For any watch lover, investing in a winder can be a sound decision. Before looking at the reasons, it helps to understand what an automatic watch actually is.

What is an automatic watch?

An automatic watch is a mechanical watch powered by the energy generated by the movements of the wearer's wrist. Unlike quartz watches, which use a battery to drive the hands, automatic watches are powered by a self-winding system with a power reserve. That system uses a rotor, an oscillating weight that turns freely inside the watch case and moves with every motion of the wrist. This movement drives a mechanism that winds the watch's mainspring.

So as long as the watch is worn regularly, it winds itself, keeping its energy and its accuracy with no manual winding. But sometimes you do not wear your watch every day, or you own several automatic watches that you cannot wear at the same time.

The essential role of the automatic watch winder

This is where the automatic watch winder comes in. This small device keeps an automatic watch running even when you are not wearing it. It mimics the movements of the wrist by gently rotating the watch on a cushion inside the winder, driven by a quiet motor. Thanks to this technology, your watch stays wound and ready to wear, with no risk of stopping or losing time.

Can a winder damage my watch?

The answer is no. Automatic movements have a built-in mechanism that disengages once the watch is fully wound. This mechanism prevents over-winding and protects the watch's internal components, so it comes to no harm from continuous movement in the winder.

The benefits of using an automatic watch winder

Our high-quality automatic winders look after your watches and prevent a range of problems, such as:

• Your watches stopping and ageing prematurely.
• The time and cost of taking them to a professional for repair.
• Damage to the mechanism caused by winding by hand too often.
• The risk of losing or breaking your luxury watch in an accident.
• The risk of your timepieces being stolen.

To ensure the longevity and the accuracy of your automatic watch, it needs winding regularly. That happens automatically through the natural movement of your wrist when you wear it, or by hand for manual-winding watches.

That said, we recommend keeping your precious automatic watch in a winder when you are not wearing it. A winder keeps your watch wound and ready to wear at any moment. Whether you own a Rolex, a Patek Philippe, an Audemars Piguet or an Omega, your watches will always be ready and perfectly on time thanks to a winder. It is the ideal way to keep them ready to wear without worrying about winding them by hand.

The risks of winding by hand

Winding your watch by hand may seem like a good idea, but it carries certain risks. One of the most common problems is forgetting to screw the crown back down after winding. Wearing your watch in water afterwards — or even simply washing your hands — could cause costly damage requiring repairs at your watchmaker.

Using a winder saves you that trouble. It keeps your watch on time when you are not wearing it and adds protection against the effects of magnetism and dust. A winder is also a luxury accessory that not only protects your watches but shows them at their best.

The benefits of a watch winder go well beyond convenience — it plays an essential part in maintaining the watch's internal mechanics.

A winder is an accessory designed to display your watches while simulating the natural movement of the wrist. It stops your watch from running down, and keeps the internal watch oils from thickening. That saves you winding your watches by hand too often — and winding by hand too frequently can damage the internal mechanisms.
