The luxury of buying beautiful and expensive accessories also brings with it the luxury of being able to buy the perfect storage for these items. Orbita brings out the Orbita Avanti 8 to safely guard your luxury watches in style.
The Orbita Avanti 8 cabinet is made from Macassar and Madrona Burl fine wood and consists of 8 different watch winder units. The Madrona Burl version looks much more exotic and expensive, but both units are similar in all ways (except for the wood used) and cost the same. The third row of the cabinet is made in such a way that it can store excess watches and watch accessories. The whole cabinet is fortified with carbon fiber and has a glass front; the hinges come in steel, brass, chrome or gold plated steel. The units are also available as wall hung versions.

Erwin Sattler has launched the Custodia. The Custodia is a great piece of furniture, which comes with secret space to save all your treasured material. The idea that these pieces of furniture can hold so many secrets is something that baffles me. Imagine, you have a closet and you think the owner keeps only wine in it.
If you prod a little or just snoop around, you would find diamonds and jewelry in the secret space. It also doubles up as a watch winder and is too luxurious for the common man’s tastes. There is also a 13-layer varnish to give the closet a shiny and pampered look. It also comes with LED lamps so that your precious watches glow in the light and you could show off in front of your guests.

From the looks of it, women were very upset about the masculine looking watch winders most luxury timepieces came with. There was a need for a more feminine touch to this useful gadget. And so Orbita, a North Carolina based company, just launched a line of women oriented single watch winders. Yes, in a whole range of colors too!
The fairer sex (and we are not referring to the complexion) will be happy to learn that the Sparta Mini works in a ‘plug and plug’ style, that means you do not have to fiddle with any settings as it rotates once in every 10 minutes. You can pick your fave from crème, red, blue, pink and white, each done up on faux lizard skin on plastic.

With so many high-end timepieces coming up in the market, watch makers are busy contemplating ideas to stand apart from the crowd. Perhaps that is the reason why famed brand Louis Moinet has decided to provide each of their watch with a watch winder. Many of you must be under the impression that this rather obvious tool must be accompanying all the luxury automatic mechanical timepieces, but we are sorry to burst the bubble because most of them do not!
The US-based company Orbita will be making this watch winder which will comes sitting pretty inside a book-shaped case, where the watch too can remain after being wound until the owner decides to wear it. The concept of adding the watch winder is a very useful one because most Luis Moinet timepieces need everyday winding and doing it manually can be very tasking.

If you are one of those lovers of fine timepieces and watch winders, luxurious `Objects of Time’ by Buben and Zorweg is who you should count on. The best specialty about them is their constant efforts to move beyond the borders of feasibility.
Like the double tourbilon complication for a limited series table clock, or the Ellipse Grand Revers Double Tourbilon, Watch Winders, or creations like Solitaire or Collector’s Salon. Presentation of watches is taken to newer heights in elegance, by Buben and Zorweg.
About eight years back in 2001, Buben and Zorweg came up with the smallest watch winder. Cut to 2006 when the brand launched Pythagoras World Time Tourbillon, the world’s first mechanical table clock with world time and tourbillion. Efforts such as these speak for the tireless quality that the brand infuses into its work. And the absolute no compromise stance on quality.

For all those watch lovers, here is an opportunity to flaunt their mechanical watch collection by adding a spark of life to their otherwise dead mainsprings. It is possible via Steinhausen’s latest offering of a Watch Winder that can lodge around 20 mechanical timepieces. And if by any chance your mechanical masterpieces catch ill, it would still welcome them to offer a soothing device to your guests. This designer Watch Winder Pro by Steinhausen Armada looks like a retro cabinet. Apparently it has two electric motors, which replicates the feat of your wrist by leisurely rotary motion, thus twisting up your mechanical timepieces. The Armada comes in a cultured, cherry refined wood case that breeds vintage appeal throughout. Priced at $1500, this may convince you to purchase five elite mechanical wristwatches within this amount.
P.S.: Ink this deal with Steinhausen Armada only if you respect watches (no matter you don’t respect time) and should have gamut of automatic watches to flaunt.
