Automatic Watch Winder Features

The problem with most watch winders is they have a noisy, disruptive motor, they’re inefficient and they’re expensive. Most single watch winders cost between $200 and $400 and the price range can atually vary greatly, ranging from $25 for a cheap, plastic single watch model to over $50,000 for those “serious” automatic watch collectors or dealers that want a floor standing cabinet, 50 watchwinders, key locked glass doors, programmable motors, timers and more.

Here are some factors to consider when making a decision as to which watch winder will meet your needs:
Motor – Not all watch winders are created equal. Some models only move in one direction. Over a long period of use this repeated motion can actually wear out the winding mechanism prematurely. If you are going to be using your watch winder on a regular basis, look for a model that has variable direction motor. Also, if you are going to put your watch winder on display somewhere, you should consider getting a model that features a “silent” motor.
Timer – Many watch winders are equipped with an automatic timer. For example, the most popular watch winder on Amazon.com is the Zurich Time Double Automatic Watch Winder that features a timer that automatically winds for one hour and rests for three hours.
Power – If you travel on a regular basis and have several automatic watches, then make sure you get a watch winder that can run on batteries. Many models will operate on either AC power or batteries.
Watch holders – Make sure you get a model that has adjustable size watch holders so you can use your watch winders for all of your automatic watches, both now and in the future.
