Advice on watchwinder for Patek collection

I am not really looking for any view on the merits or demerits of a watchwinder (I believe in them!) But am looking to branch out into new manufacturer and looking to see who has hands on experience as a basis for further investigation. I have a couple of these Buben and Zorweg SafeMasters dotted around but my only real gripe is that they are not I individually programmable but rather each module is (thus 2 are programmed the same). The other odd thing about a winder designed for a safe is that the operations are on the top of the module which means you have to haul it out the safe to change direction etc etc. Top.of the range like this you would expect on the front Or at least blue tooth. I also.use Wolf which is great as each module can be individually programmed but find battery operation to be pretty poor and not nearly as long lasting as both BW and even the new Patek winder. Wolf made a really nice rechargeable module system that was discontinued. So what do I want: A) Delayed start (if watch is being worn and goes on winder I like to.let the winder start in 24 hours. Gives watch time to run down a bit) B) choosing hours of operation is always nice. I had a chronovision that you could.program to run between say 10 PM and 6 am so if you needed a watch it wasnt spinning around in a cycle C) individual programming for TPD, delayed start etc. If it is not a modular system then each winder should be able to be programmed differentl; D) bluetooth in this day and age just make sense. Great for downloads and software upgrades. E) variable number if TPD as I have different manufacturers with different directions and nu.ber of TPD F) expandable modular is attractive The one that intrigued me is SwissKubik as I think they could fill some my requirements. Chronovision had all the pedigree of getting it right but both didnt last and are in the dustbin. Anyone had any experience with swisskubik and whether it allows u to choose a delayed start. Any other manufacturers that do this as well? I couldnt see on Orbita and Scatola whether they did
