    Im sorry i only caught the last 30 seconds of this video ... so as a professional, you whole heartedly agree that a watch winder is an absolute necessity ? I knew it ! 😉🍻

    I put my quartz and manual winds on the ferris wheel winder just so they don't feel like they are missing out on the ride 🎡😢

    My recent experience (fwiw): I have Sinn 556 (automatic) with "top" sellita calbire SW200-1 (but not certified by COSC). I'd wear my Sinn everyday, and put it on the shelf overnight after a gentle manual wind. It ran pretty good, slow 1 or 2 sec per day, and day to day variance of about 0.5 sec, within COSC standards. Past 2 weeks, I left it on winder but did check its accuracy every evening. While continually on the winder it's been running +/- 0.25 sec / day with variance of < 0.1 sec /day. My winder is Orbita Sparta1. PS I have an older Orbita at least 10 years old where I keep another automatic watch, and both that watch and Orbita run great. Both watches have date complications and it's convenient to use the winder in order to have the date always correct except for the months with 30 days (& Feb). Is a winder necessary, no IMO, but I like using a winder.

    I have a two watch winder, I like it as it’s a nice display case, and as I rotate my watches on my wrist so it saves having to manually wind them.

  • @skrsys
    @skrsys Рік тому +6

    I primarily wear 2 automatics. One Mon-Fri to the office, and my diver which I wear on the weekends. The winder has saved me a lot of time, not having to reset the time on a regular basis.

  • @jamessmith-on3jf
    @jamessmith-on3jf 9 місяців тому +3

    I use a watch winder for my GMT and my wife's DJ31 as they both only receive about 8-16 hours wear per week and it saves me having to reset UK time/date and New York time on my GMT. I have other rolex watches in my collection which get rarely worn and rather than wind them I put them in the winder every 2 months. My daily wear is a DJ41 and it doesn't need the watch winder.
    The reason I invested in a winder was I was concerned about the wear on my watches from reseting time and date.
    I would love or hear your opinion.

Meanwhile my Tandorio Flieger is always on my wrist, and the Tandorio homage of the MoD W10 Hamilton/CWC tonneau is another Sunday piece, that occupies the 3rd seat on the carousel, so it stays balanced.

  • @bunberrier
    @bunberrier 2 місяці тому +1

    Heres a use. I rotate through a group of autos, wearing one for a couple weeks, then switching. On the week end I dont wear it, necessitating that I set it twice, once initially and once for second week. Putting it on the winder across the week end, or any other days off, skips that step.

    if you have modern synthetic oils in the watch then only a winder is useful if you swap watches regularly and you wont need to keep setting time, date for the stopped watches

  • @kuyapipslago8657

    Correct again . Master. It depends. Of how many automatic watches you have. The technique you should know the max time of the watch moved without winding ... ❤😂

    But what about the need to have to always be resetting the date and time of watches that aren't used for days or weeks? Might that be considered to adding to the wear and tear of the movement?

    • @gargamelesp

    • @seinfan9
      @seinfan9 Рік тому

      Well, you can rationalize all you want about spending money on a convenience by thinking the momentary manual time and date adjustment is somehow just as bad as having everything running 24/7. It's not true, but if lying to yourself makes you feel better, spend away.

    I was going to buy one until watching this video. I have a 7 day a week watch, a once or twice a year watch, and a special occasion watch. The occasional watch is just a date/day/time watch. The once/twice a year is just time. Maybe when I have a fancy watch, then I will get one

    My question would rather be is it better for the watch to put it into a watchwinder or to wind it per hand?
    There are quite the number of people around that claim handwinding an automatic watch would damage it over time.

  • @adiands850

    Dear Chronoglide, do you agree with the argument that a watchwinder puts significant wear and tear on a movement? Or is it not worth worrying about that?

  • @paulsteele6120
    @paulsteele6120 2 роки тому +1

    Watch winders don't work on Kinetic watches, but, a tumble drier on a cool temperature setting will charge the capacitor if the watch is wrapped in a thick work sock and is given about a 30 minute ride. Simple!
