Watch winders are mechanical devices, using a motor system, to keep your automatic or "self-winding" watches wind up when you are not wearing the watches. Watch winder products in general, are suppose to simulate the movement of a human arm, and converting such moving mechanical energy into micro electrical energy to power the moving mechanism of the watches. Thus, the annoying and inconvenience problem of having to reset your watch every few days when you are not wearing it, can then be resolved by using a properly designed and constructed watchwinder. In short, a watch winder would try to mimic the effect of a watch being worn on human wrist, with periodic movement and thus provide power to run the watch's internal moving mechanism. Such movement is in general employs the "Law of Gravity" principle, which is the basic principle why a self winding or automatic watch can be powered by an angular type of movements of the arm. However, a watch winder must be designed to follow the Law of Gravity principle for it to properly wind up an automatic watch. Some winders in the market, manufactured by some unknowledgeable manufacturers, simply do not understand such principle and the result is that their winder products can hardly wind up an automatic watch. Watch winders, in general, can be categorized into 3 categories. A basic spinner, a simple electronic winder, or, a full automatic electronic watch winder. The first category, a basic spinner, is simply a device (usually a basic box) with a motor attach to it. They only provide a simple one or two directional turning mode, that turn your watch continuously. One have to manually turn off the winder to stop the turning. Or, have to use an external timer to stop the winder. Usage of these "spinner" devices could cause adverse harmful effect to your watches. Please read the watchwinder alert guide for more details. The 2nd category, a simple electronic winder, provide limited electronic functions such as turning in clockwise or counterclockwise direction selectable by users, might also has a build in timer to stop the unit in a certain time period. This type of winder, while more functional than the "spinner" type of winders, could still cause over-stressing to your watches if not used properly. Please view our watch winder info alert guide for details. The 3rd category, a fully electronic automatic watch winder, is fully controlled by an internal circuit board. No manual intervention or external timer is required. It will automatically turn off the winder at a designated time, and has the capability of providing a "Turn and Rest" movement so that the chance of over-stressing your automatic watch is kept to a minimum. See the Watch Winder Info guide for details. Also, it would also provide the 3 turning modes so that all brands of watch winders can be accommodated. The 3 turning modes are: clockwise, counter-clockwise, and Alternate Bi-directional mode. Alternate Bi-directional mode means that the winder will automatic turn clockwise, stop, then turn counter-clockwise, and repeat the cycle at a pre-determined period of time as controlled by the internal circuit board programming. This Alternate turning mode is essential for watches like Rolex, which is best to wind up in this mode for optimum winding. All our ERS watch winders, no matter it is for one, two or four watches, belong to the 3rd category. Providing full electronic automatic functions, with automatic pre-programmed "Turn-and-Rest" technology, to accommodate all watch brands' winding specifications. visit our watchwinder product home page Reprint
