Why buy a watch winder for an automatic watch?
This can be a wise decision for any watch enthusiast . But before discussing why you should consider buying a watch winder, it's important to understand what an automatic watch is.
An automatic watch is a mechanically-powered watch that runs on energy generated by the movements of the wearer's wrist . Unlike quartz watches, which use a battery to power the movement of the hands, automatic watches are powered by a self-winding system with a power reserve .
This system uses a rotor , an oscillating weight that rotates freely inside the watch case and moves with each movement of the wrist. This movement activates a self-winding mechanism that winds the watch's mainspring .
Therefore, as long as the watch is worn regularly , it automatically winds itself and maintains its energy and accuracy without requiring manual winding . However, it may happen that you do not wear your watch every day, or that you own several automatic watches that you do not use all at the same time.
This is where a watch winder comes into play; it's a small device that keeps an automatic watch running even when you're not wearing it. It mimics the movements of your wrist by gently rotating the watch on a cushion inside a watch winder with a silent motor. Thanks to this, your watch will be automatically wound, ready to wear , without the risk of stopping or malfunctioning.
Can I damage my watch by using a watch winder for an automatic watch?
The short answer is no. Self-winding watches have an integrated mechanism that stops when the watch is fully wound.
This mechanism prevents over-winding and protects the internal components of the watch, thus ensuring that it does not suffer damage from being continuously in motion in a watch winder.
