I use a winder.
It's a windmill type that rotates the watches on two axes. A winder that rotates only one axis keeps the watch in the same plane at all times, concentrating the wear on the points on which the pivots rest in that plane. Through experimentation I have become convinced that single-plane winders at least reduce service intervals, if not actually causing damage.

What? nobody here uses a watch winder? I typed in that title on the "Forum Search" and received a message that there are no results! I'm sure a few of you have purchased a winder for your perpetuals. I recently purchased a Scatola del Tempo model and have...
I do not endorse this winder ...
But perhaps Bernard can give you some advice? Click here for the original post ... Andrew Ps. I don't use winders, Ron, but hopefully you will get more helpful advice than I can give!...

I do use it.
Orbita Sparta 2 Delux. But I don't keep it on all the time. I have only two automatic watches and one of them has power reserve meter. I stop both of the winders before one of them hits "full". Then a day and a half or two later when PR meter is in the re...
I own
winders from quite a few brands and one thing I do notice, is that you don't want to go cheap, at least not too cheap. I used to think it's really just a slow winding motors w/ a few electronics circuit boards, while it's mostly true, the quality of these...

Thanks to everyone for your responses. All of the issues mentioned are helpful. I purchased the STD because it is programmable. I do get a little concerned about the wear and tear on the watches but consider the trade-off worthwhile for my perpetuals. Hap...

Yes, I do use them!
I have had real good success with Orbita....I have a 6 programable watch winder that I bought a few years ago and have had real good success with it. I liked it so much that I bought my wife two Orbital Sparta winders for two of her watches for Christmas!...
