Keeping your Automatic Watch Ticking Over

Automatic watches are powered by movement. Many of the big names in watches are automatic such as Rolex. This means that when you don’t wear your watch for a prolonged period of time it will most likely stop, which can be frustrating as you will have to manually re-set the time.

There is a solution…… using a watch winder.

So, what is a watch winder exactly?

It’ s a rotating device that simulates the motion of a human, which powers an automatic watch. So, if you are lucky enough to have a collection of automatic watches then you’re obviously not going to be able to wear them all at the same time. Using a watch winder is perfect in this situation as it will keep the watches you’re not wearing running as they should. This in turn will mean that you will not have to manually adjust your watches. You can simply wear them when you like. It just makes life that bit easier.

What type of winder should you go for?

You have the option of single unit or a multi-headed unit. The choice is dependant on the number of watches you have. The multi-headed unit will be more beneficial if you a collection of automatic watches.

There are many brands manufacturing and selling watch winders but it really depends on how much you’re willing to spend. For example, Barrington watch winders cost as little as £100 but if you’re after the crème de la crème of watch winders then you should check out Buben & Zorweg . A watch winder from this company will set you back thousands of pounds.

These are just two examples of companies selling and producing watch winders but there are many others to choose from, so you will definitely find one that suits you, your watch and your budget.
