For your mechanical automatic (self-winding) watches, you may have a “watch winder.” This is a motorized device for storing and keeping your mechanical automatic watches wound and running while you are not wearing them. There are many different companies that make these devices and there are many different types. (We do not endorse any particular type or brand of winder, nor do we suggest that it is necessary to store your watch in such a device.) Many of the winders that are on the market offer a setting option for the direction in which you can have your watch rotate, either “clockwise” or “counter-clockwise.”

For the mechanical automatic movements in the Stührling Original watches, either direction will be fine however we suggest that you set your winder in the “counter-clockwise” direction. However, there will be no harm done to your watch if you should set it in the clockwise direction.
