Good Watch Winder - You Don't Need To Wind Your Watch 24/7

Posted by texet on July 18th, 2014

Watch winders are very practical and useful devices that are used to keep automatic or self-winding watches running even when they are not worn. Automatic watches wind themselves using a moving weight within its mechanism. When the watch is worn, the weight rotates or swings, thus turning the winding mechanism inside. When the watch is not worn, it can no longer receive power, and therefore will stop working. Automatic watches can easily be wound manually, but this can be very inconvenient when you constantly have to wind the device to keep the time right.

Watch winders are devices that hold automatic watches and move them in a circular pattern in order to emulate the parts of human motion that is needed to operate the watch's self-winding mechanism.

While automatic watches cannot be technically over-wound as they are protected by a mechanism that disengages the winding process as the mainspring is wound fully, it is still more ideal to use a timer-based winder to prevent excessive wear on the watch's winding mechanism. Typically, watches only need 30 minutes of motion to keep it wound properly.

There are many types of watch winders available in the market today. Functional winders are built simply to perform their function, which is to wind one or more watches. These units generally hold the watch exteriorly, which is why they require tabletop placement or an ample space on a tall shelf. They resemble carnival rides because of their Ferris wheel-like configuration. Other winders are completely enclosed boxes that can easily be displayed even in a less spacious shelf or kept safe in a deposit box. Some winders even have heaters to keep the watch near the typical body temperature. You can select the mode in the Watch Winder by turning the watch according to the mode selected, with the cycle being repeated after a rest.

If you want a basic watch winder that offers good function and practicality, buy from trusted online retailers that specialize in small devices, gadgets, and accessories. Good online shops that offer home-office supplies, household equipment, electrical gadgets, and similar accessories offer the best value for your money when it comes to these kinds of products.

Make sure that you get a high-quality watch winder. An inferior one may damage the internal winding mechanism of your beloved watch. Automatic watches require an even distribution of motion. A poorly designed winder may not give your watch the kind of evenly distributed motion it requires.
