How to care for your luxury watch collection: watch winders and safes by Buben & Zorweg

Building a collection of luxury watches comes with the understanding that a certain level of commitment and upkeep is required, as is the case with any luxury purchase. Regardless of whether you have a penchant for the contemporary or the vintage, high-end watches require more care than their cheaper counterparts. To ensure that your beloved timepieces maintain their appearance and functionality it is highly recommended, if not essential, to invest in a specialist watch winder and safe. Buben and Zorweg are market leaders in the field of luxury watch winders and luxury watch safes, with each of their German made products having been carefully and masterfully designed to preserve your treasured pieces. Find out why you should consider acquiring a Buben and Zorweg watch winder and safe below.

BUBEN&ZÖRWEG

Buben and Zorweg is an exclusive, globally renowned, and award-winning manufacturer of luxury goods that found its beginnings in 1995 when close friends Harald Buben and Christian Zorweg set about filling a notable gap in the market for the preservation of valuable items. This brand’s bespoke products are unique in that they do not only do an exquisite job of protecting luxury watch safety, but they also act as aesthetically pleasing interior accessories in and of themselves. Buben and Zorweg watch winders and safes all utilise exclusive materials and impressive German engineering, the end result being truly cutting edge technology and designs that inspire. Through a distinctive combination of creativity, functionality and individuality, Buben and Zorweg has managed to carve out a definitive space for themselves in the world of luxury goods. 

Why do you need a watch winder?

Automatic mechanical watches are kept wound and functioning through motion, generally the casual movement of the wearer’s arm. This motion transfers to a weight inside the watch that puts tension on the mainspring. If you have a collection of watches, or a few special pieces that do not see regular use, they will eventually use up the watch’s wound energy and stop the watch.

At J Farren-Price we are often asked “do I need a watch winder for my Rolex?” and our answer is that no matter the brand, a watch winder will always be of benefit to you and the longevity of your treasured timepieces. 

An automatic watch winder keeps your watches in motion, allowing for consistent functionality. By ensuring that tension does not fade, watch winders allow the gears within your timepiece to self-lubricate, minimising wear and tear and extending the life of your watch over the long term. Although regular maintenance is still recommended, having a watch winder means doing it less. 

Buben and Zorweg’s TIME MOVER™ winding mechanism is crafted to preserve the value of luxury watches with the utmost level of care and efficiency. The technology has been continuously perfected by expert engineers and designers over the years, utilising innovative new materials and methods to create a watch winder that is virtually silent, with a housing diameter of up to 60 mm and a battery life of up to 18 months. Rather than hiding away your coveted luxury pieces to protect them, a Buben and Zorweg watch winder box allows you to display and enjoy your watches to their full extent. The sleek, elegant designs of these watch winder cases will enhance any watch collector’s home.

For those with a taste for the classic and stylish, the COLLECTOR watch winder case is the perfect choice. With its clean lines and perfectly varnished wooden sheen, this attractive  piece is ideal for the luxury watch enthusiast with a larger collection, as it houses up to 60 timepieces. 

The VANTAGE 4 watch winder features a more understated and functional silhouette, being smaller but by no means less striking. This case holds up to four watches and, like the COLLECTOR, possesses the latest LED light technology. Its interior is lined with fine velour, whilst its exterior features black high gloss lacquer with valuable inlays of handpicked wood.
