Back in the old days prior to synthetic oils used in watches, watches that sat unused in a drawer would seize because the oil would harden. Whether a mechanical watch owner needs a winder is really up to the owner. Winders should be able to sit unnoticed when they are running. can’t program it), inexpensive motors make your watch winder sound like the old Timex display case at the corner pharmacy. Lastly, a good watch winder does this quietly. Subsequently, a good watch winder will sit dormant most of the time, but will spin clockwise, counterclockwise, or both, depending on programming that is based on how the winding rotor winds the mainspring in the watch. Good watch winders are designed such that they can be left on and programmed to turn a certain number of rotations per day, all split within the course of hours. Inexpensive winders spin mindlessly without any method for adjusting the TPD, and no method for turning them off other than a switch. Many companies use fine wood boxes such that they fit well with the house décor, a watch holding mechanism that is trustworthy, and a motor that is silent, can run all day, and can adjust the turns-per-day (TPD), and the direction. Good watch winders typically have solid cases and compliment the quality of the mechanical watch inside it. The mechanism, the clip or cup with a foam pad have been known to break in inexpensive winders, and the motor either giving out, running too fast, or not at all is what makes inexpensive winders not worth the box with which they are shipped. Inexpensive watch winders have sub-par case materials that can break easily. The construction of the watch winder case, the mechanism that holds the watch, and the quality/type of the motor are all points of failure in inexpensive watch winders, and combined with the relatively small production numbers, the reason why the good ones cost so much. It is a pretty simple concept, but for some reason one that is hard to accomplish without spending well into three digits. For some watches such as Rolex, simply picking up a Rolex, moving it from side to side to wind is a pretty simple affair, but for more complicated watches where annual calendars and moon phases are knocked out of whack by dormancy makes setting a mechanical much more of a chore.īy and large, watch winders are small boxes with a motor that battery powered or AC powered that slowly spins a cup that hold the watch.
Given that most mechanical watches are automatically wound by an oscillating weight inside the watch when the watch moves, watch winders fill a niche when the watch is not being worn. Many times this question is raised after one reads the Sky Mall or other mail order catalog where the “revolutionary” aspects of a watch winder are divulged in a general circulation magazine.
