Automatic Watch Winder Boxes by Orbita Corporation

Orbita Corporation creates high end products, specializing in motorized watch winders. In twenty

years, they have grown from creating one product to the premiere retailer of watch winders. The founder, Chuck Agnoff, designed the first watch winder because if his watches were not worn for a few days they would stop running and would need to be reset. The first device mimicked the swinging of the wrist as if a person were constantly wearing the watch. The watch-winders move the watches automatically, keeping the time and date set even when left unworn.

Orbita watch winder collections are divided by two leading technologies: rotorwind and programmable. The rotorwind models work like the initial design, mimicking the motion of the wearer’s wrist and swinging an automatic watch. These models only utilize power for a few seconds every eight to twelve minutes, and sustain their lithium battery for years. The programmable winders have a microprocessor, which control the turns per day and the rotation. They can be programmed for cycles of 650, 800, 900, or 1300 turns-per-day and can be moved clockwise, counterclockwise, or with automatic reversing rotation. These operate using a 6VDC battery or a wall adapter.

The rotorwind collection is available in twenty-five configurations, ranging from models that hold and wind a single watch to a collection of forty-eight. The most impressive single rotorwind model is the Sparta Deluxe. The winder is held in a burl or teak finished wooden box. The interior is lined with suede and for the protection of the watches. The Programmable collection comes in ten styles with twenty-one configurations. A premiere single watch configuration is the Cristalo, which features nine winding programs to cover the needs of nearly any mechanical watch. The Cristalo is made primarily of a crystal glass cover that is placed overtop of a mirrored based and a black Lacquer base to which the winding module is mounted. Both the rotorwind and programmable mechanisms are available in the Avanti Series, which allows for up to forty-eight watches to be maintained simultaneously. The Avanti series is the most customizable of the options, with modular cabinets that allow you to create configurations of watches, pens, atomic clocks, jewelry, and coins. These collections are supplemented with an Artisan collection featuring cases styled after internationally know artists, including Dali Birth of the New Man.

Orbita has expanded from their namesake watch winders into watch safes, storage cases, and elegant flashlights. The safe collection includes a solid steel wall safe for six or nine watches with a cushioned suede interior. The storage cases provide a safe and stylish way to transport up to sixteen watches. Orbita’s LED flashlights are available in exotic woods as well as carbon fiber and stainless steel and offer six different light settings. Each flashlight is less than five inches long, making them extremely portable. Orbita is currently the world’s largest producer of fine watch winders and has now used its patented technology to branch into several aspects of luxury watches and accessories.
