Some would compare this to having a car running 24/7. Theoretically, keeping watches on winders working all the time could mean faster wearing down of parts, drying up of lubricants, and ultimately shorter service intervals. A winder takes all of that away.Īnd from a more technical perspective, there is another caveat with winders. This is purely subjective, but picking up a watch and giving the crowns a couple of turns then setting the time is an almost daily ritual I enjoy, a sort of intimate connection with these little analog machines.
AUTOMATIC WATCH WINDER MALAYSIA FREE
The Döttling Gyrowinder allows free rotation of the watch in all directions ensuring that your watches are always ready to go.īut on the flipside, resorting to a watch winder for a more hassle-free watch ownership experience does come with something I consider a price to pay, and that’s less hands-on time with one’s watches. With the exception of a handful of watches where the functions are integrated and can all be set at once via the crown or a single pusher, many complicated calendars require the owner to set each indication individually and in a specific order, making for a tedious process. This is especially handy with watches that have complex displays including annual and perpetual calendars as well as astronomical complications, where each function would require individual setting. Let’s face it, there’s a certain comfort in knowing that whatever automatic watch in your collection you decide to wear at any given time, it will be ready to go without having to adjust anything. But is keeping a watch on winder an absolute necessity or a superfluous accessory? In the past decade or so we’ve witnessed a surge in the number of watch winders and storage systems available for watch collectors, coming in all shapes, sizes, and prices. A simple question, yet one to which no definite answer exists.
