Brand Story

 

Brand Story — The Origin of Watch Winder Mall

Jackson Leadbeater, he built his career running a successful seasoning manufacturing business. But beyond his profession, Jackson has always held another identity much closer to his heart — a passionate collector of fine timepieces.

Over the years, his collection grew. So did a problem he never expected.

To properly maintain automatic watches, Jackson needed multiple professional watch winders. However, no matter which brand he chose, the result was always the same — within two years, the products would begin to fail. Motors wore out. Noise increased. Wood pieces were broken.

For a collector, this wasn’t just inconvenient — it was unacceptable.In 2009, with encouragement from his close friend Michael Dotland, he made a bold decision: “If no one builds it right, why don’t we build it ourselves?”

That moment marked the beginning of JINS&VICO. Eight Years of Relentless Development. What followed was not immediate success — but years of trial, failure, and persistence. For nearly eight years, Jackson and his team focused on one goal: to create a truly reliable, professional-grade watch winder.

They experimented with:

l  Different motor technologies

l  Advanced control systems

l  Various wood materials and structural designs

l  Long-term durability testing and noise reduction

Each iteration brought new challenges. Many seemed impossible to overcome. But we kept going. The Breakthrough — 2017. In 2017, after years of development, they achieved what once felt out of reach: A watch winder that met their own uncompromising standards.Each iteration brought new challenges.

This was more than a product launch —it was the result of solving problems that most manufacturers had simply ignored. Built with Global Precision, Designed in America.

Creating something truly reliable required more than just design — it required the right partners. Due to limited production and strict quality requirements, sourcing components was never easy. But through persistence, Jackson built strong relationships with trusted suppliers around the world. We are especially grateful to: 
Our brushless motor partners in Japan, known for precision and longevity.
Our electronic control system engineers.
Every component supplier who helped bring this vision to life.
Together, they made it possible to deliver a product that meets the expectations of serious collectors.
   A Product Made for Collectors, By a Collector. Today, every Watch Winder Mall product reflects that original mission: To create a high-quality, professionally engineered watch winder that truly lasts.
     

We don’t mass-produce without purpose.

We don’t compromise on materials.

And we never forget why this journey began.
