Our winders use a universal cushion design that fits most automatic watches, including larger sport and dive models. If you are unsure about your case size, message us before you order and we will check for you.

Most automatic movements are happy between 650 and 950 turns per day. Your watchmaker's recommendation always comes first — set the programme to match it, and leave the winder to do the rest.

Some movements wind clockwise, some counter-clockwise, and many wind both ways. If you do not know which yours is, bidirectional is the safe setting and works for almost every watch.

No. Our winders rest periodically rather than turning non-stop, which protects the mainspring, and you set the turns per day and the direction to match your movement.

The motors are chosen to run softly enough for a bedroom or a study. There is no clicking or grinding — at a normal listening distance you will mostly hear the room, not the winder.

Yes, for continuous winding. Depending on the model, power comes from a USB cable or a mains adapter, so you can run it from a socket, a laptop or a power bank.

Yes. With the power off it is simply a lined case for your watches, so it earns its place on the dresser either way.

Delivery is free and fully tracked from day one, and orders arrive in 6 to 10 working days.

We ship to addresses across the United Kingdom. If you are ordering from elsewhere, message us before you buy and we will tell you what is possible.

Every winder comes with a 3-year motor warranty, in writing. If the motor develops a fault within that time, contact us and we will repair or replace it.

Yes. You have 30 days to change your mind. Send it back in a condition we can resell and we will refund you — the full terms are in our refund policy.
