Re: Watch winders
In Response To: Watch winders ()

Dear Mike: Those are two sweet watches - if possible, please post pictures of them. The more watches the merrier! With respect to the watch-winder, the setting does not matter as the rotors are bi-directional. The only modern watch that I know of with a unidirectional rotor is the Seiko Springdrive. Roger.
: I'm new to this forum so sorry if this has already been posted. I
: received a Heiden watch winder as a gift and it has 2 settings
: for movement, clockwise and counter clockwise. I have two
: watches, a Raymond Weil and a Baume & Mercier. Does it
: matter which setting (clockwise or counter) is used? Not sure if
: it's watch (brand) specific or not.

: Thanks in advance.
