Why use a Watch winder?
An automatic watch has a mechanism that requires regular motion to keep the inner spring constantly charged; this motion is usually provided as it is worn. Once removed from the wrist, the stored energy will only run for 24-72 hours, depending upon the model, then the watch will need to be manually rewound and reset.
Furthermore, watches of this caliber are precision instruments and if left unwound for long periods, internal lubricants can be lost from critical areas which will eventually lead to excessive wear on components as well as a subsequent lack of accuracy.
Rapport watch winders have features designed to mimic the action of a watch being worn. The watch is held at a precise angle while being rotated and the winder can be set to run intermittently so that the watch is always permanently wound.
