Buben & Zorweg watch winders keep the gears turning automatic watch is like a fine car: It’s a good idea Ato keep it running. But for watch collectors who own scores of automatic watches, it isn’t always possible to give them ample—or equal—time on the wrist to keep the gears in perpetual motion. That’s where watch winding boxes come in. These mechanisms allow owners to mount their automatic watches on the winder and know that the watches will be wound at the correct intervals to keep the gears sufficiently lubricated and in optimum working order, not to mention maintaining accurate time.
Buben & Zorweg is a leading manufacturer of both winding and jewelry boxes and is poised to expand distribution of its broad assortment of storage and travel cases. Founded in 1995 by Harald Buben and Christian Zorweg, in Austria, Buben & Zorweg has an exclusive deal with New York based Elite Watch Accessories LLC, to distribute the company’s products in the United States, Canada and the Caribbean.
One of the premium functions of the attractive Buben & Zorweg winding boxes is that they store and wind watches, but they also function as display cases. “Watches can definitely be considered ‘art on the wrist’ and like art collectors, watch collectors like to admire what they have,” says Norm Kushner, vice president of sales and marketing of Rabco Luxury Holdings LLC, parent company of Elite Watch Accessories.
And while a watch won’t be damaged if it’s allowed to wind down and ultimately stop ticking, complicated movements will have to be reset, causing an inconvenience to the owner as well as the obvious dilemma of altering the time slightly while resetting it. Perpetual calendars, in particular, should not be permitted to stop, as a continual time flow maintains its precision as well as perpetual accuracy of date, time, leap years and moon phases.
Time Mover The heart of Buben & Zorweg’s watch winders is its Time Mover®, which utilizes technology by Elma, located in Singen, Germany. The Time Mover has two modes of operation that are selected with the flick of a switch: cycle operation and continuous operation. In cycle operation mode, the Time Mover switches on every thirty minutes, winding the watch for six minutes in one direction. After a break of thirty minutes, the watch is turned for another six minutes in the opposite direction.
In continuous operation mode, the watch is wound for thirty minutes in one direction, then the direction changes and the Time Mover winds the watch for thirty minutes in the opposite direction. Buben & Zorweg recommends the continuous operation only for initially charging watches that have stopped. This two-way, alternating directional system, according to the company, means the wearer doesn’t have to know whether the watch is provided with an automatic winding mechanism in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.
