Frequently Asked Questions
Where are the products made?
Transparency on Product Origin
The majority of products available on the French market are manufactured in China and offered by various resellers.
When a product has a different origin or manufacturing process, this information is clearly stated on its product page.
This is particularly the case for several items from brands featured in our store.
How do I know if my watch is the right size?
Watch winders are designed to fit all strap sizes and dial types. If there is any risk that the winder may be too small, it will be clearly indicated on the product page.
How many turns per day does my watch need?
An automatic watch requires an average of 600 turns per day.The older your watch is, the more daily turns it will need.For a new watch, 500 turns per day is more than enough.
How does a watch winder work?
How does a watch winder work?
A watch winder mimics the natural motion of the wrist to keep an automatic watch running.
How it works:
An automatic watch is powered by an oscillating weight (rotor) that winds the mainspring as it moves.
The winder contains an electric motor that rotates a cushion on which the watch is secured.
This motion drives the rotor, which winds the mainspring → keeping the watch’s power reserve intact.
Technical features:
- TPD (Turns Per Day): The number of rotations programmed per day. A quality winder offers various settings (typically from 300 to 1200).
- Direction of rotation: Clockwise, counterclockwise, or alternating. Each movement has its own preference (some only wind in one direction).
- Cycles: The motor runs intermittently, with rest periods to avoid overwinding.
How to use it:
- Place your watch on the winder’s cushion.
- Set the desired mode (TPD + direction).
- The winder automatically starts its cycles (e.g., 3 minutes of rotation every hour).
Result:
Your watch stays wound and on time, even when you're not wearing it.
How long should my watch stay on the winder?
An automatic watch can remain on a watch winder indefinitely, but it’s not mandatory.
Key points:
- Purpose of the winder: It keeps the watch running on time and ensures that the lubricating oils inside the movement stay slightly in motion.
- Wear risk: Very low — a quality winder uses a limited number of turns per day (TPD). In fact, wearing a watch on the wrist often results in more motion than a winder.
- Recommended duration:
Practical use: Keep the watch on the winder when not worn, especially if you rotate between multiple watches.
Occasional use: Leaving it on the winder for 1–2 days before wearing it again is enough to reactivate it. - Settings: Adjust the TPD and rotation direction according to your movement (usually 600–900 TPD, bidirectional for ETA/Valjoux movements, for example).
In short:
You can safely leave your watch on the winder continuously, as long as the winder is properly configured.
