Everything you need to know
The Big Woody's automatic watch winder is designed to maintain and display up to 4 automatic watches simultaneously. Built from fine wood with a glass door that showcases every piece in your collection, it offers 5 programmable rotation modes (clockwise, counter-clockwise, bidirectional) compatible with all automatic calibers on the market. Its solid 3.6 kg construction ensures perfect stability during rotation cycles, and the wood naturally absorbs motor vibrations for quiet operation. Available in two interior finishes: Copper Red (warm presence, reminiscent of a traditional collector's case) or Matte Black (graphic sobriety, highlights the watch through contrast). Compatible with all brands of automatic rotor watches. 4 Watches 5 Modes

Key features
Why a winder for your automatic watches?
An automatic watch derives its kinetic energy from the natural movements of the wrist: the rotation of an internal rotor (oscillating weight) automatically winds the mainspring, powering the movement without a battery. When the watch is not worn for 24 to 48 hours, the spring unwinds, the watch stops, and it must be wound via the crown, then the time, date, and all complications (day, moon phases, GMT, perpetual calendar) must be reset.
A watch winder like the Big Woody's constantly simulates wrist movements via calibrated rotation cycles. For a collector with multiple watches, the challenge is multiplied: without a winder, every watch taken out of the drawer requires 2 to 3 minutes of adjustment. With the Big Woody's, your 4 watches are always ready to wear, perfectly on time, and the movement remains active — which preserves the longevity of the internal lubricants and therefore the caliber.
THE BIG WOODY'S SPIRIT: THE COLLECTOR'S CASE
The Big Woody's is inspired by traditional watchmaking display cases found in Swiss watch workshops in the early 20th century: a fine wood housing, a glass door revealing the pieces, and an interior lined with noble material to showcase each timepiece. This lineage is not anecdotal — it places the Big Woody's in a tradition where the winder is not just a functional device, but a full-fledged piece of horological furniture. The choice between a copper red interior (referencing traditional Swiss and English cases) or matte black (contemporary, more graphic aesthetic) allows everyone to integrate it into their environment: executive office, cozy library, collector's dressing room, or personal showroom.
How to use the Big Woody's
The 5 rotation modes — which one to choose?
| Mode | Program | Ideal for |
|---|---|---|
| Mode 1 | Manual continuous rotation (ON/OFF) | Occasional use, initial testing |
| Mode 2 | Clockwise 2 min / pause 6 min, repeat | Clockwise winding calibers (some Omega) |
| Mode 3 | Counter-clockwise 2 min / pause 6 min, repeat | Counter-clockwise winding calibers |
| Mode 4 ⭐ | Clockwise 2 min / pause 6 min / counter-clockwise 2 min / pause 6 min | Rolex, TAG Heuer, Breitling — universal choice |
| Mode 5 | Cycles 5 min every 3h, then 9h pause | Low TPD, delicate pieces, perpetual calendars |
TPD (Turns Per Day) by brand: Rolex 650 TPD → Mode 4. Omega Seamaster 800 TPD → Mode 4. TAG Heuer 650 TPD → Mode 4. IWC 650 TPD → Mode 4. Breitling 800 TPD → Mode 4. Cartier 650 TPD → Mode 4. If you do not know the exact TPD of your watch, Mode 4 (bidirectional) is the universal choice that fits the vast majority of modern automatic watches. For sensitive complications (perpetual calendar, tourbillon, minute repeater), prioritize Mode 5, which is gentler on the mechanism with its long 9-hour pause.
Optimal use: The Big Woody's can run continuously 24/7 without risk to your watches — the programmed pause cycles prevent any overwinding. For mixed collections (4 watches of different brands), you can assign a specific mode to each slot according to the caliber. The glass door keeps your watches free from dust while leaving them visible at all times.
Reserved for automatic watches. The Big Woody's is exclusively designed for rotor-based automatic calibers. It is not suitable for quartz (battery-operated) watches, solar watches, manual-wind watches (which wind only via the crown), or smartwatches. Placing these types of watches in a winder is unnecessary and can, in some cases, damage the movement.

The standout gift for collectors
The Big Woody's is the exceptional gift for an enthusiast or collector of automatic watches.
