Question:
I have a question about the
Buben and Zorweg Time Mover Classic 2 watch winder. I just have a Tag Heuer watch. If I bought this winder, would it be OK to use with just this watch? Would it work better if I put another watch, a low end watch just so it would work better? Thank You. Speedy
Answer:
For such a fine watch you are certainly looking at the right level of watch winder. It is shocking the number of people who purchase the finest watches made and yet trust their care to the cheapest winders made. Penny Wise pound foolish, nice to see you my friend are not foolish!
The standard recommendation when using a winder with 2 watches on one winding head is to place a second watch of about the same weight on the opposite side for balance. This prevents the winder from winding at a slanted angle. It protects the winder as much as it protects your watch. Cheaper winders employ this 2 watch per winder head style and typically we say to avoid such winders however, Buben is built so well it probably can wind your Tag Heur just fine all by itself with no risk. But the standard advice is prudent, this is an expensive winder you may as well protect it.
The cheap winders that use this tactic for making their winders seem like bargains in pricing do not use internal parts as does Buben and Orbita and the winder can not withstand the weight of 2 watches, at least this is what is reported to us over and over again by people who learned things the hard way. Glad to see you are smart enough to buy a high quality watch winder for your high end watch!
