Winders are expensive. The price for one might
be as low as $200 and as high as $5,000. But
suppose you are a commodities investor and have a major market position in (say) titanium

Philippe ($15,000) for social events and a stainless-steel Rolex ($5,000) for work.
Then you should consider a Watch Winder ($3,000) so that the alternate watch does not run
down. It is actually an attractive
conversation piece, in polished rosewood or fine leather. |
