Watch & Wind


Today, it seems like there are many more accessories options for watches than ever before. I mean you have got nice custom shirts that have been ruined by specially designed shirt cuffs that your watches fit into, which look pretty gay, all sorts of cumbersome unnecessary watch boxes and winders that are very well made out of the finest skins including donkey dick, but they are the size of like an antique trunk that you could fit bodies into which is highly impractical, especially if you are traveling a lot. When I was working in retail, thank god that's over! I had the chance to work with every variety of watch winders, they were all the same,in terms of claiming that they were the best watch winder for the money, which is a bunch of happy horse shit!

People, let me tell you one important thing, watch winders do not take place of the human wrist. It doesn't matter how much money you spend on a watch winder, because in most cases watches actually loose time on watch winders, because of the fact they turn in one direction for a bit, then stops for a while and then starts again in the reverse direction which can impact the automatic winding mechanism of an fine wrist watch . I am personally more a purest and don't feel winders are necessary and a waste of money, I mean if you can't give your watch a couple of winds before you crash and go to bed there is a serious problem. In some cases depending on what brand you buy they can cost as much as a nice watch, which I would rather have all day long.

If I had to go down the watch winder route, and I understand and respect that a select few of you out there have huge watch collections and need to store them and wind them properly, I would strongly suggest you buy a Swiss Kubik watch winder. They are every bit as innovative, technical, practical and well priced as much as that fine watch you purchase. I don't know about most of you out there, but I want something compact well made and reliable. I love minimalism, less is more, and The motor is controlled by a microprocessor which tests the unit each time it is activated in order to regulate the 950 bi-directional rotations per day. Thanks to the still/stop function in vertical position the winder has extremely low energy consumption, which pushes the limits and allows the alkaline batteries an incredible life span of up to 5 years.

As the winders are powered by batteries, you can store them just about anywhere, whether it be your small roll on suitcase while traveling, or for your own protection in the smallest hidden safe. The modern design and the extremely silent engine make it a perfect display in any room you use actively for your day to day activities. The beauty is like any of the fine watch brands today, Swiss Kubik is manufactured in Geneva Switzerland and adheres to the strict quality guidelines imposed by the best Swiss watch Manufacturers and in turn fully supports the tradition of Swiss horology today. For protection and viewing pleasure an optional polished acrylic glass may be purchased for any variety of watch winders available within the Swiss Kubik Line.Most winders today have only a couple of settings, which is very annoying if you have something a little more technically complicated, because the watch ends up stopping or loosing time which defeats the whole purpose of a watch winder. Of course, the best part of this line is having endless possibilities, by being able to program any of these winders to even the most complicated wristwatches stringent requirements on how they should be wound by the attachment of the optional USB interface cable online ensures accuracy and satisfaction.

The coolest thing about these winders is their design. You can acquire them with images, logos and basically anything you want to see. Most winders are leather, pleather and have interiors like a stuffy hotel lobby. Swiss Kubik is an amazingly well finished, fun watch necessity for that person who depends on a winder when the watch isn't being worn so that while you watch, it winds with flawless engineering, which sets the standard for all watch winders today.
