Some phrases embody an identity.

"Switzerland. Great since 1291." is one of them.

The year 1291 marks the signing of the Federal Charter between the cantons of Uri, Schwyz, and Unterwalden, widely regarded as the founding act of the Swiss Confederation. For more than seven centuries, Switzerland has upheld the values that have shaped its reputation: precision, stability, innovation, and exceptional craftsmanship.

For SwissKubik, this motto resonates naturally. From our Manufacture in Givisiez, we carry this heritage forward every day by designing watch winders entirely made in Switzerland, to the highest standards of quality.

This limited edition revisits our iconic red Startbox, adorned with the Swiss cross. Its top features the statement "Switzerland. Great since 1291."—a contemporary nod to this shared history, celebrated with pride and a touch of humor.

Limited to just 26 pieces, this creation pays tribute to Switzerland's twenty-six cantons. Twenty-six pieces to celebrate a country whose diversity is its strength, and whose pursuit of excellence continues to inspire everything we create.

Inside, nothing has changed. The silent, precise Swiss Made motor delivers the 1,600 daily rotations that have earned SwissKubik winders the trust of collectors around the world.

A Distinctive Identity

More than a color, red is a symbol. Paired with the Swiss cross and a motto that has become iconic, it celebrates a nation where precision, innovation, and craftsmanship have shaped its identity for more than seven centuries.

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.

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.
