An automatic watch winder offers several advantages.

1. Fewer handling errors: An automatic watch winder helps avoid common handling mistakes, such as dropping the watch during manual winding or risking damage to the crown by winding it too frequently. It also prevents the date from passing through the "dead zone," a moment when improper handling can cause malfunctions. By keeping your watch continuously accurate, you reduce the risks of shocks and premature wear.
2. Preservation of the mechanism: Over time, manual winding can damage certain components of the watch, such as the crown or the winding system. An automatic watch winder prevents excessive handling and ensures a gentle yet consistent winding.
3. Simplified maintenance for complicated watches: Watches with complications, such as moon phases or perpetual calendars, can be particularly tedious to reset after a prolonged stop. Using an automatic winder keeps these complications functioning, avoiding complicated steps with a professional.

Thanks to their advanced features, such as the ability to programme the number of daily rotations or adjust the direction of rotation, SwissKubik automatic watch winders cater to the needs and requirements of each watch.

Each material on your automatic watch winder is manufactured with a specific treatment. This treatment helps protect the materials on your winder so that it can support your timepiece over the long term. However, we do recommend avoiding detergents: if you'd like to clean your automatic watch winder, use a damp cloth.

Be careful about exposing your winder to extreme conditions such as heat, humidity or sharp temperature changes, as these factors could compromise its functionality. Finally, be sure to store your watch winder in an appropriate location, avoiding anywhere you wouldn’t leave your automatic watch.

An automatic watch operates on kinetic energy generated by the wearer's wrist movements, which gets stored in the mainspring. For more details, see our article on how automatic watches work.

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.

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.
