![]() But maybe you're a little afraid of having to tinker with such a valuable object, especially if you decide to take a few days off from wearing it. You know because you'll actually put your wrist right up against your ear just to hear the quiet clicking and ticking of the watch gears. It looks great, feels great, and even sounds great. Perhaps it was handed down to you as kind of a family heirloom. Let's pretend that you've just been given a beautiful automatic Rolex watch by a family member. ![]() We also had to get rid of the Versa Double we had before, due to strong magnetic closures on its door that could throw off a fine watch's accuracy. We did remove the Wold Heritage Double that had been included on our previous list, however, but that was due to the superiority of some other two-watch cases, the Rapport among them. Both the Wolf Roadster Triple Black and the Rapport London Perpetua III offer a lot of functionality here, with reliable brand names to back them up. The only problem is that different watches have different lengths of mainspring and different abilities when it comes to conserving that spring's energy, resulting in what's commonly referred to as a watch's power reserve.īecause of those differences, we looked for winders that had as much nuance as possible in their rotation patterns, with the ability to rotate in clockwise, counterclockwise, and bi-directional patterns being particularly important depending on the rotor design of a given watch. The best middle ground is a winder that can be programmed to move your watch in a similar pattern it would experience when worn daily on a wrist. ![]() Keeping your whole collection ticking can have a lot of advantages for the components inside, but overwinding a watch could be even more damaging than letting it stop every now and again. ![]() When you own more than one watch, that can get a little more complicated. Each one is essentially designed to be worn throughout a given day and rested at night, as though it were the only piece in a person's collection. As with the Tripletree Single, it doesn't offer a ton of settings, just five in fact, but we like that it can be set to automatically stop when the lid is opened and that it holds timepieces at an upward angle for easy viewing from above.Īutomatic watches require a delicate balance between winding and resting. The final affordable option we added during this update is the Mineesi LLS-01, which is a simple model that can accommodate men's women's watches on its soft pillow. All four of these are premium winders that are sure to impress and offer a wide variety of settings. If this sounds like you, we recommend looking to the Wolf Roadster Triple Black if you have multiple watches, or the Rapport London Perpetua III, Swiss Kubik Master Collection, and Wolf Heritage 270002 if you just have a single piece. We will admit it doesn't have the best aesthetic and probably wouldn't be suitable for someone with an expensive collection who wants a very elegant storage solution. As the name implies, the former holds two watches instead of one, yet it doesn't take up any more counter space than a single timepiece holder. ![]() Though it doesn't offer a lot of customizability, it should be more than suitable for the average person who just needs to keep a single watch wound.Īnother budget-friendly model we added is the Versa Automatic Double, which takes the place of the Versa Automatic Single. While it comes in a few finishes, we think the faux leather with contrast stitching is the most attractive, however, if you prefer something a bit more discreet, you can choose the piano black or wood grain options. We realize that not everyone has extremely expensive timepieces, and nobody wants to spend more on their winder than they did on the watch itself, so we made it a priority to add a couple of affordable options during this update. ![]()
