a stoppage of your automatic watch can make it less accurate, which is something you, as a true luxury watch enthusiast, definitely want to avoid. The movements provided by the watch winder also ensure proper oil distribution throughout the watch, which will benefit the lifespan of your automatic watch.

In addition to winding and storing, an elegantly designed watch winder also serves as a display for your automatic watch. Many enthusiasts, and especially collectors, enjoy displaying their beloved watches in style and professionally. Therefore, various brands dedicate considerable time and attention to the design of their watch accessories. Watch winders are available in the most unique designs, crafted from the finest materials.

For example, within the collections of various brands, you can choose from models made of leather, various beautiful woods, and stainless steel. Many watch winders feature a beautiful glass door. This not only completes the look but also offers protection against damage from moisture or dirt, for example. If you prefer, you can even opt for a design with built-in LED lighting. This allows you to clearly see your automatic watches throughout the day and literally puts them in the spotlight in a beautiful way. If the appearance of a watch winder is less important, you can also opt for a high-quality watch winder with a simple design. These safely power your automatic watch but are more affordable due to their more basic design.

There are also many different options when it comes to capacity. For example, you can choose a model suitable for winding a single automatic watch, but there are also designs with space for several or even an entire collection of automatic watches. It's important that the rotors can be individually controlled for optimal winding of every automatic watch, as the needs of different automatic watches vary.

All in all, a good watch winder is the ultimate watch accessory, allowing you to enjoy your automatic watch with peace of mind. With this advanced solution, your automatic watch is always ready to use, without having to worry about it stopping and the potential unpleasant consequences. Moreover, a good watch winder provides your automatic watch with a safe storage space, reducing the risk of unnecessary wear and tear or damage, allowing you to enjoy your watch for longer.

Finally, you can display your automatic watch or watch collection with even more pleasure in an elegant watch winder. The watch winder is therefore inextricably linked to the automatic watch.
