WATCHWINDER MODULES FOR BUILT-INS

Orbita now makes it easy for fabricators to design and build a custom multiple watchwinder system for a closet, safe, or any special storage area.

The Rotorwind® winder modules are completely self contained and operate on low voltage, readily available, alkaline batteries.  With battery life measured in years, not months, there is no need for providing any high voltage electrical house wiring connections.

Modules are supplied fully assembled and installation is both quick and easy.  A single 3-3/8" diameter hole is all that is needed.  On/off control is accessible from the front of the mounting panel as is a timing mode switch allowing for normal 10 minute operation or extended battery life 15 minute operation.  Panels may be mounted vertically or tilted back 5º to 10º for fail-safe operation in the event that mounting cups are not positioned correctly.

The patented winder mechanism keeps virtually every make and model of automatic (self-winding) mechanical watch fully wound with no chance of over winding.  Ball bearings are used throughout the gear system and rotating cup to insure low friction, long life, and silent operation.  Watches are mounted on resilient cushions which are available in several sizes to suit ladies watches or men's larger watches.  There are thousands of these winders already in use providing trouble free operation without any need for maintenance or service.
