12-Slots Walnut Watch Winder with 6 Free Storages, High-Gloss Piano Lacquer, LUKDOF

Everything about this watch winder is flawless and perfect. It is not only a highly functional and customizable wider for your high end watches, but it is a gorgeous piece of furniture that you will be happy to display.

The winder comes well packed - double boxed with a dense foam casing, soft protective sleeve around a layer of light foam. As soon as you open the top of the box, you can tell everything about this case is going to be high end and premium.

Removing all the packing materials does not disappoint. The winder is handsomely finished in high gloss walnut with metal and glass appointments. It is simply beautiful. Every detail is considered - from the finely finished hardware, to the chrome accents, to the diamond appointments, and even to the tasseled lock key. Everything... and I mean everything, screams luxury. It is a winder that is every bit deserving to display the watches intended for it.

Functionally, the winder continues to excel. The winding motor is whisper quiet and configurable for different types and sizes of watches. You can set the rotation modes, spin direction, and duration of movement. The watch pillows are just that - leather pillows that will securely hold and pamper your watches. They are spring loaded and come in three different sizes to accommodate different watch sizes. They then snap into each bay, securing the watch and the pillow in place during rotation. The engineering is extremely thoughtful in its function and ease of use. In addition to the winding bays, the upper part of the case includes six non-winding display slots - each with their own precisely-formed pillow. In all this winding case will hold up to 18 of your luxury watches - 12 in winding bays and 6 non-winding.

I cannot express enough how happy I am with this watch winding case. While I am only showing two watches in my photos, I cannot wait to get it fully set up and in place. I want to be as meticulous about setting-up this display as Lukdof was in building it. If you are a collector of luxury watches, this case is a must have to protect and display your collection. It does these fine time pieces justice and does not disappoint. If I could give this winder 10 stars, I most definitely would.

If you are looking at this, you probably already know what a watch winder is and what it is for. Let me tell you a few specifics about this one. First of all, the lock on the right side locks both top and front doors. It only comes with one key, so if you lose the key when the door is locked, then you probably have to re-order through the company and wait for it to come to you. The watch pillows are fantastic. They fit all my watches and bracelets with the varying degrees of size. I lock mind down completely like I would on my wrist and let the spring adjustment on the pillow hold the watch fast. It took me awhile to figure out but there are 12 watch slots but you can only adjust them in pairs. That is to say, watch slot #1 and #2 are number "1m" on the panel readout. Which means that the rotation pattern you choose for the first watch slot willl apply to the second one also. So, you have control over six pairs of watch slots. Nota big deal to me but something to be aware of. I have a very hard to power up/wind watch with a bespoke movement that most watch winders cannot handle. By choosing the highest setting winding pattern, this watch winder did manage to power it up. Fantastic! My other automatic watches powered up just fine under the default setting (mostly ETA movements). You can "turn off" the watch slots (again in pairs) so you can place your quartz and manual wind watches in this cabinet without having them undergo the rotational winding process. For example, in my picture, only the top row are automatics, rows #2 & #3 are quartz of manual wind and do not rotate as I have turned their slots off. So it is a great way to show off all your watches as long as you have 12 or less, lol. Lastly, this is. heavy piece. It comes in a huge box that I am happy to say is packed very well and protects the unit very well. Lifting the thing is a little challenge and in some ways, this watch winder looks and functions more like a piece of furniture rather than a watch box. I've tossed my 24-slot watch box which sat of my dresser for this winder which sits next to me at my desk. A much more fun way to choose a watch without having to worry about whether it is powered up or not. It's a fun toy if you can afford it. I'm glad I have one for my collection.

The Lukdof 12 slot watch winder box is an attractive and from all indications, a qualitatively constructed device. I have some degree of hesitancy to fully commend this device as I'm not sure it isn't merely a rebranded Jins & Vico winder which has mixed reviews in relation to longevity. That said, I've only had this one for a short period and haven't noticed any critical performance issues however generally speaking I've found vertically oriented winders superior to those with slanted turnstiles. It also has to be factored in higher profile multi slot winders of this type can command prices ten times or more as compared to this unit which is a significant consideration when in reality, any winder is an entirely discretionary accessory for any automatic watch collection.

The outer case is a high gloss wood grain laminate. The plexigass glass front door features the same high gloss laminated wood grain and stainless steel framing encapsuling the display glass. The door can be locked with a provided skeleton key and the upper storage section which will accomodate an additional six watches is locked by the same mechanism. The top section can only be opened when the main compartment door is ajar. The interior is optionally illuminated by blue LED lamps which can be activated via rear positioned switch or the interior positioned control panel which also facilitates user selection of individual pairs winder start/stop, rotational direction (Clockwise, counter clockwise, alternating), assignment of operational modes (five options for six paired winder units, from 650 to 1950 TPD). The interior also has a few faux diamond studs which are fundamentally frivolous ornamentation. The back panel has switches for power and disabling the interior lighting.

My major criticisms are two turnstiles are operated as a set which places greater stress on the associated motors and the inability to independently inactivate the paired sets so an empty watch slot will continue to run on days a specific watch is worn but at the price point a few compromises have to be accepted. The motors are quiet in operation and smoothly turn...although it appears paired sets have to be balanced in weight otherwise the turnstile with the heavier watch may rotate at a slower rate regardless of TPD setting for that module. But as noted earlier, at the price point it is not so much of a deficiency that I find this device unacceptable.

The adaptable PU leather covered pillow holders work on a spring tension system and should accommodate most watch bands. The packaging includes additional two cushions each of larger and smaller size. In order to secure a watch on the pillow holder is necessary to close or lock any clasps and the watch will stably rotate when the motor drives commence operation. Generally speaking, my mechanicals do not have the number of complications requiring tedious resets if they wind down so for my personal needs and preferences this winder is far more of a convenience than necessity so the cost savings over competitive devices with greater precision makes this one worth acceptance of the mentioned deficiencies.

Best winder I have ever used
