The story behind the SwissKubiK Startbox watch winder
SwissKubiK was founded following a radical realisation by its founder, Philippe Béchert. The watchmaking industry produces highly precise movements, yet the accessories intended to maintain them do not meet the same standards. He therefore decided to apply the Swiss Made standards to rotating watch winders. The SwissKubiK Startbox Soft Touch model, in this bronze finish, meets this need for performance and functional minimalism. The cubic shape is not merely an aesthetic choice but a direct tribute to function. The cube is designed to be modular and stackable. The Startbox collection was conceived to make the brand’s internal technology more accessible, moving away from wood or leather in favour of a technical polymer firmly rooted in the present day.
Architecture, mechanism and design of this Startbox
This single-piece polyamide block takes the form of a regular cube with 11-centimetre sides. Its matt bronze-coloured finish absorbs ambient light without creating reflections. This version is distinguished by its internal cavity and watch holder, both finished in deep black. This interplay of warm colour contrasts lends the object an elegant dimension. The holder positions the timepiece at a 43-degree angle to ensure efficient winding of the rotor. Inside, a strictly non-magnetic and silent sixth-generation Swiss mechanism operates. The rotation cycle is calibrated to 1,600 revolutions per day, comprising 800 clockwise and 800 anti-clockwise rotations. A programmed pause allows the mainspring to unwind naturally. The cycle stops with the watch face in a vertical position for a neat presentation. Powered by two standard batteries, it ensures up to three years of uninterrupted operation.
