While Orbita seems to be the gold standard for watch winders,

May 16, 2018,23:46 PM
 

I opted for a 4 winder box with each winder able to be programmed independently in term of revolution per day and also the direction or bi-direction.


This is a good website to determine the winding requirements of your watch(es):
www.orbita.com

Unit also includes a remote control and light.

Can't recall the make and model anymore and tbh, I don't use it anymore. It was a nice novelty back then. And sometimes I still use it to showoff to house guests but now I prefer to wind my own watches. It's part of the ownership experience.

Hope this helps,
Alfred

As a newbie, which companies offers good, reliable watch winders? Nothing extravagant is necessary - as long as it's functional.

Orbita is the basic go to quality winder.

Thanks Bill - Bought the mini-watch winder for my one Patek. Should have gotten the one that has the battery-operated option, but still good.

Battery operated allows you to keep it running in your safe.

Got a few turning for over 6 years without any problems. And they are programmable per watch.

It really depends on your budget

My priority is always for one that is as silent as possible and also reliable. Rapport winders are not reliable in my experience. I have had two cog wheel winders which spent a fair amount of time being repaired at the Rapport workshop. Modalo is an extre...

if it does not hold the watch in place well and the watch actually falls off while rotating! Also different watch winders offer different rotations so it is good to get a winder with at least two or three different rotations not to mention they could rota...

I thought I knew quite a lot and then after meeting purists like Miranda, Patrick, Melvyn, Gordon, Richard, Tim and Ming, I realised that I knew very little relatively.

It's not a watchwinder, it's a sculpture in motion ()

This winder is a work of art and would make even an ordinary watch look spectacular!

Unless one has a watch, or watches with many complications that..

involve detailed setting of the functions is a watch winder really necessary? It's pretty simple to wind and set a 3 or 4 complication watch. By no means am I saying winders aren't necessary, I only asking if they are.
