We've recently covered whether you need a winder for your watch and our 2024 Buying Guide, but here is the one-stop article you need.
As a watch enthusiast, maintaining the functionality and longevity of your automatic watches is essential. A quality watch winder is the perfect solution to keep your timepieces running smoothly, even when not in use. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just starting out, choosing the best watch winder can make all the difference. In this guide, we’ll explore some top recommendations and why investing in a watch winder is crucial for maintaining your watches.
Why Do You Need a Watch Winder?
Automatic watches rely on your wrist movements to keep them running. If left unused, they will stop and need to be reset. A watch winder keeps your watch ticking when it's not on your wrist, ensuring it remains accurate and reducing wear and tear from frequent manual winding. With many different models available, it’s important to select one that fits your needs.
Best Watch Winders for Your Collection
1. Taurus Watch Winder
If you're looking for a sleek, smart, and the most premium option, look no further than our Taurus Watch Winder. This newly released model is like no other in the market - featuring a "Auto Start" door function. When the door is opened, the rotation is paused, and when the door is closed, the rotation resumes. It features multiple bidirection rotation modes, allowing you to customise the rotation modes to suit your watch’s specific needs. Finished in premium vegan leather and stitching, the Taurus is an excellent choice for both novice and experienced collectors who want to keep their timepieces in luxury.
2. Acrylic Watch Winders
For a more traditional look, acrylic watch winders offer a classic aesthetic that complements any décor. These models often come with both mahogany or piano finish black, making them perfect for collectors who likes to go for classical appearance. Various versions of this can be commonly found on the market, but see our best versions here - Carina Watch Winder (single slot) and Atlas Watch Winder (double slot).

3. Boutique Watch Winders
If you are all about that style, and like to stand out from the crowd, you may consider designer boutique watch winders. These don't come in the traditional box or vault looking shapes - they take non-conformative shapes that show character and presence wherever you place it. Cyclops Watch Winder is one that features a hatch cover and packed with the essential modern technology you need for a winder.
What to Look for in a Watch Winder
When searching for the best watch winder, consider the following factors:
- Build Quality: High-quality materials ensure the longevity of both the winder and your watches.
- Rotation Settings: A variety of settings allows you to match the winding cycle to your watch's specific needs.
- Noise Level: Look for models that offer quiet or silent operation.
- Design: Choose a winder that matches your personal style and fits seamlessly into the location you intend to put it.
