WATCH WINDER

Automatic Watch Winders Buying Guide
Choosing a watch winder - Automatic Watchwinder and basic watchwinders....

Basically, there are 2 categories of watch winders: Real electronic fully automatic watchwinder; and, basic watchwinder boxes affixed with a basic motor.

The 1st category, a real automatic electronic watch winder, refers to watch winders that are controlled by an electronic IC circuitry, with the capability to turn in different modes and directions. So as the turning cycle, duration, and turning directions can be controlled and set as required, by the build in electronic circuitry. This category of watchwinder is most reliable and fit most watch brands' winding requirements.

The 2nd category of so called watchwinders, easily identified by its cheaper pricing and lower quality, are basically either a wood or metal or plastic box with a basic motor attached to it. There is no or minimal electronic circuitry controlling the motor. Some of them simply provide buyers with an inexpensive external timer and then call it an "automatic watch winder". Using these low quality winders might seems to work at the beginning if you don't mind constant setting the unit manually. In the long term, usage of these so called watchwinders will result in damage and irreversible damage to your watches., due to the over-stressing nature resulting from these watch winding boxes.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How can an unregulated basic watch winding box can over stress your watch?

Just like any mechanical devices, a watch movement or the moving mechanism inside the watch, is subject to wear and tear. Unregulated stress will result in long term damage to the watch's movement and premature wear and tear to the moving mechanism.

Most automatic watches are designed based on the principle of turning kinetic energy, resulted from sporadic movement of the arm, into micro electrical energy to wind up the watches. Constant and uncontrolled or unregulated winding of the watch will result in over-stressing the delicate moving mechanism inside the watches. While over-winding can, in most cases, prevented by the build in mechanism; over-stressing will result if not carefully and diligently controlled and regulated.

A cheap watch winding box , with no advance electronic circuitry to regulate the turning cycles or modes, will simply "spin" the watches in a certain direction. As a result, this constant spinning motion will over-stress the delicate mechanism inside the watch; causing irreversible damages and undue wear and tear to the watch's movement. The watch trade industry won't even call these cheap watch winding box a "watch winder", as this would tarnish the reputation of all real automatic watch winder brands.

Thus, it is advisable not to be tempted by the small savings of purchasing these so called watchwinding boxes. Invest in a real automatic watch winder like the ERS watch winders we are offering here, for the long term health and longevity of your watch.

How ERS watch winders different from other basic watchwinders?

All ERS watch winders' winding mechanism is controlled by an electronic IC circuitry, regulating and controlling all modes of operations of the winders. A unique "turn-and-Rest" program enables the winder to turn and rest for a per-determined period of time. Enabling all watch brands to be wind up whether the watch is completely or partially wind down, without over-stressing the watch's delicate moving mechanism.

Winding a partially wind down watch in other watchwinder brands without this proprietary "Turn-and-Rest" feature could result in over-stressing the watch's moving mechanism in the long run. Consult your watch's instruction manual for precautions. All our ERS winders have this proprietary Turn and Rest function such that your watch will not be over-stressed in the long term.

Why the market seems to be flooded with those cheaper basic watch winding box ?

Many so called watchwinder manufacturers, for a quick profit, have flooded the market with these low quality winding boxes, by simply attach a basic motor to a wooden jewelry box, then call it a "watch winder" and offer it for sale in the market. No diligent consideration or research has been undertaken whatsoever in designing and manufacturing these watch winding boxes. Watch owners should carefully investigate these so called "watchwinder" .

All our ERS watch winders are diligently designed and manufactured with superb workmanship, extensive research and development have been implemented prior to designing and manufacturing; assuring all automatic watch brands can be fully wind up; without any potential long term detrimental effect to the delicate moving mechanism of your watches.
