watch winder

Automatic movement maintainer

A watch winder is a device that keeps automatic watches running when not being worn.

Automatic watches are powered by the motion of the wearer's wrist; a watch winder rotates the watch periodically to simulate that movement, preventing the mainspring from unwinding and the watch from stopping.

Collectors with multiple automatic watches often use watch winders to keep them wound and ready to wear.
