What is a Watch Winder, and why do I need one?
An Automatic Watch Winder is a sophisticated electronic device that keeps watches wound when you’re not wearing them. Non-battery operated watches need to be wound on a regular basis. Automatic watches were designed to remain fully wound while being worn on your wrist for a certain period of time each day. This is accomplished by utilizing a tiny rotor inside the watch that winds the mainspring when the wearer moves his/her wrist in day to day activity. However, the “power reserve” for most automatic watches is not more than around 44 hours. Automatic Watch Winders mimis the movement of your wrist by turning the watch and thus keeps the watch fully wound. For more info on Automatic Watch Winders click here.
