Watch winder information

Why use a watch winder?

If you have an automatic watch that you don’t wear every day, it’s quite inconvenient having to set it each time you wear the watch. A watch winder is the ideal solution. A watch winder makes sure your watch will keep running, even if you’re not wearing it. The watch winder rotates so the watch will wind itself up. Every now and then the watch winder stops to mimic natural wrist movement.

What type of watch is suitable for a watch winder?

Watch winders are made for automatic watches. Watches with a different type of clockwork can only be stored in the watch winder.

What type of watch winder do you need?

The type of watch winder you need, depends on your watch. Watchstraponline.com has a suitable watch winder for every type of clockwork (e.g., ETA, Valjoux). Watch winders that rotate left, right, or both left and right, are multi-functional and therefore the ones we recommend the most.

Some watch winders rotate continuously. With these, it’s very important to follow the directions carefully since they will need to be turned on and off at fixed times. Do you have a specific watch winder in mind and would you like some more information? Please contact us, we would love to give you advice (without any obligation).

Points of attention

Never place the watch winder in bright sunlight: this could damage the mechanism. Always make sure the watch can rotate freely and does not touch the lid or edge. Do you have a very large or heavy watch? Please contact us. We can advise whether the watch winder you have in mind is suitable for your watch.

Number of turns per day (TPD)

An average watch, be it an Audermars Piquet or a Rolex, requires a minimal TPD between 600 and 850 clockwise or counter clockwise. TPD stands for Turns Per Day: the number of rotations per day.
