Automatic Watch Winder - Keeping Your Watch Wound Up and Ready to Go!

Automatic watch winders are useful accessories for the upkeep and display of automatic self-winding watches. The main purpose of an automatic watch winder is to keep one or more watches wound-up and running when they are not being worn.

Why You Need an Automatic Watch Winder

An automatic watch winder is a device with an internal electric motor that rotates watches in a circular motion to mimic the natural wrist movement. This rotation keeps your automatic watch wound-up when your are not wearing it so it will be ready-to-go when you need it.

Many watch winders have built in electronic timers that use pre-programmed sequences to rotate the watch clockwise, counterclockwise, and bi-directionally to avoid over winding.  

Keeping your watch wound at all times is especially useful if you do not wear your watch every day, or if your watch has complex functions such as a perpetual calendar or moon phases.

It is also important to keep an automatic watch wound–up and running so the lubricants inside the watch will not congeal—which can reduce the accuracy of the watch.

Automatic watch winders are constructed of high quality wood, leather, and plastic materials.  

Many of the finest winders are made of beautifully grained wood or burl wood that rival the most expensive jewelry boxes.   Popular finishes include cherry, mahogany, burl, and black lacquer.  

In addition to the fine finishes, most watch winder boxes have a clear glass cover or window so you can see the rotating watch.

Top brand names include Steinhausen, Orbita, Wolf, Diplomat, along with Garmin, Heiden, Regency, Tech Swiss, and Rothenchild.

You can get units that hold only one watch, or multi-watch units that hold eight or more watches.   Watch winders vary greatly in price. Entry level winders can be purchased for as little as $29 on sale and as much as $5,000.00 or more for top of the line premium cases.

There is a wide range of styles and prices, so you have a lot to choose from.
