Which watch winder is the best?
As the proud owner of one or more automatic watches, you naturally want to enjoy them for as long as possible and in the best possible condition. A high-quality automatic watch deserves proper care, and a watch winder is an exceptionally valuable accessory, one that is essentially indispensable if you want to provide your timepieces with exactly what they need. Not only does a watch winder offer a safe place to store your automatic watch, but it also provides the precise type of movement required to keep it running. This ensures that your watch does not come to a standstill when not being worn for a period of time, saving you the trouble of having to reset it each time you decide to wear it again. When purchasing a watch winder, it is important to prioritize quality; after all, it is an accessory to which you are entrusting your cherished timepiece. Reputable brands invest significant attention into the motors used and the safety of the winding process, while also opting for high-quality materials. Furthermore, there are substantial differences in terms of design, functionality, and price. To help you make the right choice, this article explores three exceptional watch winder series from renowned brands, collections that truly rank among the best available. Specifically, we will look at the Benson Black Series II, the Bernard Favre Planet series, and the Swiss Kubik Startbox series.

The first series we would like to highlight is the Benson Black Series II. Watch winders from this collection are an excellent choice for enthusiasts who value reliable performance while also seeking a device with a luxurious aesthetic and additional features. The watch winders in this series are handcrafted and feature a beautiful wooden exterior with a meticulously applied lacquer finish. Depending on the model, you can choose from finishes such as black, white, carbon fiber, Macassar, or walnut wood. The Benson Black Series II offers watch winders designed for two, four, six, or eight automatic watches. In addition, these units include extra storage space, which can be used for other watches or jewelry. The interior of the Benson Black Series II watch winders is lined with a soft fabric; this not only protects your timepieces but also enhances the luxurious feel of the units.
The Benson Black Series II watch winders are equipped with an elegant soft-close lid on top and a premium glass door on the front, shielding your watches from potentially harmful elements such as moisture, dust, and dirt. Each rotor is powered by an energy-efficient Japanese motor that operates silently, ensuring an optimal user experience. Using an innovative, energy-efficient touchscreen, you can set the preferred rotation direction and the number of rotations per day for each individual watch, ensuring that every timepiece receives the precise winding it requires. Furthermore, the Benson Black Series II features attractive multi-color LED lighting, allowing you to showcase your watches in the color of your choice. The watch winders also offer various rotation programs, clockwise (CW), counter-clockwise (CC), and alternating (Alt), as well as a "power winding" function and overwind protection. In addition, the watch winders in the Benson Black Series feature a start-stop function that ensures the motors stop whenever the watch winder door is opened. The watch winders from the Benson Black Series II come with a remote control, a certificate, and an adapter.
If you are looking for a watch winder with an exclusive design, the Bernard Favre Planet series is highly recommended. These watch winders feature a truly distinctive look, defined by their unique and original design. The watch holder is positioned within elegant rings, which are mounted on a beautifully crafted base. Furthermore, these models come with a stunning glass dome; this can be placed over the winder to protect your automatic watch from damage caused by factors such as condensation or dust, while also adding an extra aesthetic touch.
The Bernard Favre Planet watch winder series is available in various versions. At the core of these watch winders lies a high-end, Swiss-made motor, ensuring reliable and silent operation. They are also equipped with a battery that lasts for 100 days, allowing them to be used in locations without a nearby power outlet, such as inside a safe or a display cabinet. A convenient LED indicator makes it easy to check the status of the watch winder. In short, a Bernard Favre Planet watch winder offers an exclusive, unique design combined with superior Swiss engineering, placing these units among the very best available.
The final series of watch winders we would like to highlight comes from the well-known brand Swiss Kubik. This Swiss manufacturer is renowned for its compact, cube-shaped watch winders, which are widely appreciated for their exceptional reliability. The brand’s collection comprises several series, including the Swiss Kubik Startbox line, which serves as the brand’s entry-level offering. The Startbox is designed for enthusiasts seeking a high-quality watch winder, focusing on pure quality without unnecessary bells and whistles, at an attractive price point. Featuring a minimalist, cube-shaped design, these watch winders are highly space-efficient. Swiss Kubik Startbox winders are powered by Swiss-made motors, ensuring a reliable, quiet, and energy-efficient way to keep your automatic watch wound.
Choosing the right watch winder depends on several factors. Naturally, your budget is a primary consideration, but you should also think about how many automatic watches you need to wind, your preferences regarding the type of motor, and your specific design requirements.
