One of the best watch winder brands that offer a very good price/quality ratio is Benson. This Dutch brand is one of the most promising brands in the field of watch winders. The brand combines quality with sustainability and functionality.

This Dutch watch winder brand recently presented its latest models in the Black Series Pro collection. This collection contains watch winders with an extra large capacity for winding automatic watches. The Pro 12.19 and 16.19 models are suitable to wind 12 or 16 watches. The news is that Benson will soon be presenting two new models that are suitable for winding up 20 and 24 automatic watches. These new models have the same design and technology as the current Benson Black Series Pro models. 

The Benson Black Series Pro watch winders are characterized by a sleek and modern design, state-of-the-art technology, touch screens, LED lighting and individual control for each winder. This allows you to wind each watch individually according to the direction of rotation and the number of revolutions per day. The watch holder is adjustable so that it is suitable for every type of watch. You can wind watches from Rolex, Omega, Breitling, Patek, IWC etc etc. These watch winders from Benson will wind any automatic watch, regardless brand or model. 

The strong glass door of the Benson Black Series Pro watch winders offers a perfect view of the rotating watches and is also lockable by a key. On the inside of the watch winder you will find two touch screens to adjust each rotor individually and a drawer in which extra watches or other jewelry can be stored.

For the true watch enthusiast, a watch winder is a must have. However, for the real collector, a large watch winder with space for many automatic watches is a requirement. With the Benson Black Series Pro watch winders you have all watches directly available, safely stored and always ready to wear immediately, without having to wind the watch manually first. This not only saves a lot of time, but also improves the durability of the watch. After all, for manual winding and setting the time correctly you have to open the crown. The crown is one of the most vulnerable parts of a watch and you prefer to open and close as little as possible.

The Benson Black Series Pro watch winders are currently available for 12 and 16 watches, in the exterior colors black and carbon fiber. The new models that are suitable for 20 and 24 automatic watches and will be available soon. We already tested the version for 16 watches, and when the new models are as good they will be hard to resist for the watch collector who wants the best for his or her watches. 

At our office we have many watch winders which we test and write about in our blogs. Brands provide us their watch winders and we give our feedback. Therefore we see many  watch winders from different brands. We have to say that in general the quality is very good and that many brands spend a lot of time and effort on design, choosing the best materials and the finishing touch. The production of a good watch winder isn't very easy. The combination between electronics, mechanical parts such as motors and gearboxes and on the other hand the design is paramount. When one of these elements doesn't match with the rest, there isn't a balance. We test the watch winders with different methods and write a report, also to compare with watch winders which we tested before or will test in the future. We try to share this info in our blogs with you as reader of our watch winder blog. But where can you buy a good watch winder? 

This question is very important as there are many cowboys at the market. We have written several blog articles about these "brands" and "shops". The best way to buy a good watch winder is simply compare different shops and read articles or blogs. When you choose a shop please check if they sell well known watch winder brands, and if they are official dealer of those brands. These shops can be trusted and they offer various payment methods, solid warranty and they ship worldwide. We don't recommend watch winder shops which only sell one or two brands, or not well known brands. Mostly they buy their watch winders in China, put  their logo on an existing model and sell them for too much money in Europe or the US (see our articles about Aevitas and Barrington). These are no real brands such as Swiss Kubik, Buben & Zorweg, Benson or Bernard Favre. 

There are several good webshops where you can buy a great watch winder. One of the best shops is Watchwinders.com (and Watchwinders.nl). This watch winder shop is specialized in watch winders, has more than 15 years of experience, is official reseller of 15 well known brands, offers various payment options and ships worldwide. You can also take a look at Designhuette in Germany, which is interesting for people who live in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. 

And you can always contact a shop to receive more information or get advice. And in case you need more info from us, just contact us at info@watchwinder.com. We are happy to help you. 

