How much do you know about the watch winder?

watch winder box, Presumably most people know such a thing, but few people use it! I guess there are still people who don’t know what the watch winder box does?
What is a watch winder box?
watch winder box. It is a watch shaker configured for our mechanical watches that often encounter insufficient exercise in order to prevent the watch movement from causing serious damage to the watch movement.

Its alias can also be called automatic watch box. And this kind of watch box is equipped with a rotatable small dial. The dial rotates slowly under the drive of a micro motor. So just put the mechanical watch in this dial to achieve the effect of automatic winding.
Why is the watch winder so expensive?
For its price. It is well known that it is professionally customized for mechanical watches. Not only can the automatic winding be driven by reason, but its production cost is also very high.
Mechanical watches are expensive. You can even buy multiple shakers for a mechanical watch. If the shaker is just ordinary materials. Not only does it not match the identity of the mechanical watch, but it can cause damage to the mechanical watch if you are not careful. So it must be exquisite in craftsmanship and technology. This is also the main reason why it is expensive~
What should I pay attention to when buying?
When choosing the watch winder, you must choose according to your needs. Otherwise, it will not only cost a high price, but also may cause some damage to the watch!
Satisfy single and bidirectional shaking table in different directions
The watch movement is designed with two winding technologies: two-way winding and single winding. Therefore, the watch winder box should meet the setting of shaking the meter in different directions in both directions and in one direction. And some low-end watch winder can only shake in one direction, which is definitely not to be bought.
Set the winding and sleep time according to different movements

According to different watch movements, different time ratios of winding and sleeping can be set. Keeping the movement in a reasonable condition will neither cause excessive wear nor run out of power and stop. According to statistics, most self-winding movements rotate 500 to 800 revolutions a day to meet the requirements of watch winding. If the watch is always on the chain, most of the watch is in the full chain idling state, causing unnecessary wear on the movement gears. Therefore, whether the watch shaker can accurately wind the chain is particularly important. Magnetic shield
The watch winder box is swayed by a motor. The motor emits a magnetic field and magnetic waves, causing the watch movement to become magnetized. This requires the watch shaker to use a magnetic shield for the motor to prevent magnetic diffusion and to set the watch placement position outside the motor magnetic field in terms of design. other
The last point is the design of the fixed position of the shaker to prevent the watch from falling off, and whether the noise is reduced during operation also needs attention. The direction control of the meter shaker is already a relatively common function. As long as you ask the motor magnetic wave problem clearly before buying, you can check it yourself. These are relatively easy. But whether you can wind the watch accurately to the maximum extent is a matter of careful selection.
