“It’s impossible to exactly imitate somebody’s wrist movement, but the winders do replicate the motion,” says Kushner. Buben & Zorweg winders work for any type of automatic watch. Although operated by batteries, all watch winders (with the exception of the Time Mover Mobile) can be connected to current power by a plug-in power supply unit, with a guarantee of two years. In cycle operation, the batteries guarantee operation for approximately one year.
Buben & Zorweg uses upscale materials in carefully considered shapes, which adds to the allure. Solid cherry wood combined with selected root wood inlays give the boxes a unique character. Detail is also important to the company, and up to ten layers of lacquer are applied to the wooden products to achieve and maintain their elegant gloss. The Metropolitan I Time Mover (for one watch) retails for $1,450; Evolution 4 (for four watches) retails for $3,450; the Evolution 8 (for eight watches) retails for $6,000.
Buben & Zorweg also features watch collection cases that do not wind the watches but still house and display them in elegant form. Various cases house as little as three watches and as many as twenty-four, with prices ranging from $200 to $1,995. Time Travel.
For those who want to take their collection on the road—or at least a few watches to wear alternately—Buben & Zorweg also features a mobile line, featuring a portable Time Mover for automatics as well as sleek travel cases for any type of watch. The Time Mover Mobile was also developed in collaboration with Elma, offering users the same technology as the static winding boxes. The Time Mover Mobile starts at $995 retail for one watch.
To make the cases more portable and convenient for storing in luggage, the mobile line features soft and durable calfskin. For quartz or manual-wind watches that do not require an automated winding mechanism, Buben & Zorweg also has soft, slide-open watch cases that hold one or two watches (retail $180 and $300, respectively).
And since travelers may have more items to store than just their watches, Buben & Zorweg also has sleek jewelry boxes, featuring one, two and three drawers.
Ince 1988, when Peter Stas and Aletta Bax established SFrederique Constant, it has appealed to those with the fervor to succeed … appropriately defining its current slogan, “Live your passion.” In 1994, the brand’s first collection was introduced in cooperation with a Geneva watchmaker. Comprising six timepieces, the collection was fittingly deemed “The 18th Century Collection,” and introduced a lavish and affordable mechanical timepiece to the wristwatch industry. Frederique Constant is proudly named after Constant Stas (1880–1967) and Frederique Schreiner (1881–1969), the founding fathers of a watch industry marriage dating back to 1904.
