Delayed start...
Good thought about Delayed Start. I've never had a winder with that feature. And I do agree,
The B&Z models might be a good choice if you have a large safe. I personally haven't owned one, but most of them seem to be intended to be put on display. Yours however seem perfect for their surroundings!
I agree, a TPD display would be nice, but generally it adds to the cost and complexity. So I'm trying to recommend a more affordable product that I think is a good value. I don't want our readers to accuse me of being only into tourbillons and minute repeaters! Readers, please notice, I review more reasonably priced steel watches than I do gold tourbillons, it was just that one Vacheron Constantin tourbillon that one time!
I'd like to own a B&Z someday, I am definitely convinced they're good winders. Thanks for sharing your excellent thoughts!
WatchProSite Review: Scatola Del Tempo's Rotor One Winder Review
WatchProSite Moderator Patrick_y reviews the Scatola Del Tempo Rotor One watch winder. This review focuses on the strengths of the new Scatola Del Tempo Rotor One watch winder, and some of the thoughtful features integrated into this new winder. Photo Cre...
I just checked the Scatola Del Tempo USA website...
Official starting price is $550 without tax and without any optional extras (the Pepsi bezel insert is extra). And USA price is without sales tax. www.scatoladeltempous.com How do you like yours?
Superb review Patrick!
I am partial to watch winders and this I must admit is one of the best at that price range.
Yes! And you have a beautiful watch winder!
How's your beautiful watch winder? Has it been reliable? It certainly was expensive, but a work of art in its own right!
Thanks Patrick!
The Bernard Favre Planet is working admirably. I love it so much that I am about to acquire a set of three!! The only snag is that I need to fly to Singapore to get it and with the virus, I have to be a bit patient.
Safe travels!
Set of three! That'll be a nice little sculpture garden once arranged altogether!
Yes Patrick
It comes on an aluminium plinth so it should be quite a spectacle to have all three rotating simultaneously. For once, the watches may have to take a back seat!!
I'm imagining a console table...
Console table with hurricane lamps, gigantic candles, some vases with green moss and flowers, and a few watch winders scattered in there... The watches will be taking a back seat!
Remind Max the next time you see him!
Great guy, seems to me to be one of the few "good human beings" left within the watch industry.
I always thought that
most watchmakers were nice and humble. Kari Voutilainen for example for me is the humblest of beings. Roger Smith is affable. Rexhep Rexhepi is also a nice chap and I like Romain Gauthier too.
They're a necessary evil!
Watch winders are becoming a necessity for difficult to set watches that you don't wear daily.
I have a friend who has a Celestial who comes to me whenever it stops...
Those Patek Philippe Celestials are a pain to set! He has a watch winder, but he doesn't like them either. But with his collection, he really needs them! Badly!
It's a wonderful high quality manufacturer...however I really
Prefer a winder that has a delayed start. a fully wound watch off the wrist and placing it on a watchwinder that starts rotation. I like at least a 12 hour delay. Also the TPD during say a period when it will be on the winder. Say 10PM to 6 am. The Swiss...

Yes its bizarre you can get a watch for the
Price of a winder!!! The new Patek winder is also fantastic...not sure of price point but even has blue tooth
They're by SwissKubik!
The latest winders are by Swiss Kubik! But i find it strange that we are using Bluetooth and smartphones to help us use a mechanical watch. The Swiss watch industry has wanted us to feel that the two are kind of mutually exclusive. But now they have a pro...
Great they moving with the times. Remeber
Only 3 years ago how bad the PP website was and now it's great and they have instagram!
Instagram doesn't make the watch better, it just markets it differently. But I know what you mean. They're moving with the times.
I like companies that are not moving with the times I guess.
The question right now is who needs to adapt? Is it the consumer or the Swiss watch industry?
Smartwatches, particularly Apple Watch, now outsells the entire Swiss watch industry in units and soon in dollar value. Where will the Swiss watch industry be in twenty years? What can the Swiss watch industry do to adapt? They're not going to make better...
Great review Patrick! Interesting product here.
I admire the uniqueness of the design. Stackable, no. But uber cool? Definitely yes! Darn good looking Submersible there too. Thanks again, my Friend!
Thanks MichaelC!
Submersible is Scatola Del Tempo's watch, wished it were mine! Hmm, come to think of it, a 15202 would be nice to put on a winder! Setting that date gets a little annoying sometimes.
Cool tool! THAT TOOL BOX IS THE BEE'S KNEES!
I want what you've got; the 15202 with that tool box!
Thanks Patrick :-)
I have professed love for the 15202 many times. The watch box, it has been invaluable for me over the years, and has been used on many non-AP too.
That tool is just for winding the crown.
There are 3 different crown size fittings and a pointer for small buttons like on a perpetual. The screwdriver set is superb, every blade has an extra but I have never damaged one and am on the original set. The tweezers are also great, and the convention...
