What is a Watch winder watch and why do you need one?

Automatic watches are powered by a mechanical movement that uses the energy generated by wrist movement to wind the mainspring. When an automatic watch is not worn for an extended period, it stops because it is no longer powered by this kinetic energy.

A Watch winder watch imitates the natural movement of the wrist by gently turning the watch in several directions, ensuring that the spring remains wound. This makes it possible to :

• Keeping the watch on time: A watch that stops needs to be reset, which can be tedious, especially if it has complications such as a calendar or moon phase.
  
  
• Preserving internal lubrication: The watch's internal movements need regular lubrication. By keeping the watch in motion, Watch winder helps prevent these lubricants from drying out.
