What do you use a watch winder for?

Posted on 11 April 2023 at 3:26 PM

The enthusiast of the automatic watch is probably familiar with the popular watch accessory they call a watch winder. If not, it's definitely time to find out more about it. A watch winder is an absolutely indispensable accessory when you own one or more automatic watches. An automatic watch functions in a different way than a quartz watch or a mechanical watch. Where a quartz watch works on battery, a mechanical watch functions through manual winding. An automatic watch, however, can only function through proper movement or manual winding via the crown. This movement is normally provided by the movement of your wrist, without you noticing it yourself.

The hand of the craftsman is therefore most clearly expressed in a watch with an automatic movement, because of the ingenious way in which it can function through movement. Many lovers of luxury watches therefore prefer automatic watches. However, there is also a disadvantage. If you don't have your watch on your wrist, it won't get the movement it needs. At that moment you can use the watch winder. When you take off your watch, place it in a high-quality watch winder. The watch winder then provides the movement that the watch normally gets through your own movements. As a result, the watch will still be wound when you are not wearing it. This prevents your automatic watch from stopping. This way you are also ahead of any inaccuracies in the time and date display and you also avoid having to set your watch again and again. In addition to excitement, movement also ensures optimal oil distribution in the movement of the watch. By placing your automatic watch in a watch winder when you are not wearing it, this oil distribution is immediately optimized.

In the first place, a watch winder serves for the aforementioned winding function. In addition, a good watch winder also offers a place where you can safely store your automatic watch or your watch collection. After all, you want the best for your luxury watches, to ensure that you enjoy them for as long as possible. It is certainly also important to opt for quality when you purchase a watch winder. After all, a high-quality watch winder ensures a winding that is safe for your automatic watches and also offers a safe storage place. With a quality watch winder, you choose to preserve your automatic watch or watch collection. For most enthusiasts and/or collectors, the appearance and design of a watch winder will also play an important role. There are therefore many different watch winder brands that offer watch winders with a luxurious look and/or a unique design. This allows you to present your watches in an appropriate way. There are also, for example, various watch winders available with built-in LED lighting. This allows you to illuminate your watches, so that they stand out extra nicely and are clearly visible in the watch winder. With a watch winder with a beautiful design and, for example, built-in LED lighting, it also functions as a display for your watch or watches.
