We stock very few watch winders for larger watches over 100g in weight which have a premium motor and technically optimised power transmission to guarantee a long lifespan. Based on our experience and tests of more than 1000 winders we can give you our opinion: an average watch winder is designed for a load of up to 100g of watch (however this is not specified by any manufacturer). There is a trend towards increasingly larger and heavier watches and this is problem for most watch winders. A good watch winder comes with a set of batteries that last 6-12 months (Swiss Kubik 3-5 years, Elma and Underwood 12-18 months).įurther information / watch winders for large, heavy watches Although many winders can be mains operated this is often problematic when storing the winder in a wardrobe or safe. An important reason to have intermittent operation is to do with battery consumption. Using a slip clutch in the winding mechanism the watch is not damaged if there are more than 1000 turns per day, but it is under a minimum amount of excess wear which I regard as insignificant. Why is intermittent operation required? There are hardly any movements which need more than 1000 turns per day. Not every movement can be wound in a particular direction which is why all notable manufacturers of watch winders use technology with right hand and left hand motion and intermittent operation (a sequence of winding and rest periods).
#AUTOMATIC WATCH WINDER CHINA PROFESSIONAL#
Professional watch winders are programmable or use an intelligent fuzzy logic control system. Our recommendation: if you have any doubts, ask for confirmation of the country of manufacture in writing Recently it has become increasingly the case that online shops stock our items and have the opposite opinion: they more or less expressly state that there is no difference in quality in watch winders from China. There are very few branded manufacturers whose production actually takes place in Europe, for example Elma, MTE, S1 Deluxe (Germany), Swiss Kubik (Switzerland) and Underwood (Switzerland, leatherworking from Italy) as well as Orbita (company based in Germany, produced in Austria and the USA).
As the saying goes: buy cheap, buy twice.įalse flags: to complicate matters further when it comes to purchasing, these Chinese watch winders are predominantly sold with German sounding names. The features of these products often stop working after a short time or have a large amount of background noise. In contrast to German or Austrian produced watch winders, which have a ball bearing mounted drive mechanism, use very economical gear motors whose running properties are very quiet and long lasting, Chinese watch winders use cheap, high speed motors which have cheaper plastic gears or belts which reduce the rotational speed and often must also wind multiple watches at the same time. Cheap Chinese watch winders often use very adventurous technology which is liable to break down and is proven not to last very well.
Recently the European market has been swamped with watch winders from China which at first glance look to be high quality - smart wood housing with piano lacquer etc. You shouldn't judge a watch winder on its outside appearance, but rather on its technology. Some owners of multiple automatic watches appreciate the luxury of a watch winder. Please note: the more complicated the watch, the more time and effort it will cost to reset the watch. It's nice to keep your watch at the right time, the right date, the right moon phase etc.
Watch winders keep automatic watches wound using rotary and vibration technology - in other words, the watch winder approximates the motion of your arm. After this it stops because there is no movement unless it's stored in a watch winder. The SevenFriday watch has an automatic winder, stainless steel case, black and gray dial, and cloth strap.What you need to know before purchase and what many others don't tell youĪn automatic watch runs for as long as it’s worn and also has a 24-72 hour power reserve.
