Designed to operate through the movements of the wrist, an automatic watch requires attentive care when not worn for several days. Without movement, the mainspring of the calibre gradually unwinds, leading to the stoppage of the mechanism and the loss of its settings.
To support collectors in preserving their timepieces, a connected watch winder has become a particularly relevant solution. Combining advanced technology with watchmaking expertise, this accessory keeps automatic watches in motion while offering intelligent and personalised control of their winding.
Why use a connected watch winder?
A watch winder for automatic watches reproduces the natural movements of the wrist through a perfectly controlled rotating system. A connected watch winder goes even further by integrating smart features that simplify the management of automatic watches, particularly for collectors with multiple timepieces.
Its main advantages include:
-
keeping watches on time when not worn;
-
avoiding repeated manual handling;
-
preserving the consistent lubrication of internal components;
-
precisely adapting rotation cycles to the requirements of each calibre.
Thanks to these features, the watch winder becomes a true tool for managing and maintaining your watch collection.
SwissKubik connected watch winders: the Masterbox range
In a world where technology enhances watchmaking tradition, SwissKubik has established itself as a leading reference. Designed and assembled in Switzerland, the Maison’s watch winders combine precision, durability, and minimalist design.
The Masterbox range perfectly illustrates this approach, offering connected watch winders equipped with Bluetooth connectivity and an intuitive mobile application.
Each module can be individually programmed to adjust:
-
the number of daily rotations;
-
the direction of rotation;
-
the activation of night mode.
Each timepiece can be registered in the application and assigned to a specific winding profile tailored to the requirements of its calibre.
When placing a watch inside the winder, simply indicate in the application which model is installed in the module. The corresponding parameters are then automatically applied. This intelligent management allows the same programmable watch winder to be used for different watches while respecting the specific needs of each.
Beyond these smart features, Masterbox watch winders are also equipped with an ultra-silent mechanism that faithfully reproduces the natural movements of the wrist without disturbing the environment in which they are placed. Their magnetism-free design ensures the preservation of your timepiece’s accuracy.
Finally, a rest phase between each rotation cycle allows the mainspring of the calibre to relax naturally, preventing any excessive strain on the mechanism.
This combination of precision, discretion, and mechanical mastery offers an ideal solution for collectors with multiple automatic watches. Available in a wide range of materials and configurations accommodating up to 12 watches, Masterbox watch winders embody the perfect balance between technological innovation, timeless elegance, and Swiss watchmaking tradition.
Startbox: simplicity serving efficiency
While connected watch winders meet the needs of the most demanding collectors, some automatic watches simply require reliable and intuitive operation. The Startbox single Watch Winder by SwissKubik offers an especially efficient solution for everyday use.
Configured to perform 1,600 rotations per day in bidirectional mode, it is suitable for the vast majority of automatic watches without requiring any adjustment. Its compact design and remarkable autonomy make it a discreet ally for keeping watches in motion when not worn.
At a time when technology is becoming an integral part of watchmaking, the connected watch winder represents a natural evolution of accessories dedicated to automatic watches. By combining innovation, precision, and Swiss expertise, it provides long-term support to collectors in preserving and showcasing their watch collections.
