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 silver 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 silver-coloured finish absorbs ambient light without creating reflections. This version is distinguished by its pure white engraving. This cool, luminous colour contrast lends the object a highly contemporary architectural dimension. The stand holds the timepiece at a 43-degree angle 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. The cycle stops with the watch face in a vertical position for an elegant presentation. Powered by two standard batteries, it ensures up to three years of uninterrupted operation.
