Do You Know How Watch Winder Works?

Watch winder, also known as automatic watch winder or automatic watch winder box, which usually refers to a watch box with a motor for automatic winding of high-end mechanical watches. You can also call watch winder as automatic winding watch box, automatic winding motor watch box, motor box.

Components of Watch Winder

1. Watch Case

Looking at the watch winder market, we find that it is dazzling. The various shapes of watch winders are overwhelming, and this is then attributed to the watch box. Watch winders come in a variety of materials, the most common we see is the wooden watch box, this material is beautiful pattern, and rich texture. Especially after many processes, the surface of the wooden watch box is more smooth. It can be placed at home not only for watch winding, but also as a good decoration. In addition to wooden watch boxes, there are also leather ones. Wolf and Rapport, for example, have leather watch boxes, which are beautifully crafted. Our Jqueen also has a leather case. The leather is soft and the alignment is smooth, while the classic black and red Ferrari color scheme makes the whole watch box look a lot more advanced.

2. Motor

Our watch winder uses high quality Japanese upgraded Mabuchi motor which is a well-known brand to make 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.

3. Dial

The dial is also available in wood, leather or velvet wrapped.

4. Pillow:

The pillow can be roughly divided into conventional and stretch models. Most of the regular models are leather and velvet pillows. Stretch models are generally made of plastic, this style is more convenient and flexible, even a very long strap can also be assembled on.

Working Principle of Watch Winder

A watch winder is a watch box equipped with a micro motor, driven by a battery or external power supply, and controlled by a gearshift and switch. This watch box is equipped with a small rotatable dial, which is driven by the micro motor and slowly rotates, and the mechanical watch is placed inside this dial to achieve the effect of automatic winding.
