Why choose an automatic watch winder?
Automatic watches are appealing because of their mechanical operation, powered by the natural movement of the wrist. But as soon as they are no longer worn, their power reserve is depleted. Out-of-sync complications, congealed oils, and dry restarts: these interruptions affect accuracy and accelerate movement wear.
Our winders faithfully recreate this movement, keeping the watch on time, ready to be worn at any time, without tedious adjustments. More than just comfort, it's a lasting way to care for your timepieces.
Operation designed for your calibers
Technology: precision at the heart of design
Most of our winders are equipped with ultra-quiet, individually adjustable motors:
- Adjustable Revolutions Per Day (RPD) (650 to 2,100), or factory pre-programmed
- Customizable rotation direction : clockwise, counterclockwise or alternating,
-
Activity/pause cycles simulating natural wrist wear.
These settings scrupulously respect the recommendations of major watch manufacturers.
High-end components

frequently asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Watch Winders
Your watch is placed on a rotating cushion. The purpose of the winder is to simulate the movement of your wrist. This movement keeps the rotor and oil in your watch moving.
This allows you to maintain the quality of your watch throughout the day.
An automatic watch must be kept in motion regularly to maintain its accuracy. When it remains stationary for too long, the watch oil can congeal and the internal parts can wear out prematurely. An automatic watch winder avoids these problems by simulating the natural movements of the wrist, thus preserving the accuracy and longevity of your timepiece.
An automatic watch needs 600 revolutions per day on average. The older your watch is, the more revolutions it will need per day. When your watch is new, 500 revolutions per day is more than enough.
Our watch winders fit all straps and dials. When there is a risk that the winder is too small, it is noted in the product sheet.
Your watch can remain rotating for 12 hours a day. The watch winders are calibrated and programmed while respecting the rest times.
No. A quality automatic watch winder, like those offered by Rotation Horlogère, protects your watch by preventing frequent stopping and starting of the mechanism, thus reducing internal wear.
Our winders are designed to last for years thanks to their robust materials and reliable motors. They are guaranteed and can operate continuously for several years without any problems, thanks to their proven technology and careful manufacturing.
