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.

Using a Watch Winder for automatic watches offers many additional advantages on a daily basis:
- avoiding repeated handling related to resetting the time
- helping to maintain the watch’s accuracy through optimized movement
- keeping watches on time and preventing the desynchronization of complications

A simple and perfectly mastered solution

The Startbox Single Watch Winders stand out thanks to their predefined program of 1,600 rotations per day (800 clockwise, 800 counterclockwise), designed to meet the needs of the vast majority of automatic watches on the market. This operation ensures efficient and respectful maintenance of the mechanism, with no adjustment required.

Thanks to a perfectly controlled rotating system, our Startbox Single Watch Winders reproduce the natural movements of the wrist. These perfectly calibrated rotations — neither too slow nor too fast — ensure optimal operation, without any risk to your watch mechanism. The systematic stop in a vertical 12 o’clock position between each cycle allows the mainspring of the calibre to relax, thus preventing any excessive strain.

Equipped with an optical sensor, each Startbox guarantees remarkable precision by counting exactly the number of rotations performed. Unlike many watch winders that operate based on estimation, this technology ensures reliable and perfectly controlled maintenance, fully aligned with the needs of your automatic watch.

Frequently asked questions

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.

How do I choose an automatic watch holder?

For your automatic watch to fit into the winder properly, you'll need to choose the right sized watch holder. To choose the most suitable size for your automatic watch, we recommend checking the size guide when making your order.

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.

When should I wind my automatic watch?

An automatic watch receives the energy it needs from the movement of your wrist. When not worn, it will stop after 1 to 3 days, depending on its power reserve. This is why we advise you to wind your automatic watch when it is not in use. In addition to keeping your timepiece accurate, an automatic watch winder will prevent the stagnation of horological oils and help avoid the mechanism from seizing.

Do SwissKubik automatic watch winders make noise?

SwissKubik automatic watch winders are renowned for their extremely quiet operation. Thanks to their high-precision motor and Swiss-quality design, they produce very little noise during use. This discretion is a major advantage, especially if you like to place your winder in a quiet environment such as a bedroom or office. SwissKubik stands out for its combination of cutting-edge technology and elegance, offering a seamless experience without noise disturbances.
