Glass Humidors – Watch Winder, A Watch Box Or Watch Case?
Watch Winder, A Watch Box Or Watch Case?
Fine watches are not only attractive; they are precision instruments that deserve excellent care when they are not being worn. Many watch manufacturers recommend the use of watch winders, watch boxes or watch cases. Which is best?
The answer depends on the watch. A watch winder is for automatic watches. Automatic watches have a rotor that rotates every time the wrist moves. The rotation winds a spring inside the watch to keep the works wound. When the watch is not being worn, it needs to be in a watch winder so time, day and date settings won’t have to be reset.
On the other hand, watch boxes and watch cases are terms used rather interchangeably for a place to store a watch. There is a subtle difference in the terms. A watch box is simply a box made to house a watch, such as those in which the watch arrives from the store. A watch case is usually means a unit in which to display the watch. People who admire precision time pieces can place a watch case on a desk or credenza to show off their treasures.
Choosing the right watch winder, watch case or watch box is important. High quality watches are expensive and it is important to protect the investment.
For a watch winder, it is important to select one with a winder head for each watch in the household. Each winder head is specifically set for each watch so it is unwise to have watches share a winder head. Most automatic watches, such as Rolex watches, need a watch winder with bi-directional settings and a rotation rate of at least 650 turns per day in order to keep fully wound. (It is best to consult the manufacturer for recommendations for specific watches. Watch winders vary in price according to many factors, including the power source, the number of watches they can hold and the materials with which they were made.
Watch boxes and cases also vary according to how many watches they can hold and what materials were used. Some watch boxes have leather exteriors and glass tops, features that drive up the price. In watch cases, the interior portion on which the watch rests is the pillow. The size of the materials and the materials used to make it also affect the price of a watch box or case.
In order to choose a watch winder, box or case, one should consider several factors. For a watch winder, the technic

al aspects of the watch or watches are the most important consideration. Make sure the winder is suited for the particular brand of watch. It is also necessary to consider ease of use and the quality of the workmanship. Cheaper watch winders can be noisy.
For watch box or case, consider how it will be used. Will the owner be traveling with it? Then look for sturdy, secure construction. Is the owner a watch collector who enjoys displaying his or her collection? Then choose an elegant model with a clear glass lid. Check the quality of the hinges and examine how well the lid closes. If the watch box is meant for travel, make sure the unit closes and locks securely.
Taking the time to choose the right watch winder, watch box or watch case is well worth the effort in order to protect the investment in quality time pieces.
