How to Choose the Right Watch Winder for Your Collection

by Raj Tilokani 04 Aug 2025 0 Comments


Whether you're just starting your automatic watch journey or building a diverse timepiece collection, a reliable watch winder ensures your watches stay accurate and ready to wear. Alpine Selection offers standout options in its BOXY line. Here's how to align your needs with the features they offer:

1. Know Your Watch's Winding Requirements:

  • Turns per Day (TPD): BOXY Brick models typically offer three fixed settings around 672, 960, 1248 TPD.
  • Fancy Brick models support between 650–3,600 TPD, covering the spectrum for most high-end automatics.

2. Select the Appropriate Winder Size:

3. Consider Motor Type and Operation:

  • The Brick series utilizes a belt-driven Japanese MABUCHI motor, silent and long-lasting, controlled by a light sensor for precise amperage and rotation.
  • BLDC series (double and quad units) feature brushless BLDC motors, offering quieter, energy-efficient winding and LED lighting control.

4. Power and Customization Features:

  • All Brick Single units include AC/DC adaptors and allow stacking—multiple units powered with a single adaptor.
  • Fancy Brick variants offer touchscreen activation and anti-scratch glossy finishes in multiple color options (black, white, red, orange).
  • BLDC models include USB charging and come with more extended warranties (three years).

5. Warranty & Build Quality:

  • One‑year warranty on most Brick Single options; BLDC double/quad come with three‑year coverage.
  • Deeper cavities accommodate larger straps and models; durable finishes with a stackable modular design enhance usability.

Final Tips Before Buying:

  1. Check your watch's TPD and winding direction: Start conservatively bidirectional at lower TPD if unsure.
  2. Plan for future growth: Stacking-friendly Brick units are perfect if you might expand your collection.
  3. Think power and placement: AC/DC operation and compact modular size make Brick units flexible.
  4. Lifestyle considerations: BLDC winders offer USB charging and ambient LED with minimal noise.

Conclusion:

Alpine Selection’s BOXY collection offers tailored solutions from minimalist single-winders to modular multi-watch setups. With thoughtful design, customizable TPD ranges, and stackable power options, there's a match for every collector. Choose based on your collection size, power mode, style preferences, and desired features. Understanding TPD, winding patterns, and motor types ensures your watches stay accurate and protected every day.
