Who can suggest an watch winder?
on: May 02, 2010, 03:19:16 AM
Just picked up a Kenneth Cole KC3773.

This is the first auto I have had in almost thirty years. Since I won't be wearing it all the time can anyone suggest a winder for it?

I saw a few that winds for one hour then rest for three also you can switch them from clockwise to counter clockwise (why would you do this?) is there a difference.

Thanks Swiss Man

Swiss Man,

I can't recommend a specific winder as I don't own any even though I have several automatics. But as far as the winders that wind in either direction.....this is because some watch movements only wind the mainspring when the rotor spins in a certain direction, while other movements can wind in either direction.

Thanks for that info matter of fact it makes sense seeing how gears have teeth that go in one direction. (sometimes). :cheers:

Can someone explain to me why winders are rather expensive? They are basically just motors right?
