Wooden winders have no such flaw (perhaps that’s part of what justifies the $220 premium wood versions have on the flat models).

Yet, despite having 30+ automatics in my house at any given time, I’ve never opted to purchase a watch winder. Over the past almost-but-not-quite 7 years, I have given away dozens of watches. Since founding WYCA in 2013, my watch collection has grown to an obscene 54 watches. Barrington Watch Winders provided this watch winder at no-cost for the purpose of this review.
