Jebely engaged in watchwinder business for many years, and they are always trying to create something unique. The brand spent a lot of time in research and development of watchwinders.

Daniel Lu who is the product designer of JBW092 enjoys traveling around the world, and taking pictures to capture every moment of his life. It inspired him to create this watchwinder with the shape of a camera lens. In order to provide better products, the designer focused on every detail to ensure the Jebely JBW092 watchwinder can meet the demand from the users.

Just like the previous successful product of Jebely, such as JBW090 and JBW091, the brand combined the materials of metal and plastic together to create a modern and younger style. Black represents elegance and silver is associated with prestige. The blue light of LCD panel creates a more high-tech and maturity appearance. It is just like a gentleman who focused on his work and that is exactly the reason why Jebely named this watchwinder “Noble One”.

The special part of this watchwinder is the cover, different from other watchwinders which use traditional bearing, Jebely did change the method of opening. This idea came from the action when you remove the cap/cover of a camera lens. It also looks like a camera lens when it zooms in and out.

The elevation angle of the Noble One watchwinder is 15 degrees which is the best viewing angle if you place it on your desk or bedside table. Some users may place the watchwinder into their safe or some other place without AC connection. The watchwinder includes two kind of power settings; battery and AC adapter. Currently, Jebely is keen on improving the power supply, like USB charging.

Jebely did choose a soft and adjustable pillow to fit all kinds of watches. And it also protects your watch from scraping and scratching. Most of the traditional watchwinders are available with 4 modes. But it can’t meet every watch rotation setting. The JBW092 offers stepless TPD from 650-3000.

Jebely also made some efforts to the product package which is important. The development of cover faces had several problems; for instance, the loud noise when opening the cover and the material selection. The result of continual development, testing, modification and retesting, Jebely decided to use rubber to cover the bearing and lower the sound when opening. Jebely also thinks about using the glass for the cover, but it leads to the concern of safety and results in weight increase. Jebely finalized the cover with thermoplastic which is easy to use.

The Taiwanese watchwinder brand Jebely will move on the way for different material combination and more stylish Jebely branded design. The brand does focus to change the image of watchwinders which is not just the accessory of mechanical watches. Jebely expects they can make watchwinders more stylish and create own value. 

Mid April we wrote an article about the new Black Series from the Dutch watchwinder brand Benson. Last week Benson informed us that they presented a video about their new line of watchwinders.

Of course we will share it with you, take a look at the Benson Black Series watchwinder video. 

The Dutch watchwinder brand Benson introduced early 2016 its new Black Series watchwinders. This new series reflects the modern ideas and innovation of this Dutch brand. The Black Series do have a modern design and offer all functions you need to wind and store your automatic watches. At Baselworld, Switzerland, we had the chance to meet with Benson and explore their newest Black Series watchwinders. We took this change to check the materials, finish and functions. We must admit, the watchwinders do function perfectly smooth and they look beautiful.

The Benson Black Series watchwinders are already reviewed by a few watch related websites. The general impression is that they are great. The watchwinders are made of solid materials, do have a good finish and the technique is reliable. Via the touchscreen you can set all preferences quite easily within seconds for each individual watch. The touchscreen works very smooth and is protected because it's located under the cover. This cover has also extra storage for other watches which you want to store safely. The watchwinders offer clockwise, counter-clockwise and alternate motion direction. Thereby it has adjustable TPD, which allows you to select the exact turns per day your automatic watch needs. Therefore the Benson Black Series watchwinders wind any automatic watch. 

The details are in the LED light, stainless steel feet and USB connection at the backside. At the backside is also the serial number, which comes back at the certificate which is designed by a young Dutch designer. 

When we combine these details with the functions and solid materials we think Benson has produced a very good watchwinder. Even better are the retail prices...we cannot think about another watchwinder brand which offers so much value of money. Soon we will present a review about the Black Series. We already have a Black Series 8.16.B watchwinder on our desk, to study and test. 

Benson told us at Baselworld that at this moment the brand has five distributors (USA, Canada, Netherlands, Belgium and Hong Kong). If you're interested in a Benson Black Series watchwinder then you can contact a distributor or local dealer. You can also purchase online via www.watchwinders.com. This online store ships world wide and you can pay by creditcard or Paypal, thereby they have all models in stock. 

Baselworld is without a doubt a unique and unmissable trendsetting show for the global watch and jewellery industry and Buben & Zörweg was once more among the elite of brands that celebrated the unveiling of their new collections.

Among the 145,000 attendees who visited Baselworld this year, we had the opportunity of visiting the Buben & Zörweg booth and talk with Ms. Simone Stocker. 

We discovered new Grande Private Museum where art, precious artefacts and valuable watches can be safeguarded and simultaneously presented in a suitable way. Last year Buben & Zörweg did present the first edition of this masterpiece, which was a big success resulting in a new edition. The state of the art VdS-certified technology from German high-security laboratories is combined with fascinating design and beautiful craftsmanship.

We also had the opportunity to discover a completely new line of luxury safes. The Orion collection was developed with the strong belief that a safe doesn‘t have to look like a strongbox. Instead, the exterior of finest Italian nappa leather, elegantly hand-stitched and featuring ornamental seams, surrounds state of the art security technology.

The Bespoke Line also made its debut at Baselworld and we were fascinated by the array of colours and colour combinations for precious coatings and finest leathers. The new concept is without a doubt a fascinating opportunity to transform a number of Buben & Zörweg unique masterpieces into customised, one-of-a-kind highlights befitting any luxurious interior in very little time.

Do you want a watchwinder with absolute class, craftmanship and even personalized to your demands? Buben & Zörweg is probably the first watchwinder brand you should consider when you have enough money. 

Next to many other watchwinder brands we also visited the booth of Wolf at Baselworld. This family owned company does produces watchwinders in the middle price segment. At Baselworld we spoke with the CEO mr. Simon Wolf.

The strong points of Wolf is its interesting price level, persuit for perfection and strong market position in the USA. Thereby the brand has a big collection with all kind of watchwinders and watch cases, which offers a lot to choose for consumers.

After a good cup of coffee mr. Simon Wolf did take us on a tour through his booth to show us the new Wolf watchwinders and explained us about the new materials and colours.

We haven’t that much experience with Wolf, but what we have seen in Basel looks good. We believe Wolf offers an acceptable price for its quality. Will be continued....
