What do you need a watch winder for?
An automatic watch is designed to stay fully wound whilst you are wearing it due to their sophisticated spring mechanism. The natural turns of your wrist and movements keep your watch wound. However, once you remove your watch, it will stop running in one or two days. If you put your watch in a watch winder, it will simulate the movements of your wrist so it will always be ready for you wear it.
A few reasons why you should buy a watch winder...
- They will keep your automatic watch wound even when they're not being worn. Usually, watches will stop running within 1-2 days of not being worn.
- Winders don't place the same level of stress on the watch that it would experience by constant manual winding.
- They keep your watch nicely displayed and they can be admired when not worn.
- Winding your watch keeps the lubricants flowing and prevents the oil inside from congealing.
- Watch winders are available for more than one watch, so you can have multiple watches ready to be worn at any time.
- Using a watch winder for a luxury watch secures its value and keeps it working properly.
