    What is the longest you should leave an automatic watch idle? Is it worth investing in winders?

    Not sure on the idle time question but I found the winder I had a constant worry,
    If someoe broke into the house all my watches in one place!
    I only ever used it to wind whatever the wife and I was going to wear while I jumped in the shower.
    They can be super pricey for the programable ones

    Mechanical watches can be left a long time and work as soon as they are picked up again, I've herd of watches left for years and been ok. In general though I think it's best to give them a gentle shake or wind every now and again say at least every month or two.


    Opinion is split re winders, most feel it ads undue stress to the watch, doesn't help it and will require more servicing, others still swear by it. Personally I would wear each watch an average of once every two weeks or so and would never bother with a winder.
