If you like expensive watches, chances are, you’re willing to invest in a nice case to house them in. You’re probably also willing to spend a little more on a nice winder to keep those automatic watches running while they wait for their turn to be worn on your wrist.   That’s when you start shopping for one of Bernard Favre’s Planet Classic Watch Winders.

Designed to match the aesthetics of your favorite Rolex or Hublot, the watch winder won’t just keep your automatic timepiece powered when it’s not in use, but turn it into a veritable display piece. Heck, it’s so pretty you won’t want to confine your currently in-storage self-winding watches in the bedroom closet, making them great display pieces for your dresser, bedside table, and living room shelves.

Once you strap in your watch to the Planet Classic Watch Winder, it uses a trio of rings mounted atop a motorized mechanism at the base to simulate natural human movement, enabling it to keep the timepiece powered and running. It comes with 10 settings, each one rotating the rings at different directions over different lengths of time, ensuring you can find just the right sequence to work with, pretty much, any kind of complication. An onboard battery can keep it running for up to seven hours straight, although you can hook it up to a USB port or wall outlet to keep it continuously powered. Each one measures 12.4 x 15.5 cm (diameter x height), with an aluminum base and three variants in ring construction (gold-plated, polished chrome, or anodized black aluminum).
