Watch winders are as intricate as the timepieces they hold. If you love automatic watches, you know that the only downside to having one is that you need to wind it daily to keep it running. Taking off the watch means that you’ll have to reset it the next time you want to wear it. While this isn’t exactly back-breaking labor, it can be a real pain, especially if you’re in a hurry. Whether you own a single watch or a collection, we’ve rounded up some of the best watch winders to keep the movement going.

Considering that it holds up to eight watches at a time, it’s not for the casual watch enthusiast. If you are an avid watch collector, it’s a great way to keep every one of them running smoothly. Each watch pillow is adjustable to fit most watch sizes, and the unit has a quiet Japanese motor with an AC adapter. Apart from being aesthetically pleasing, this watch winder offers multiple rotations per day settings and three different rotation modes, perfect for both automatic and mechanical watches.
