Using a watch winder is straightforward, but proper setup is essential to ensure optimal performance and avoid potential damage to your timepiece. This guide outlines the key steps to set up and use a watch winder effectively.
1. Check Your Watch’s Specifications
Before using a watch winder, consult your watch’s manual to determine its winding requirements. Note the recommended rotation direction (clockwise, counterclockwise, or both) and the number of turns per day (TPD).
2. Secure the Watch
Place your watch on the winder’s holder and ensure it is securely fastened. The watch should fit snugly to prevent movement during operation. For oversized or smaller watches, use adjustable holders or cushions provided by the winder.
3. Set the Rotation Direction and TPD
Adjust the winder’s settings to match your watch’s specifications. Lux Watch Care’s winders feature intuitive controls that allow you to customize these settings with ease.
4. Position the Winder
Place the winder on a flat, stable surface away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure it is in a location where the motor noise won’t cause disruptions.
5. Power the Winder
Connect the winder to a power source or insert batteries if it is battery-operated. Test the winder to ensure it is functioning correctly before leaving your watch in it for extended periods.
6. Regular Maintenance
Keep your watch winder clean and dust-free to maintain its performance. Periodically check the motor and other components for any signs of wear.
