How to Use Your Watch Winder
To begin using your watch winder, let’s start with the components located at the rear of the unit. You will find a silver panel equipped with two switches and one power input, each serving a specific function.
1.
On/Off Button
This button controls the power supply to the watch winder. Simply toggle it to the "on" position to activate the unit, or switch it off when not in use to conserve energy.
2.
ACS
The ACS feature is an advanced mechanism designed to enhance the safety and functionality of your watch winder. When enabled, this system automatically stops the rotation of the watch winder when the door is opened, protecting your timepieces from unnecessary movement. If disabled, the watch winders will continue to rotate even when the door is opened and closed, offering flexibility in usage.
3.
Power Input
This is the port where you connect the power cable to provide electrical input to the unit. Ensure the plug is securely connected to the power source to enable proper functionality of the watch winder.
Touch Screen Operations
We have recently upgraded our watch winders touch screen to offer a highly intelligent and responsive system that greatly enhances the user experience. This advanced touch screen is designed to be sleek, intuitive, and efficient, giving you full control over the operation of your watch winders with just a few taps.
To begin, tap the screen to wake up the settings menu. From here, you can easily navigate through all available options to customise your watch winding preferences. The interface is smooth and responsive, providing an effortless way to manage your watch winders.
Arbitrary Slot Selection (MOT – Mode of Operation)
MOT allows you to individually select and control each watch winder based on the unique needs of your timepieces. Simply tap on a specific winder to access and adjust its settings independently. This personalised approach ensures that each watch receives the precise care it requires. Selecting “00” activates all watch winders simultaneously, letting you apply changes across the entire collection at once.
On / Off / Pause
The Stop / Pause / Start function provides full control over the winding process. Tap the “Pause” button to halt the operation, and tap “Start” to resume the cycle, giving you precise control whenever needed.
TPD - Operation Mode
The TPD (Turns Per Day) setting controls how many times your watch is rotated within a 24-hour period. Your winder offers TPD settings ranging from 300 to 2,300, which you can select based on your watch's requirements.
The time modes—24-hour, 12-hour, and 8-hour—determine how the rotations are distributed throughout the day:
24-Hour Mode: Rotations are spread evenly across the entire day.
12-Hour Mode: The winder operates for 12 hours and remains idle for the next 12.
8-Hour Mode: The winder completes all rotations within 8 hours, then stays off for the remaining 16.
These modes help adjust how frequently your watch is wound, depending on your preference or storage habits.
The system automatically adjusts the operation cycle to match your selection. The time calculations are based on the TDP setting (10 laps per cycle), ensuring accurate winding according to the chosen mode.
DIR - Rotation Direction
Select the rotation direction for each winder, either clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on your watch’s needs. This feature ensures that each timepiece is wound properly for optimal performance.
ADJ - RGB Ambient Lighting Control
The ADJ setting offers customisable circular RGB ambient lighting, allowing you to choose from 48 vibrant colour options. This feature enables you to tailor the lighting to match your desired mood or environment. Whether you want a calming hue or a bold, dynamic display, the adjustable colour spectrum adds a unique, personalised touch to your watch winder, elevating its visual appeal while showcasing your collection in style.
LED Brightness Control
The LED setting allows you to adjust the backlighting of your watch winder, enhancing both functionality and aesthetic appeal. You can choose from three distinct brightness levels, enabling you to create the perfect lighting environment for your collection. Whether you prefer a soft glow for a subtle ambiance or a brighter illumination to highlight your timepieces, this feature gives you full control over the lighting intensity.
Remote Control
This luxury watch winder comes equipped with a premium remote control, designed for seamless and sophisticated operation. From the comfort of your seat, you can easily power the unit on or off, adjust lighting, select rotation directions, and set the desired TPD (Turns Per Day) — all without opening the case.
Combining modern convenience with refined functionality, the remote control enhances your overall user experience, allowing for effortless customisation while preserving the elegance of your watch display

Maintenance & Care
Ensuring Longevity and Optimal Performance
Your Westhill Watch Box watch winder and watch safe have been crafted with premium materials and precision engineering to protect and maintain your valuable timepieces. Regular maintenance and proper care will ensure they continue to function flawlessly for years to come.
Why Regular Maintenance is Important
- Preserves Performance: Dust, debris, and improper handling can affect the motor and internal mechanisms over time.
- Prevents Damage: Proper care minimises wear on both the watch winder and your watches.
- Ensures Security: Keeping the safe and lock mechanisms in top condition enhances protection for your collection.
Essential Care & Maintenance Guidelines
Power Supply: Always use the original adapter to power the safe and winder. Using an incompatible adapter can cause electrical damage and shorten the lifespan of the unit.
Regular Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of your watch winder and safe with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. For deeper cleaning, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for wood, metal, or leather surfaces (depending on your model).
Interior Care: Use a soft brush or microfibre cloth to clean the interior, ensuring no dust or debris interferes with the watch holders or winding mechanisms.
Watch Placement: Ensure your watches are securely fastened onto their pillows before inserting them into the winder. Loose watches may shift during operation and cause unnecessary wear.
Avoid Manual Interference: Never attempt to manually stop or spin the rotator while it is in motion, as this can strain the motor and damage the internal components.
Keep Away from Magnets: Place your watch winder away from strong magnetic fields, as magnets can interfere with the accuracy of automatic watches.
Humidity Control: Store your watch winder in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to condensation inside the safe or affect leather interiors. If needed, consider using silica gel packs or a dehumidifier in humid environments.
Battery Check: If your watch safe includes a fingerprint lock or electronic controls, periodically check the battery levels and replace them as needed to avoid lockout issues.
Lubrication & Inspection: While the winder is designed for long-term use, periodic inspection of the moving parts ensures smooth operation. If any unusual noises or resistance occur, consult Westhill Watch Boxes for troubleshooting assistance.
By following these maintenance steps, you will extend the life of your watch winder and safe while ensuring your watches remain in pristine condition.
