Mechanical watches are machines of motion – leave them idle too long and their internal oils settle, timekeeping falters, and resetting becomes a chore. That’s where a well-engineered winder earns its keep. Enter the Barrington 2-Watch Winder, a piece of utility dressed in ambition.

A polished cabinet with carbon-effect lining, it houses two independently programmable rotors with full control over rotation direction (CW, CCW or alternating) and turns per day (650 up to 1,950 depending on your watch’s requirements). LED downlighters, a remote control, and even a fingerprint scanner (storing up to 20 prints) elevate it beyond gadgetry into guardian status.

Its Japanese motors whisper rather than whine, so you won’t hear it in your bedroom or office. Beneath the gloss finish, there’s even space for extra pieces: a hidden drawer for straps or quartz watches.

This winder isn’t (just) about flaunting your finest watches; it’s about protecting investment, preserving precision, and offering your timepieces the ritual of motion they deserve.

Barrington Watch Winders was founded in 2009 with one aim: to provide high quality, affordable watch winders for each and every type of watch aficionado, and the 2-Watch Winder is one of its best sellers for good reason.

We’ve teamed up with Barrington to offer you the chance to win the Barrington 2-Watch Winder worth £499.
