Watch Winder Boxes and Cases
By Marcus Peterson
Watch winder boxes come in as many options as the watch winders themselves. Since many people who purchase winders do so because they own very expensive or treasured devices, they often feel the need to have a complimenting watch winder box. Some boxes are made of beautiful hand carved wood, while others are primarily glass made for viewing. Some boxes even have open rotating devices to keep your cherished watch on display for easy viewing.
Perhaps you own a beautiful watch that is a family heirloom. You want to keep your watch in good working order but it is not necessarily a watch that is worn on a regular basis. In cases such as this, a watch winder may be a good purchase. If your piece is particularly treasured and/or valuable, you may consider purchasing a top-of-the-line watch winder box or case.
Some of the less expensive watch winders on the market are useful for not-so-cherished pieces. Likewise, it can be considered a good investment for those owning higher quality self-winding watches to purchase a nice watch winder box or case. These boxes come with a multitude of options with virtually every option imaginable. Prices can be steep in some cases, however many who truly appreciate their pieces find it a small investment in maintaining a properly functioning watch.
If you own a particularly prized watch, you might be interested in a watch winder box or case that is designed for showcasing. Some boxes are created to have glass exteriors, which enable viewers to have a clear view of the piece while keeping it free from dust and other elements that may cause damage. Although watch winders may be functional in that they keep an unworn watch from running down, watch winder boxes and cases can be used as both functional and decorative aides for the self-winding watch.
Some of the more extravagant watch winders boxes and cases can be fairly expensive. Depending upon your needs and/or desires, a watch winder box can be designed to beautifully display your piece and keep it protected. The features of some cases that have built-in storage units and even heating elements awe many avid enthusiasts. The storage units are often useful to store other valuables. The heating elements of some units keep the piece at a consistent temperature that resembles that of the human body. Since self-winding watches are specifically designed for wrist wear, some collectors find it necessary to keep their displays heated to avoid damage or deterioration.
Watch winder boxes and cases can be as intricate and beautiful as the watches they encase. Experts in this field suggest that watch winder boxes are rather useful if you own more than one self-winding watch, especially if the watches are valuable and precious to you. The handle that supports and winds the watch is usually adjustable and can be altered to fit any size watchband.
Features and options can vary widely among watch winder boxes and cases. Some elegant boxes are created from wood or may have a beautiful leather exterior. Those in the mid-range price group are often completely enclosed and are not usually considered for viewing purposes. These and more extravagant boxes may also be equipped with A/C or batteries to keep the winder functioning. Many people enjoy those types of features if the box will be stored for a period of time. The usage of a battery can be particularly useful if one choose to keep their watches in a safe-deposit box.
From the serious collector to the person who has a treasured family timepiece, watch winder boxes and cases can be a wonderful investment. Maintaining functionality and preserving the quality of the self-winding watch can assure the owner of an indefinite period of enjoyment. Although pricing for the high-end boxes can become very steep, most people find it a small price to pay for the protection and display of their prized possessions.
