Collection: Watch Winders

Watch winders

A winder turns the automatic watch you are not wearing: it stays on time, and its date or moon-phase displays do not have to be set again.

How to choose

Three criteria: the number of watches to keep running, the settings offered, that is the direction of rotation and the number of turns per day, and the power supply, mains or batteries. Models with several places generally set each watch separately. See Watch winders: the guide.

The makers

Swiss Kubik for its compact cubes, Scatola del Tempo and Paul Design for their cases for several watches. To protect a collection, some safes include winders.

Frequently asked questions

Does a winder damage the watch? No, if it is set to the direction and number of turns the movement requires: it reproduces wear on the wrist.

How many turns per day? It depends on the movement: the brand of your watch states it. Most winders offer several programmes.

Does it turn all the time? No: it alternates rotations and pauses, like a watch being worn.
