The story behind the SwissKubiK Startbox watch winder
SwissKubiK was born out of 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 Green White Movement SK01.STB model meets this need for performance and 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 tactile, contemporary technical polymer.
Architecture, mechanism and design of this Startbox
This single-piece polyamide block takes the form of a regular cube with 11-centimetre sides. Its deep green matt finish absorbs ambient light without creating reflections. The contrast with the white engraving of the mechanism lends it a distinctive graphic quality. The internal support holds the timepiece at a geometric angle of 43 degrees to ensure efficient winding of the rotor. Inside, a strictly non-magnetic and silent sixth-generation Swiss movement 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, so as not to overwork the movement. The cycle stops with the watch face in a vertical position for a neat presentation. Powered by two standard batteries, it provides up to three years of uninterrupted operation.
