Rotational Direction: Most automatic watches operate in a Clockwise (CW) or Counter Clockwise (CCW) rotation. However, there are a few luxury timepieces that rotate in one direction only. To learn more about your watch’s rotation setting, check the user manual of your timepiece. Programmable Features: Programmed timed winding operations are a crucial feature for a watch winder. As a rule of thumb, the timers for our watch winder should be set for 3 hours of operation and 9 hours of rest. Although it may cost you more initially, the longevity of your automatic watch is assured in the long run. If you decide to buy a watch winder without time winding function, we strongly recommend that you purchase a small appliance timer at your local hardware store. Battery Operated Watch Winders: All Orient Crown winders come with an AC/DC adapter. Certain models in our diverse watch winder collection are also available with battery operated functions. This lets you store your automatic watch in a safe or when you plan to display your watch winder without a power outlet in the vicinity. Number of winders: When choosing your perfect watch winder, understanding the winder’s rotation control option is beneficial. This way, you can choose a watch winder that has individual winders or one that boasts winding rotation simultaneously at the same time.
