Watch Winder FAQ

A watch winder is a device that gently rotates an automatic (self-winding) watch while you are not wearing it. The motion keeps the mainspring wound, so the watch stays running, accurate and ready to wear at any moment.

If you own one or more automatic watches and do not wear each of them every day, yes. Left unworn, an automatic stops. You then reset the time, date and every complication each time you pick it up. A winder keeps them set, wound and ready to wear.

No. Automatic movements include a slipping clutch that disengages once the mainspring is fully wound. With the correct turns-per-day setting, a Windury winder simply keeps your watch topped up. There is no stress on the movement.

TPD is the number of rotations a winder makes in 24 hours. Most automatics need between 650 and 900 TPD. Every Windury winder is programmable from 650 to 1,950 TPD, with clockwise, counter-clockwise and bi-directional modes to suit any calibre.

Choose by how many automatics you want to keep wound at once: Single, Double, Triple, Quad, 6-piece or 8-piece. Browse all watch winders to compare capacities and finishes.
