Most watch collectors have one, a watch winder. It the best accessory for an automatic watch. Not only because it looks stunning to see your watches rotating in a beautiful watch winder. The use of a watch winder has also two very important advantages. 

The first is that your watches do not stop because lack of energy. The watch winder will provide energy to your watches so that all settings (time, date, moonphase, GMT etc etc) are correct and the watch is always ready to wear. It saves a lot of time and effort, especially when you have more automatic watches and/or watches with specific functions. In other words its very convenient to use a watch winder.

The second advantage is that using a watch winders protects the watch. Not only because it's safe inside a cabinet/case, but even more because the oil inside the watch stays fluid. When the movement has a lock of motion the oil can become more thick which can result in the watch having problems. You can compare it with a car. When you start and drive your car only once within 1-2 years you will experience all kinds of problems. It's not good for the car. When you drive it regularly and maintain it well, its the best for the car. 

The third advantage is quite important as well. The crown of a watch is one of the most fragile and vulnerable parts. When an automatic watch has no energy and you need to wind it manually and open the crown for setting the time (date, GMT, moonphase etc etc) the watch is very vulnerable, and the risk for damage/defects is quite high. Especially when it's morning and you're in a hurry...we all know this time of the day:) With a watch winder there is no need to open the crown many times. 

In general we certainly advise to use a watch winder. But more important is to choose the watch winder which fulfills your needs, a watch winder of good quality and also important a watch winder which offers good functions (all directions and adjustable TPD). The last advise is to buy it from a good watch winder reseller. 

In 2016 Benson launched its Black Series. With more than 200 resellers (mostly high end jewellers) worldwide an incredible success. Quickly after the launch several new models, as the Tower and Cabinet were presented next to a complete range of watch cases.  

Today the Dutch watch winder brand Benson presented its newest series: the new Benson Black Series Pro. This series contains 4 watch winder models; for 12 and 16 watches and in black piano or carbon fibre exterior finish. The design is based on the successful Black Series design. Modern, strong lines and functional. Each Benson Black Series Pro watch winder has Japanese motors, 2 touch screens, LED light, adjustable watch holders and a lock to keep the watches inside safe. 

With the touch screens you can set each rotor individually; the direction of rotation and the turns per day. Thereby you can select the power winding function which is specially to wind up an automatic watch in a very short time.  

The glass door allows you to have a great view on the rotating watches. These Benson Black Series Pro watch winders are not just functional, they are real eye catchers and a must have for the real watch collector. There is no need to store your watches at all kinds of places inside your home, it's much more convenient to have them all in a watch winder. There they are wound, safe and all together so you can quickly decide which one you want to wear that day. 

The new Benson Black Series Pro watch winders are in production now and will be available early 2019, in january. You can place a pre-order already at different resellers. The advantage of this is that you are guaranteed of a piece, and you receive one extra year of warranty (3 years instead of 2). But more important is that these watch winders offer all you need to wind your watches and are a beautiful watch accessory for the real watch adept. 

One of the most popular watch winders is a single watch winder. Single watch winders are produced by many brands and all of these single watch winders have their own advantages. Some run on batteries, others have a bluetooth or power winding function. All are having a compact design and are easy to place on a spot you like. Thereby they can be easily used during travel or on a holiday.

The Benson Black Series single watch winder is one we like a lot. It’s a compact watch winder but offers all functions you need. This watch winders offers LED light, touch screen control panel, adjustable watch holder and a built-in battery which gains it’s energy by an adapter. You can choose to let the watch winder run on the adapter or on the built-in battery which lasts for several weeks.

A big advantage is that you can choose between several exterior colours; black, white, macassar and carbon fibre. The stainless steel feet, nice push button to open the watch winder and possibility to charge the watch winder via USB are very nice details. In this price class there is not really another watch winder which offers all these functions. An important advantage of this watch winder is the door, it is protecting your watch against dust and moisture.

The Benson Black Series single watch winders are a perfect choice for a small watch collection. They can wind any automatic watch, regardless brand or model. The price is very acceptable and the design and finish of a high level.
