A Watch Winder without TPD?

An ex-colleague of mine emailed me yesterday of his interesting find; a watch winder that doesn’t provide TPDs. He lamented in his email about how people are just jumping on the bandwagon selling watch winders without knowing anything about the product.

It didn’t hit me until I opened the link. This was what the seller said,

“Also, my winders do not work on Turns Per Day as Germany motors are not created to so that, they work on mins and like the modes mentioned above. It is to imitate the movement of the hand which per day will cause more than 1000 to 2000 turns on your automatic watches. Hope that answers some of your questions. Thank you so much.” - killkyo

This is a true example that in today’s market, majority of the sellers and manufacturers of chinese-made watch winders with foreign sounding names are simply selling and/or manufacturing watch winders without throughout product knowledge.

All motors provide TPD. Orbita winders oscillate and its TPD can be calculated. TPDs although are estimates only, can be calculated. Depending on factors such as the weight of watches, type of drive system and battery capacity, the resulting TPD can be affected.

If a watch winder turns, it will provide Turns per Day period.
