The history of this IWC Schaffhausen watch winder
IWC Schaffhausen produces technical instruments designed to meet specific requirements. In 1985, master watchmaker Kurt Klaus unveiled the perpetual calendar on the Da Vinci model. This horological complication requires continuous operation to maintain the accuracy of its displays. This motorised watch winder was created to address this technical requirement. It enables collectors to keep the movements of their automatic calibres running when the watches are not being worn.
Case, motor and display compartment of this winding box
This cabinet measures 270 mm on each side and is 160 mm deep. It features a Macassar ebony-style veneer, protected by a lacquered finish. The front features four circular acrylic windows, framed by metal rings. Inside, the space is lined with a black textured fabric. The watches rest on four soft IWC-branded supports. The rotation is driven by four independent rotors, powered by 5V direct current. Individual controls allow you to activate normal rotation or demonstration mode.
