ORBITA DEBUTS A POP-UP WATCHWINDER

Keeping six mechanical watches fully wound and well "exercised" is the task of the new AVANTI 6 watchwinder.  The unique case design provides lockable security and easy viewing in the down position behind a beveled glass window.  A simple touch on top of the cabinet releases the complete watchwinder chassis which "floats" upward to the raised position allowing for quick and easy mounting of the watches.

Each winding station is individually powered and controlled by its own on/off switch.  The patented ROTORWIND system periodically gently "rocks" each watch in a series of oscillations (choose either 10 or 15 minute cycles) keeping virtually any automatic watch fully wound and ready to wear.  There is absolutely no chance of overwinding the watch or causing unnecessary wear of the watch's winding mechanism.

While the "pop-up" chassis is in the raised position, power to it is automatically disconnected and is only reconnected when the chassis is lowered to its rest position.

The AVANTI 6 is offered in two finishes:  An elegant Madronna Burl or a very contemporary Ebony/Macassar finish.  Both versions feature carbon fiber trim panels which dramatically enhance the appearance of this attractive unit.

Suggested retail price in either finish is $5,995.
