SwissKubik: High-tech watch winders
An essential accessory for watch collectors, our automatic watch winders are a culmination of the latest technology. Each one is fitted with a sixth generation motor to keep the oscillating weight on your watch in motion, and to preserve its mechanism by preventing the oils from congealing to resin.
With battery power and a perfect cube design, our automatic watch winders are transportable without compromising on style. They are designed to be stored easily in a safe, as an ideal solution to keep your watch secure without it stopping.
The art of winding
Preserving your automatic watch
Self-winding mechanical watches work via a complex mechanism using the kinetic energy generated by the wearer’s wrist movements. As such, for this type of watch to keep telling the time accurately and steadily, it needs to be worn regularly. By reproducing natural wrist movements, our watch winders regularly supply energy to the balance wheel which controls the gear speed, maintaining the precision of your watch when it is not being worn.
While most automatic watches can be wound by hand with the crown, a winder helps avoid any potential handling errors that can arise with screw down crowns, for example. Our winders guarantee confidence and peace of mind for every watch enthusiast.

Frequently asked questions
What is the protective glass for?
The protective glass plays an essential role. It gives your automatic watch added security, protecting it from potential shocks when storing your winder.
The glass is especially useful when keeping your Swisskubik automatic watch winder in a safe, as it stays protected from direct impact with any objects that could prevent it from working correctly.
How does the power supply work in SwissKubik automatic watch winders?
The power supply for your SwissKubik automatic watch winder will depend on the model you own.
- Startbox: This winder runs exclusively on batteries (2 C 1.5 volt alkaline batteries – —we recommend using Duracell Procell batteries for their quality.)
- Masterbox: Offering greater power versatility, this winder runs either on mains power or batteries (2 C 1.5 volt alkaline batteries – —as with the Startbox, we recommend using Duracell Procell batteries, but others brands also work). The Masterbox demonstrates built-in intelligence by automatically detecting a mains power source: when plugged in, it automatically switches to mains power, preserving its battery life. Similarly, as soon as the watch winder is unplugged from the mains, it automatically resumes battery operation for uninterrupted use.
Please note that the USB-C port is a simple power supply used to plug your watch winder into the mains; it cannot be used to recharge batteries. It can also be used to programme your winder via our Mac/Windows app.
Whether you opt for the Startbox or Masterbox automatic watch winder, we recommend that you do not use rechargeable batteries.
How do I connect my Masterbox automatic watch winder to my phone?
You can connect to the Masterbox automatic watch winder via Bluetooth using our mobile app. When you turn on your Masterbox watch winder, Bluetooth is automatically activated. To connect as quickly as possible, open the Bluetooth settings on your phone in advance, and then turn on your Masterbox watch winder.
When the Masterbox name appears under your available devices, click on it to connect.
What is the ideal number of revolutions for an automatic watch?
Most watches need 1,000 to 1,900 revolutions per day to function properly.
Our Startbox automatic watch winder performs 1,600 revolutions per day, meeting the requirements for most watches. However, if your watch has more specific needs, we recommend the Masterbox winder. Configured to perform 1,600 revolutions per day, the Masterbox has advanced features so that you can customise rotation cycles (the number of daily revolutions and direction of rotation) depending on the requirements of your automatic watch.
What’s the difference between the Startbox and Masterbox automatic watch winders?
While both are designed to protect your timepiece and keep it on time, the Masterbox and Startbox automatic watch winders differ in their design and functionality:
- Startbox: Measuring 11 x 11 x 11 cm, this perfect cube stands out for its ease of use, operating as soon as it is switched on. With a rotation cycle of 1,600 revolutions per day, the Startbox winder is suitable for most automatic watches.
- Masterbox: With advanced features like Bluetooth connectivity, this winder allows you to customise rotation cycles according to your desired use via our app (with a standard cycle of 1,600 revolutions per day). With each winder measuring 10 x 10 x 10 cm, the Masterbox is available in a wide range of materials, and can fit 1 to 12 watches depending on the model.
Completely transportable, both the Startbox and Masterbox watch winders operate on batteries, meaning you can store yours wherever you want – —even in a safe.
