II. Watching Winding Education
How to Keep your Watches Winded
When wearing an automatic-winding watch, it’s able to stay winded since the constant movements of your wrist keep the internal rotor spinning. However, if you have multiple automatic watches that spend time resting in storage boxes, chances are you’ll find that they’re not accurately up to date and time. That’s where watch winders come into play. Below you’ll find some commonly asked questions about watch winders and answers in order to educate your buying decisions.
Q. What is a watch winder?
A. Watch winders are mechanical devices that keep your automatic watches wound and in regular motion. Watch winders ensure that your watches operate smoothly and are set and ready to wear at a moments notice. They are especially advantageous to people who don’t wear watches everyday or have a large collection.
Q. Why are watch winders necessary?
A. When wearing a self-winding, automatic watch, the internal parts of it are designed to follow the pull of gravity through the natural movements of the wrist. Of course, watches aren’t always worn daily, so watch winders are meant to stimulate those very natural motions of the arm when watches are dormant. They are necessary because they can improve the lifetime and functioning quality of your automatic, self-winding watch since the gears are kept lubricated and moving.
Q. How do watch winders work?
A. A watch winder has a simple task: rotate an automatic watch enough to keep its mainspring at tension. They are designed to mimic the pulse that is found in your wrist when wearing automatic watching. Some watch winders run off batteries, while some use AC adapters that plug into your wall.
Q. How many automatic watches can watch winders hold at a time?
A. Watch winders are able to wind varying amounts of self-winding watches. Those with a smaller automatic watch collection may benefit from watch winders that wind one, two or three watches at a time. However, for those with multiple self-winding watches, your watch winding needs may need to extend further. Fortunately, there are watch winders that have a high holding capacity. There are quad watch winders and even some that wind six at a time if you should need to.
Q. What types of material are watch winders crafted in?
A. Watch winders are crafted in a plethora of materials and style designs to fit the preference of many different individuals. The most popular material used to make watch winders are of either wood or metal, both of which are very durable. Many styles can also then be covered in either leather, real or faux, or painted in vibrant colors. Some watch winders are boxes, where as some are cylindrical for a unique look.
