Gyroscopic Watch Winder lets you wind up your timepieces in style

gyroscopic-winderThere are some of us out there who love collecting watches, and over the years, we have actually amassed quite a collection of timepieces. Now, if these watches were digital, then the matter of replacing its battery is a simple one, but when it comes to winding your watches, you have several options. If your home looks extremely high tech and you want to go all the way, why settle for a typical watch winder that just spins in one direction, but rather, opt for the $18,000 Gyroscopic Watch Winder?

The Gyroscopic Watch Winder is proud to be the “only gyroscopic watch winder” which will be able to rotate 360°, meaning it does so in all directions. Specially inspired by the aerotrims that were used by astronauts in training so that they can avoid spatial disorientation in space, the watch winder will rotate on a trio of axes, in the same manner as that of a human wrist. It does so in order to wind an automatic watch which has been wrapped around the center of the gyroscope. Specially made in Germany by Döttling, this particular watch winder is handcrafted over a four-week period by artisans, and it is propelled by an electric motor in order to deliver whisper-quiet operation. A quartet of LEDs will light up the rotation with crisp white light, and it is smart enough to pause automatically to prevent overwinding.

Bi-Directional Interval Watch Winder

Women have their shoes and handbags, but what do we guys have? Well, for starters, there is the $199.95 Bi-Directional Interval Watch Winder that does what it says it does – and it does it well, of course. This particular watch winder will allow you to change its direction as well as rest interval so that a self-winding wristwatch will be able to keep accurate time, never mind that it is not worn regularly. I can identify with that, especially with an automatic wristwatch in my collection.

The Bi-Directional Interval Watch Winder is a Swiss-designed device that sports a silent motor which can be set to rotate a watch clockwise or counterclockwise. There will be a quartet of settings that allows it to alternate different periods of rest with three minutes of motion, which translates to approximately 2,200 and 4,000 turns per day. This means the watch rotors regularly power the mainsprings without having to suffer from overwinding issues. Within the central compartment, your precious watch will rest on a padded cushion, where it remains nestled against a smooth simulated leather lining.
