Why would you need a timer, does the watch winder not just 'turn/move' intermittently to keep the watch at the correct time?rossybee wrote:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Time-Tutelary- ... B001LENINKC7Steve wrote:Can anyone recommend a watch winder?

Inexpensive and effective. Only downside is it doesn't have a built in timer.
I get round that by fitting it to a clockwork light timer you use when away on holiday

I have a Wolf (https://www.wolf1834.co.uk/item/456002/ ... ers-cover/) that's excellent but not cheap. I didn't buy it, although I probably did pay for it. Has a timer and rotates in both directions. It sits next to my bed and it's really quiet.
There's an offer I can't refuse.C7Steve wrote:Can I pop round one night to have a look at your winder please?
Just for clarification - these are cycling books.C7Steve wrote:Also how about exchanging the books that we spoke about previously.

This one being relatively cheap rotates the whole time it's switched on, and I use it when away offshore/abroad so weeks at a time, and a watch should only be wound a few hours each day.C7Steve wrote:Why would you need a timer, does the watch winder not just 'turn/move' intermittently to keep the watch at the correct time?rossybee wrote:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Time-Tutelary- ...

I have a soft spot for these, you have to be careful as they were designed for a 1.3v battery. If you stick a 1.5v battery in it and the tuning fork is close to bottom limit in thickness it will run fast. First transistor watch too. It nearly became the moon watch.douglasgdmw wrote:Having a look through the Classic Car Auction and dropped down to the watch section.
Think this looks really cool but then I do not know watches
