Why should you invest in a watch winder? Simply, a watch winder is like a personal trainer, it keeps your timepiece in great shape! It makes sense, right?! You spend a good money on a Rolex, you want your investment to be sound for the long haul.
The function of the automatic watch winder is to keep your watch wound when not in use. It keeps the parts lubricated and moving but at the same time prevents watches from being over-worked. We recommend that you use a watch winder every time that you don’t wear it. Like your body, you should exercise your watch consistently. Thirty minutes a day is sufficient. Sounds like working out!
We also encourage you to check out Orbita, Eilux, and Wolf Designs watchwinders. For those of you who haven’t invested in a high quality watch winder yet, check out our shop here.
Make it your New Year’s Resolution to purchase one. This is a resolution that is easily achieved and you only have to do once! On the other hand, working out at the gym is harder to keep up with.

Another misconception is that a winder will wear on your watch. In reality the rotor actually stays still instead of rotating because the watch is rotating in full revolutions. No extra wear and tear in my opinion. Winder is a must.
