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
The newly enhanced touchscreen system in your watch winder safe has been designed to deliver an elevated user experience. With improved responsiveness and a refined, intuitive interface, it provides full control over each winder’s settings in a simple and streamlined format.
To activate the system, gently tap the screen to wake it. Once activated, the interface presents a clear and well-organised control panel that allows you to navigate through all available options with ease. The touchscreen is designed for smooth operation, ensuring precise adjustments and a highly responsive user experience.
The display is divided into two functional screens. On the left, a dedicated information screen clearly presents all relevant data, including the selected TPD (Turns Per Day), rotation direction, and current operating mode for each winder. On the right, the interactive touchscreen allows you to access and customise the control settings. From this screen, you can independently adjust each winder’s parameters to suit the specific requirements of your timepieces.
This thoughtfully designed system provides an effortless and elegant way to manage your watch collection with confidence and precision.
Arbitrary Slot Selection
This feature enables you to individually select and customise each watch winder, tailoring the settings to suit the specific requirements of your timepieces. With a simple tap, you can access and adjust the rotation preferences for a single winder—ensuring every watch receives the exact care and attention it deserves. This personalised control offers the perfect balance of convenience and precision for true watch enthusiasts.
Stop / Start / 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.
LED Lamp
This button activates the built-in LED white light, beautifully illuminating your watch collection while enhancing visibility and adding a sophisticated touch to your display.
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.
Selection of TPD Mode
The TPD selection button on your watch winder allows you to easily cycle through the available Turns Per Day modes. With a simple press, you can select the optimal rotation setting tailored to your specific watch, ensuring it remains accurately wound and ready to wear.
Understanding Turns Per Day (TPD)
Turns Per Day (TPD) refers to the number of rotations a watch winder completes within a 24-hour period. It is a key setting that ensures your automatic watch continues to operate accurately when not being worn. Selecting the correct TPD prevents overwinding and unnecessary wear, while also maintaining the movement's precision and power reserve.
Most automatic watches require between 650 and 1,950 TPD, depending on their internal mechanism and design specifications.
Identifying the Correct TPD Setting
To ensure optimal performance, we recommend referencing the manufacturer’s guidelines for your specific timepiece. This information is typically available in the original instruction manual or on the brand’s official website. If you are unable to locate it, a qualified watchmaker will be able to advise you on the correct TPD for your model.
Accurately matching the TPD to your watch’s needs promotes mechanical health and supports long-term performance.

TPD Modes Available in Your Watch Winder
Your watch winder is equipped with five preset TPD (Turns Per Day) modes, each designed to suit a variety of automatic watch movements. Each mode operates on a timed cycle, rotating for one minute, followed by a calculated pause to achieve the desired number of turns within a 24-hour period.
Mode 1 – 650 TPD: Rotates for 1 minute, pauses for 571 seconds
Mode 2 – 750 TPD: Rotates for 1 minute, pauses for 487 seconds
Mode 3 – 850 TPD: Rotates for 1 minute, pauses for 423 seconds
Mode 4 – 1000 TPD: Rotates for 1 minute, pauses for 350 seconds
Mode 5 – 1950 TPD: Rotates for 1 minute, pauses for 150 seconds
Each setting is tailored to mimic natural wrist movement throughout the day. If you're unsure which mode is best suited for your timepiece, Mode 3 (850 TPD) or Mode 4 (1000 TPD) is generally a safe and effective choice for most modern automatic watches.
Using the correct TPD setting not only ensures consistent timekeeping but also preserves the internal mechanics of your watch over time.
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.
