When you’re interested in buying a watch winder for your automatic watches you probably check online stores or visit your local jeweller.

Then it’s hard to get good advice which watch winder suits your automatic watches the best. That’s a problem as you want the best for your beloved automatic watches.

When you check the internet there are some shops which sell watch winders. Most of them do sell unknown brands (China brands) for very low prices. These watch winders won’t last long and at the end are more expensive (in terms of shipping, repair, replacement etc etc) than a good watch winder which cost a little more. Thereby, most online watch winder stores have a lack of knowledge and experience in the field of watch winders which is a good reason to choose for a respectable online store.

Winding your watch is more and more important nowadays. When you want to wind your automatic watch with a watch winder it's important to know the exact needed TPD (turns per day) and direction of rotation the watch needs to get wound. This depends on the exact movement inside the watch. There are many watch brands and many watch models, and therefore many different types of automatic movements. There are automatic movements from ETA, Sellita, Miyota but also from many others. When you select the wrong settings at the watch winder your automatic watch won't get energy at all and a stand still is the result. 

On the internet are several databases available where you can select the specific watch with its needed TPD and direction of rotation (clockwise, counter clockwise and alternate). The main rule is that most automatic watches (90-95%) are wound at 900 TPD in a clockwise direction. But it's always good to check before you buy a watch winder. It's even better to buy a watch winder which offers selectable TPD and direction of rotation, so you're always safe and you can wind any automatic watch, regardless brand or model. Such a watch winder covers all (regular) TPD and directions. Most cheap watch winders have a pre-set number of TPD and only rotate clockwise.....If it's okay for your specific watch it's good, but we always recommend to buy a watch winder which offers more flexibility. It's simply better for the future, when you might change your watch or buy new watches which you also want to wind in the watch winder. 

All good watch winders offer the functions that you can set each rotor individually in terms of rotation direction and TPD. Mostly you can set it with knobs or buttons. More luxury watch winders do offer a touchscreen where you can select all functions, a bit the same as on a mobile phone. 

Watch winder brands which offer you all flexibility are for example; Bernard Favre, Orbita, Benson and Paul Design. Any of these brands you choose (as they are priced differently) you always can set the watch winder exactly as you like, to wind your favorite watches without any problem. 

Always spend a bit more money to make sure you buy a watch winder which offers you the best flexibility which makes it more durable. At the end, it will save you money and you will be a lot more satisfied than buying a cheap watch winder without any flexibility. 

Please visit the websites of the above mentioned brands, you will see the great watch winders they offer which are perfect to wind any automatic watch. 

Here in Europe we can buy any watch winder we like. There are so many brands on the market and normally you get a good watch winder for a reasonable price. Some prefer a modern style others are more classical style. When you prefer a more classical style an Orbita watch winder is a great choice. This US brand produces high quality watch winders with a very stylish and traditional design. Orbita watch winders wind any automatic watch regardless brand or model. You can also check the exact settings, related to your specific automatic watch, how to set the watch winder on the website of Orbita. This is a big advantage and very smart of Orbita. 

What we like about Orbita is the craftmanship and passion to create real nice watch winders which you can use for many years. The details are beautiful and the used materials of a very high level. We have seen many Orbita watch winders and everytime they do the job perfectly. There is nothing worse than a bad watch winder, we wrote about several brands which you can better not consider to buy, which doesn't provide energy to your watches. There is no such thing as a very cheap watch winder which gives you years of joy. Always compare different brands and watch winder models, ask advise and check the specific functions the watch winder offers. 

An Orbita watch winder is always a good choice. Many watch adepts have an Orbita watch winder and after years they still love it. Why? Because of the attention to detail, passion for watch winder making and reliable service.
