Why do our watch winders rely on batteries rather than AC/DC wall outlets to operate?
One advantage of the battery-powered watch winder is its portability, safety, and ease of use. This means expensive automatic watches maintained on winders can be easily stored in safes or drawers without the hazards associated with electrical outlets. Furthermore, your expensive and luxury timepieces can be stored wisely in a battery-operated watch winder in a bank safe-deposit box as well… To power your watch winder better we recommend using alkaline batteries for the best performance. Battery life is generally good for 10 to 12 months. Of course, for convenient usage or desired, a D/C (battery powered) winder can also be operated on A/C by using an AC/DC adapter, which plugs into a wall outlet.
