A beautiful display case and winder for 1 automatic watch. This wooden watch winder box works well with almost all automatic watches, including those from brands like Rolex, Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, Panerai, Hublot, and Richard Mille.
SAFE: Like our other collection of watch winders, this watch winder for 1 is equipped with a safety program that ensures that they can never over-wind a timepiece.
CONVENIENT: Individually programmed rotors and 5 winding programs to meet all existing winding requirements.
FITS ALL WATCHES: Telescopic watch holders fit any bracelet and strap size. Our Patented new watch holder is large enough for Men's Larger Wrist Sizes yet versatile enough to set watches of smaller wrist sizes. Holds Watches up to 70mm Wide. Watch Holder for all wrist sizes from 16 to 22cm.
MABUCHI MOTOR: Driven by the latest premium Mabuchi Japanese motor at a safe distance to avoid magnetisation. Mabuchi is a well-known brand that makes precision motors. These motors control noise under 10db that even though you put it in your bedroom it can also offer you an extremely quiet experience.
INTERIOR BACKLIGHT: White backlight
POWER SUPPLY: The watch winder is powered by an AC Adapter(included).
The wrist size of the watch cushion is 18.5 CM -22 CM
Our winder cushions are designed to fit 95% of watch sizes. If you find your watch too small to fit, you could try leaving the clasp open. If you find your watch too large to fit comfortably, use fabric/foam inserts to pad the back of the watch.
You can program this winder using its knob control. There are 5 pre-programmed winding and rotation modes available for easy use.
Mode 1: OFF - no rotation
Mode 2: Clockwise - Turns 2 minutes clockwise and then rests for 6 minutes, then repeats (Approx 1100 TPD)

Mode 4: Bi-Directional - Turns 2 minutes clockwise and rests for 6 minutes then turns 2 minutes counter-clockwise and rests for 6 minutes, then repeats. (Approx 1100 TPD)
Recommended for most watches.
Mode 5: Quick charge Bi-Directional - turns clockwise for 5 minutes then turns counter-clockwise for 5 minutes. This cycle will continue for 3 hours then will rest for 9 hours, then repeats (Approx 2200 TPD) Recommended for short term quick charging use.

Good to know
Engineered for automatics
It can't overwind your watch
Our watch winders rest much more than they spin, in order to mimic a watch being worn on a wrist — and modern automatic movements disengage their winding mechanism once fully wound — a winder simply keeps the mainspring topped up the way daily wear would.
Not sure which setting?
Use the watch-match tool above — pick your brand and model and we'll show the recommended direction and turns per day from our database of thousands of watches. Then dial it in per rotor and check the power reserve after 48 hours.
Plug in and forget it
Run it on the included AC adapter — that's the way we recommend — and every program fires on schedule for years. Where a battery option is fitted, it's there for travel or shelves without a socket.

Watch winder FAQs
Look your watch up in the watch-match tool above — it covers the top 40 brands, and the full database covers thousands more. If your watch isn't listed, set 950 TPD, bi-directional: that suits the vast majority of automatics. Check the power reserve after 48 hours and adjust if needed.
No — modern automatics disengage the winding mechanism once fully wound. A sensible TPD setting means the winder rests a lot and simply keeps the watch topped up the way wearing it would.
Our winders run premium Japanese motors — the quiet benchmark among winder mechanisms. Quiet enough for a bedside table or a silent office.
Use the included AC adapter — that's our recommendation for everyday winding, and it never misses a program. Where a battery option is fitted, keep it for travel or a display shelf without a socket nearby.
Yes — these winders are designed to fit 99%+ of automatic watches. Cushion sizes and the maximum watch face size are listed in each model's specifications. If you have particularly small or large wrists consider a model with telescopic cushions.
Any self-winding (automatic) watch benefits. Quartz and hand-wound watches don't need a winder — a watch box keeps those safe instead.
Every winder is covered by our 2-year warranty, with support from our Sydney team whenever you need it.