In the field of watch winders there are a few watch winder brands which are really famous. Next to Buben & Zörweg, Orbita and Bernard Favre we can also count Swiss Kubik to this group. Swiss Kubik is a Swiss company which is specialized in producing high quality watch winders with a compact design and long battery life. Especially this last aspect is of great important, the most for watch collectors who want to store their watches in a safe. With the compact Swiss Kubik watch winders this is possible.

Swiss Kubik produces Swiss made watch winders. Their suppliers are all within a distance of 50km from the factory. The motors inside the watch winders do come from a Swiss motor manufacturer which has a long experience in producing motors for watch winder brands. Therefore the Swiss Kubik watch winders have a reliable motor, with great performance and durability. This is very important, as the motor is one of the most important parts of a watch winder.

What makes the Swiss Kubik watch winders popular is the fact that they are Swiss made and very compact. They don’t have a fancy design, but are very functional. You can take them with you during a trip or place them into a safe. Then the watches are safe, but also wound to wear them any moment you like.

Swiss Kubik watch winders are not cheap, but fairly priced. For a Swiss made product it’s a good price, especially for the single watch winders. Optional is the plexiglass front to protect your automatic watch. These watch winders can wind any automatic watch, regardless brand or model. When you want a Swiss made watch winder for your Swiss made watch, then Swiss Kubik is a great choice.

One of the most interesting new watch winder brands is Paul Design. This brand from the UK is a great addition to the current market of watch winders. Why? Because Paul Design does understand what a watch lover wants. Producing a good watch winder is not easy. There are so many important factors which make or break a watch winder. We have seen other brands such as Barrington and Aevitas, which simply copied designs from other brands. In fact they only place their own brand name on a watch winder produced by another factory or brand. In our opinion it's not what a professional watch winder brand should do. We are lucky that there are several other watch winder brands which take producing high quality watch winders very serious. Such a brand is Paul Design watch winders. 

Paul Design watch winders can be characterized as functional, beautiful and stylisch. The brand does invest a lot in innovations, technique and development. We visited the Paul Design watch winder factory and were surprised about the professional attitude and way of working. The brand is relatively new but the last years expanded very quickly. Paul Design is well known in Asia, Europe and the US. With premium online resellers as Watchwinders.com and Watchwinders.co.uk the brand is available worldwide. 

When you're looking for a watch winder the most important is that its functional, but of course you also want to have a nice looking watch winder. You want the best of both worlds. Paul Design offers this. Thereby the pricing is very attractive. Especially for the bigger watch winders which can wind up 8+ watches Paul Design offers great prices which are often lower than other respectable brands. 

In our opinion we need more brands as Paul Design. Choosing a good watch winder is not easy and if there are more brands which spend the same energy in producing this accessory for automatic watches it would be great! 

Do you recognize the feeling in the morning when you take your favorite automatic watch and then see it does stand still? You have to wind it, set the time and date and then you're ready to go. The thing is that you have to open the crown every time to adjust the time, date and other functions. The crown is one of the most weak parts of an automatic watch which can easily get loose or even break off. The repair costs are not low and you will be missing your watch for a time. The better that there is a solution; a watch winder.

A watch winder is an accessory which winds up your automatic watch, or even more automatic watches if you have. The watch winder does simulate the movement of the wrist and is therefore a very safe and good watch accessory to make sure your automatic watch never stands still. When you wake up you just take your watch out of the watch winder and start wearing it. There is no need to wind the movement and adjust the time, date or any other function. You're good to go. 

A watch winders doesn't only safe time and makes sure you don't have to pull out the crown all the time. It's also very handy to prevent wear. Because of the winding it keeps all parts inside the movement of the watch in good condition. You can compare it with a car. If you place the car in a garage and you never drive it you will experience many (costly) repairs. When you drive it regularly and you maintain it well you can enjoy it for many years. It's the same with a watch, which has many parts. 

When you decide to buy a watch winder it's important that you know which brands are good, what your budget is and how many watches you want to wind. There are several good watch winder shops, a good example is Watchwinders.com. This shop has more than 15 years experience, ships world wide, is official dealer of many brands and you can pay with different payment methods.
