A good watch winder box is a smart investment whether you’re an avid watch collector or you just purchased your first automatic watch.
Why Buy a Watch Winder Box?
It wasn’t until I bought my second automatic watch, a Rolex Submariner, that I felt the need to own a watch winder. Simply put, a watch winder serves the simple purpose of keeping your automatic watch ticking while you aren’t wearing it or perhaps donning another one of your watches. It rids the inconvenience of having to manually wind and re-set your watch after days of not wearing it.
Our team of watch aficionados has tested almost all of the watch winder boxes you see in this post. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you have a few more questions before purchasing. I recommend reaching out to me via Twitter @JoesDaily.
