Using a watch winder is a must for my collection. I hate to let my watches grind to a halt and then having to fiddle for about 2 to 3 minutes to set them properly again
That's the main reason why I guess. If you have a collection... So easy.
Easy yes and keeping them wound is best for the movement.
Of course, hand winding an automatic is a bit of a drag...
No shocks... just an easy rest home for them all. lol
Well, handy if you are a collector right?
The main reason over here is... having four kids under the age of 10. Can you imagine the kind of mayhem, the utter abandonment with which they might throw things around - or themselves for that matter? So, yes - a watch winder is the least safeguard I could think of. I wanted a vault but the wife was against that. (Maybe because she couldn't check up on the collection anymore eh?)
