What is a watch winder and do I need one?

A watch winder is a motorized device that rotates automatic watches to keep them wound when not being worn. If you own multiple automatic watches and rotate between them, a watch winder prevents the need to reset time and date complications each time you wear the watch.

How many turns per day (TPD) does my automatic watch need?

Most automatic watches require between 650 and 1,950 turns per day (TPD). Rolex watches typically need 650-800 TPD, while Omega and Breitling models often require 800-1,000 TPD. Aura Winder models offer adjustable TPD settings to match any watch brand.

Is it safe to leave a watch on a winder all the time?

Yes, it is safe to leave an automatic watch on a quality watch winder continuously. Modern watch winders include rest periods and directional controls that prevent over-winding, as automatic watches have built-in slip-clutch mechanisms that disengage when fully wound.

What watch winder TPD setting should I use for a Rolex?

Rolex automatic watches typically require 650-800 turns per day (TPD) in either clockwise or bi-directional rotation. Aura Winder models support adjustable TPD settings from 650 to 1,950 to accommodate all Rolex calibers including the Cal. 3235 and Cal. 3285.

What is the difference between a single and double watch winder?

A single watch winder holds and rotates one automatic watch, while a double watch winder can wind two watches simultaneously with independent motor controls. Aura Winder offers both options, with double winders ideal for collectors who rotate between two timepieces regularly.

Why should we need to use watch winder?

Can a standard watch winder magnetize my luxury watch?

Yes, many standard motors generate magnetic fields that can interfere with the hairspring of a mechanical watch. Our antimagnetic series uses shielded motors to ensure zero magnetic interference.

What makes Aurawinder’s technology different?

We use Japanese Mabuchi motors wrapped in electromagnetic shielding materials, which block 99% of magnetic flux, keeping your timepiece safe even during long-term winding.

Are these winders compatible with Rolex and Omega?

Absolutely. Our antimagnetic winders are specifically designed for high-sensitivity movements found in brands like Rolex, Omega, and Patek Philippe.
