Watch winder

A watch winder keeps automatic watches in motion when they are not being worn. This preserves the power reserve and prevents functions such as the date, day of the week, or moon phase from needing to be reset regularly.

This is particularly beneficial for high-quality automatic watches or models with complications. Without regular movement, the watch will stop and often requires time-consuming adjustment before it can be worn again.

A watch winder is therefore particularly useful for owners of multiple watches or collectors who do not want to switch their timepieces daily. It ensures that each watch remains ready to wear at any time.

Whether a watch winder is necessary in an individual case depends on personal wearing habits. Those who wear their watch regularly do not necessarily need one. For everyone else, it offers a convenient and gentle solution.

Anyone who wants to explore the question in more detail of whether a watch winder makes sense will find a comprehensive explanation in our guide.

Our watch winder combines quality and design, perfectly tailored to the requirements of automatic watches. The robust cast aluminum housing supports even heavy watches effortlessly, while the durable direct drive ensures silent and reliable operation.

The elegant, cubic watch winder can be used as a stand-alone unit or, thanks to its modular concept, can be expanded as required to keep several watches in motion at the same time. An integrated rail system enables a secure mechanical connection and central power supply for up to nine stacked units.

The watch winder is as simple as it is well-thought-out: With a single button you can choose from nine rotation programs (600 to 1,800 revolutions per day) and three movement modes:

1. Clockwise
2. Counterclockwise
3. Alternating directions of rotation

A discreet LED display informs you of the current operating status at all times.

Your automatic watch is inserted or removed using a reliable locking mechanism that can be adapted to all strap types and sizes thanks to the spring clamp and adjustment mechanism.

The high-quality direct drive ensures pleasantly quiet operation. It can even be used in the bedroom. Even in absolutely silent environments, we were unable to detect any operating noise from a distance of 50 cm.

The BOTTA watch winder offers maximum flexibility: you can either use battery power (approx. 4 months' runtime) or the micro USB cable supplied. Battery operation also makes the device ideal for use in safes or vaults. If you connect several modules via the rail system, a single USB cable is sufficient to supply all units with power. Operation is extremely quiet – almost silent – and the watch is always reliably stopped in the 12 o'clock position.

Our watch winders feature an intelligent stacking function. Connecting strips on the top and bottom of the BOTTA Cube watch winder enable simple and secure coupling. Up to nine devices can be connected vertically, both mechanically and electrically, to form a tower. As a rule, one power supply unit is sufficient for this, provided that the power output is adequate.

Cubes placed next to each other each require their own power supply (see diagram). A matching complete set consisting of a power supply unit and cables is available as an option.
