Thread: Can anyone recommend a watch winder please?

  1. #1

    Can anyone recommend a watch winder please?

    Someone at work is looking to buy one as a gift. Her budget is up to £220 and she thinks that she needs room for two watches max.

    Thanks in advance!

    Simple, reasonably prices, single, double, etc.

    They operate for ever on a battery, are well put together, silent, come in funky colurs and their customer service is top drawer.

    Cheers Burnsey, they look good! She's been looking at Wolf module winders previously.

    Whichever winder you choose, you'll need this database to decide the turn direction and rate of turn to use:

    Alternatively, you can use the database to choose a winder that will give you the direction of turn and turns per day that your watch(es) need.

    or the Beco Boxy winders, can be had in colours and modular so if you needed to grow above 2 you can, to a max of 12 I think.

    prices might be cheeper in the EU / ebay.

    Another recommendation for Barrington, I have their carbon 6 watch winder which is fantastic and as said their customer service is excellent.

    Just noticed they've used my testimonial on their website on the 6 winder page :-)

    Wolf winders are always a solid choice, and can generally be had for decent prices on eBay.

    I would like a battery operated winder if possible.
    Barrington are the only winders i can find that have this.

    Any others users have come across that are battery powered?

    thanks
    Martin

    Many Wolf winders can be either battery powered or plugged in.
