Orbita is one of the watch winder brands we like a lot. They have passion for what they create and do. The brand has a positive reputation and many watch adepts love their Orbita watch winder. 

Founded by Chuck Agnoff in 1996 in Wilmington, North Carolina, Orbita is the leading producer and provider of premium watch winders in the world. While Orbita did not invent the mechanical exercising of watches, we did introduce a new, unprecedented level of quality. They began their endeavor by learning everything they could about mechanical watches, and then researched the gentlest way to wind them. From inception, the company philosophy has been to create products of lasting value and exceptional attention to detail, as well as products that people enjoy using. Important key values if you ask us.

When you travel a lot the Orbita Voyager watch winder is a great chouce. Orbita is the only watch winder company offering a winder of this kind. The Voyager uses the same unique mounting system employed on the Orbita Futura winders, and sets up easily wherever you are.

Automatic watches are designed to be worn, not stored and placed in a drawer. The lubricants used for these complex watch mechanisms tend to move away from critical surfaces when the watch is not “exercised”, causing wear when the watch is finally worn, which results in a loss of accuracy. A well-designed watch winder keeps unworn watches properly lubricated and ready to wear for any occasion. Needless to say, it also provides the owner with the convenience of not having to reset or adjust his or her watch after not being used for an extended period of time.

At Orbita they carefully select only the finest, timeless materials for their products, including handcrafted and detailed marquetry, the best grades of leather, sophisticated multi-layered lacquering, and the most modern carbon fibers. Orbita watch winders offer a lot of value for their money and therefore they are very popular.

In 2016 the Dutch watch winder brand Benson did launch their Black Series watch winders. This line of watch winders immediately became very popular and successful. With more than 250 resellers worldwide you can buy a Benson Black Series watch winder at high end jewellers and the better online watch winder shops. What makes the Benson Black Series watch winders so popular? This question is easy to answer for us....as we tested these watch winders for many months with several watches, from Tag Heuer, Seiko to Breitling. 

When we take a look at the Benson Black Series watch winders we see a very modern and stylish design. The materials are solid, functional and have a nice finish. The watch winders have a luxurious look and feel. When we take a look at the functions these watch winders are suitable to wind any automatic watch. The direction of rotation (right, left and alternate) can be set and also the number of revolutions per day (turns per day: TPD). This for each rotor individually, which allows you to set each winder exactly like the automatic watch demands. 

With the LED light you can create a perfect atmosphere to see the watches rotating. It's functional but mostly a feature which gives a nice look. The velvet inside the watch winders makes sure the watches cannot be scratched, they are perfectly safe inside. With the extra storage compartment you can store extra watches or even jewellery. 

The Benson Black Series watch winders are available for 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 automatic watches, and a few months ago Benson launched its Black Series Pro watch winders which are suitable to wind 12 and 16 watches. The nice thing is that these watch winders are available in different colours; black, white, macassar and carbon fibre. There are also two Limited Editions available, in brown and red colour (with padded leather on the outside). These last models are real eye catchers and limited at 250pc per model. 

All Benson Black Series watch winders are delivered with an universal adapter so you can use the watch winder worldwide. Thereby each watch winder comes with a manual, certificate and 2 years warranty. The prices are very acceptable and lower than any other watch winder brands offering the same quality. This makes the Benson Black Series watch winders a great choice. 

We enjoy our Benson Black Series watch winder everyday. It winds our automatic watches perfectly and the watch winder itself just looks great. In this price category it's the best watch winder available and we are looking forward to many new Benson watch winders to come. In our opinion Benson did a great job by producing high quality watch winders for a very reasonable price. Many consumers and retailers already know this as well, looking at the succes of the Benson Black Series watch winders. 

The watch winder brand Paul Design from the UK is one of the raising stars in the field of watch winders. The brand is original, produces good quality watch winders and has reasonable retail prices. Next to this the watch winders have a great functionality which makes it very easy to set each watch winder in combination with the automatic watches. All these aspects are important these days for a consumer. 

What we like most about Paul Design is that this UK based company produces high quality watch winders with a passion. This passion is to make it watch lovers more easy and offer a great product to wind and store his/her automatic watches. There are still brands which produce watch winders which are very expensive but offer low end technique, bad finish and noisy motors. The watch winders from Paul Design are the opposite, which makes them very popular. 

