How can my watch winder prolong the life of my watch?

 

When your watch stops (or slows down), the lubricating oil inside will stay in one place. It creates clumps and loses a proper viscosity level. Some parts of the watch may not be oiled enough anymore, even when the movement is back. A watch winder makes it impossible to lose the proper level of viscosity.
