If you’re a watch expert or even just have an interest in watches then you probably already know what an automatic watch is and how watch winders work but just in case you’re not here’s a quick summary.

.

An automatic watch is a mechanical watch where the main spring is wound by the natural motion of your arm, providing the watch with energy to run. These watches come with a power reserve which means the watch can still function for a certain amount of time if you aren’t moving it. However if you take your watch off for longer than the power reserve has left it will stop and therefore will need to be set and wound before the next use, this is where a watch winder comes in. If when you take your watch off you put it in a winder then when it comes to wearing it again there will be no need to manually wind it.

There are many benefits to a watch winder such as they can extend the life of your watch. Inside your watch are many small gears and parts which all move seamlessly together for the watch to function. Although you should make sure your luxury watches undergo regular maintenance this alone will not stop wear and tear from the gears or parts of the watch. The lubricants in the watch help these gears run smoothly and reduce the wear and tear. If the gears stop moving for a long period of time, such as your automatic watch sitting still for past the power reserve duration this lubricant can dry up and cause there to be unnecessary wear and tear to the gears.

Another benefit of a watch winder is it can be a stylish way to safely store your timepiece as the watch is securely kept on a pillow in the winder, as well as wolf watch winders are handmade in many materials, colours and sizes so you are sure to find one to store your watches perfectly while still looking luxurious in their high quality finish.

Specifically a wolf watch winder is beneficial as they only wind your watch for 6 hours of the day, then go into sleep mode for 18 hours and unlike other watch winders they count the amount of rotations not estimate it with time to prevent your watch from being over wound, this along side the fact that they bi-directionally rotate to reduce the risk of any damage to your watch and better mimic the movemnt of your wrist. They are also the perfect companion for your night stand as they are virtually silent, so you can wake up with your watch wound and ready for the day without disrupting your important night sleep.

.

The other benefits of getting a wolf watch winder is that they can be cordless, they come with a power cable but also have batteries so can run for about 4 weeks continuously without being plugged in, this as well as the single cub winders are compact and perfect for travel. However wolf offer winders that can hold 2, 3, 6 or even more watches at once which all come in a variety of styles, materials and colours so you can find the perfect winder for your needs.