The Paul Design watch winders are sold by respectable shops and jewellers. Therefore warranty and good service is always offered. When you have several automatic watches but you don't want to shop in the price category of Buben & Zorweg, Stockinger or Kunstwinder then a Paul Design watch winder is a great choice. These watch winders do wind any automatic watch. The design and finish of these watch winders are very interesting, as it's a reflection of the passion of the brand. They don't want to offer just a watch winder, they want to offer a watch winder that the consumer enjoys and is a nice addition to the watches of the user. 

When you're looking for a well priced watch winder which offers great quality and functionality, then a Paul Design watch winder is the what you want to buy! 

The 58th edition of the Salone del Mobile, Milano, has just ended on a high note with a record attendance of visitors, many of whom were able to discover a surprising new world: the one exhibited by Buben & Zorweg, a name that is fast becoming synonymous with luxury watch winders.

Unveiled within the sophisticated ambience of its novel 140 square meter booth of the Salone del Mobile, Milano, Buben & Zorweg debuted the new Taurus, a safe with an outstanding design that catches the eye in any luxurious ambience, just like Orion and Galaxy do.

But the newest member of the Buben & Zorweg watch winder safe collection does not rely exclusively on its good looks to make a mark. With regard to security, it premieres an amazing Buben & Zorweg patented armouring material! An essential technical revolution in the field of safes and safety.

Known as protect pro, it is a composite of resin and stone, combined into a special material used in the body of the safe. Featuring a double argument, if on the one hand, the protect pro walls of the Taurus can withstand sophisticated attacks, on the other, they can reduce the weight of the safe by 30 per cent when compared to conventional safes. An outstanding technical performance while being attributed to a VdS security certification!

Internationally known as the Milan Furniture Fair, the Salone del Mobile, Milano is far more than a fair or a large-size exhibition. It is a reference point for professionals in the design and furniture sector to create top-quality products. This year, more than four hundred thousand people, including designers, architects, journalists, collectors and design enthusiasts, from over 160 countries, attended the Milan Design Week.

After all, the Salone del Mobile has the right creative environment for a brand like Buben & Zorweg to excel among the most recognised names in the world and to further establish a presence that, in the last few years, has become part of the exhibition itself.

Watch winders come in all kind of designs, shapes and sizes. Choosing the best watch winder for your personal watch collection is quite easy. Most important is to think about what style you prefer, what your budget is and how many automatic watches you want to wind inside the watch winder. Another question, but important as well, is where you want to place the watch winder. Or maybe you prefer a watch winder you can take with you easily as you're travelling a lot? 

Most watch lovers have their automatic watches in or nearby their bedroom. When you wake up and get dressed it's very handy to quickly select the watch you want to wear that day. When the watch winder is nearby, for example in your bedroom or in a cabinet or walk-in closet, it will only take a moment and you're ready for the day. But placing a watch winder nearby your bed can also result in a little bit of sound, because the watch winder has mechanical parts inside (motor and gearbox). Some people sleep very light and cannot sleep with the sound of a watch winder nearby. For those it's better to place the watch winder a little bit away from the bed. Normally a good watch winder, for example from Buben & Zörweg, Benson or Paul Design, can be placed next to the bed because of their low sound level. 

Other watch lovers place their watch winder in their living room, as they love to see their automatic watches rotating. And we have to admit, that's a beautiful sight, especially in the dark when the LED lights enlight the watches. Placing the watch winder in the living room also means that you share your watch collection with other people, for example friends or family. But of course also with people you prefer not seeing your watch collection. We always advise, when you want to place the watch winder in your living room, to place it a little bit out of sight, especially that it cannot be seen from outside. You don't want to attract the wrong attention. 

From experience we know that a watch winder can be placed very well inside an office. It looks very nice and therefore catches the eyes of clients and collegues. Thereby placing the watch winder at the office is convenient, as you can switch your watch whenever you like at different occasions. And when your work is done, what is more relaxing then to look at a rotating watch? 

Of course we also have the watch adepts who like to have a watch winder with them during their travels, business trips and holidays. Then the watch winder must be compact, easy to take with you and not very fragile. These watch winders are mostly ment for one automatic watch and work on batteries as well. A good example of a brand which is specialized in this type of watch winders is Swiss Kubik. The Swiss Kubik watch winders are compact, nice and do their job perfectly. 

A watch winder can be placed anywhere. You just have to think about what spot you prefer and where the watch winder, and therefore your watches, is safe. Of course it's also important  when the watch winder fits into the environment. It simply looks better!
