The watch winders available for automatic watches come under three broad classifications today. The first one is the functional or operational watch winder. Such automatic watch winders wind one or more watches. Thus it is imperative to keep them on shelf at some respectable height. Even a tabletop suits the purpose.

The elegant ones form the second category and theirs is the need to meet the criteria of beauty and grace along with operation. Either they come in a wooden box or a beautiful suede leather cover. They can be verily displayed anywhere but are generally kept in a drawer. They can even be kept in a safe-deposit box.

The third category is of the extravagant ones. It is needless to say that luxury has no bounds. On similar precepts the winders get really exorbitant and many features are added to them. The watch winders get a heater to keep the watch proximal to the body temperature. They can have built-in drawers and contemporized time displays. These winders we talk about are those at the very high-end.

The choice of using a/c or battery power units is also served on a platter for these pieces of beauty.
