Watch Winder from Navale

Having bought a TAG Heuer automatic chronograph watch, it was necessary for me to look for a reasonably priced and reliable watch winder to wind the watch mechanism to keep the watch functioning at the correct movement without being overwind and damaging the mechanism of the watch. Since I usually wear other watches on weekends, I would need a winder to keep my watch wound over the two days so that the mon=vement doesnt stop due to inertia from not wearing for two days. The Navale series of watch winders from local company - Counting Time was found to be esablished with importantly good service support as enquiries and service support for mechanism issues if any were available. I ordered from the company owner - Jon who was very efficient and informative in his replies to my sales queries. He personally delivered my two watch winder unit - Mode N102 BT-C and showed me how it was to bese up with the correct winding settings.

I chose this model priced currently at promotional price of $239.00 as it is a new model, hence is finished in modern carbonfibre look instead of the laquered woody grain of conventional watch winders. This winder employs modern Japanese made winder mechanism and can accomodate two watches that can be indvidually set at different turns per day rate depening on the requirements of the watches. The vertical casing also has a smaller footprint and saves space and comes with a glass door that can be locked. Power is either by electrical plug in source or by 2 D size batteries. The watch winder can acccomodate watches up to 50mm in size. TPD rate can be adjusted between 650 -900 TPD and in the rotationl direction so desired. When you order, Jon will advise you accordingly based on your watch type and mechanism.
