Bernard Favre Black Rings Watch Winder, CHF 1,590 (approx. £1,425)
A watch winder is often as much a decorative object as it is a practical one, and the Bernard Favre planetary winders demonstrate that perfectly. With rotating rings like an armillary sphere, it makes for a spectacular view as it keeps your watch topped up on power. The double-axis motion also prevents one of the perceived issues of watch winders, the fact that a constant rotation on a single axis puts uneven strain on the movement, which can damage it.
Available at Bernard Favre.
Bennett Winch Triple Watch Roll, £685
Keeping your watches safe while you transport them is important and the Bennett Triple Watch Roll is ideal for keeping a trio of timepieces protected. It’s handmade in London with panels of Tuscan leather arranged around an ultra-durable yet flexible Kevlar core. Cushioning the watches on the inside is an Alcantara suede lining, providing a soft protective layer. When closed, the structure becomes rigid, preventing the watches from getting crushed or damaged. It’s available in brown or black, offering classic and refined appearances with a distinctive hexagonal shape.
Available at Bennett Winch.
