A beautiful timepiece is something to be cherished and maintained for its smooth operation. If you own an automatic watch, you understand the importance of regular maintenance to keep your valuable timepiece running smoothly. An essential tool for caring for your watch is an automatic watch winder, such as the Mozsly Watch Winder.

Do you want to ensure that your elegant watch remains accurate and lasts a lifetime? It all comes down to using and setting up the watch winder correctly to achieve flawless performance. In this blog post, we will provide expert guidance on how to use and set up a Mozsly watch winder like a professional. We will also share valuable maintenance tips to help your cherished timepieces retain their beauty and functionality for years to come.

What is a Mozsly Watch Winder?

The Mozsly Watch Winder is a high-quality accessory designed to maintain the optimal condition of automatic watches when they are not being worn. It is a specialized device that replicates the natural movement of the wrist, ensuring the proper functioning of the watch’s internal mechanism. The watch winder employs a motor to rotate the watch in different directions and intervals, preventing it from losing power and stopping. This helps preserve the accuracy of the watch and eliminates the need for manual adjustments of the time and date when wearing it again.

Mozsly Watch Winders are renowned for their exceptional craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail. They are meticulously crafted using premium materials, resulting in a sleek and elegant design that adds sophistication to any watch collection. With a Mozsly Watch Winder, watch enthusiasts can ensure that their timepieces are always ready to wear, eliminating the inconvenience of manual winding or resetting.

How to Properly Install the Mozsly Watch Winder?

Step 1: Prepare your Mozsly Watch Winder

Make sure the watch winder is clean and free from dust or debris. Place it on a flat and stable surface, away from direct sunlight or high humidity. Carefully unpack the watch winder and gather all accessories, such as the power adapter and watch pillow.

Step 2: Detach the Watch Pillow from the Winder Holder

Squeeze the pillow and place your automatic watch on it, ensuring that the watch’s face is facing outward. Make sure the strap or bracelet securely wraps around the pillow’s cushion. Close any clasps or buckles to ensure a snug fit for each watch.

Step 3: Install the Watch Pillow onto the Holders

The watch holders are designed to securely hold your watches during winding. Insert each holder into the designated slots on the interior of the winder. Gently push them until they click into place. Arrange the holders based on the size and weight of your watches to achieve proper winding balance.

Step 4: Power up the Mozsly Watch Winder

Connect the provided power adapter to your Mozsly Watch Winder and plug it into a suitable electrical outlet.

NOTE: You can choose either an AC power supply or an AA battery power supply. If using AA batteries, unplug the AC power cord. If using AC power, remove the batteries.

Step 5: Select the Appropriate Winding Settings

The Mozsly Watch Winder offers four winding settings to accommodate different watch brands. Refer to your watch’s user manual to determine the recommended Turns Per Day (TPD) and winding direction. Adjust the TPD and select the winding direction (clockwise, counterclockwise, or bi-directional) using the settings on the Mozsly watch winder.(If you still don’t know, 650 TPD is generally a safe bet)

Step 6: Activate Your Mozsly Watch Winder

Once you have set your desired winding preferences, press the start button on the watch winder to initiate the winding process. Your Mozsly Watch Winder will now automatically wind your watches according to the pre-set settings.

Winding Program Selection

In recognition of the growing use of watch winders to maintain automatic timepieces, some watch manufacturers are beginning to publish data on the winding requirements of their watches as a convenience to their customers.
About eighty-five percent (85%) of all fine automatic watches wind bi-directional and generally require between 650 and 900 Turns Per Day (TPD) whether worn on your wrist or while running on your watch winder. That is the best mode for most automatic watches. Bidirectional is the most efficient mode of winding operation. Of the remaining fifteen percent of watches are winding clockwise, and the remaining five percent of watches are winding counter-clockwise only.

NOTE: The TPD and steering required for each watch are different. You can visit the website of the movement manufacturer and check the winding direction and the optimum “TPD”(Turns Per Day) of your particular caliber of movement.

NOTE: When inserting and removing the wristwatch, please ensure the electrical power is off, as it may cause malfunction. Please use the AC adapter supplied with the product.

The Settings of the MOZSLY Watch Winder

Depending on your TPD setting, your watch winder will rest for a prescribed number of minutes between turns. In general, most winders will turn for anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute and then stop. Exactly how long the winder rests is determined by the TPD setting. For example, your watch might need to wind 10 times in 30 seconds. If it needs 650 TPD to function properly, the automatic winder would need to turn on 65 times per day. Since there are 1440 minutes in a day, you would divide 1440 by 65 and arrive at 22. That means the automatic winder will go through its full cycle every 22 minutes.

Another variable is the direction of the turns your watch winder makes. These can be clockwise only, counter clockwise only and bi-directional. Again, your manufacturer’s specifications will be your most accurate guide as to what your timepiece responds to best. If you have several automatic watches and have purchased a winder that accommodates two or four timepieces simultaneously, it probably also contains an “auto-alternating” function that enables the mechanism to rotate in both directions automatically.

If you do not have access to your watch’s user guide for whatever reason or if you would just like to experiment, here are some more detailed tips that will help you set up your timepiece with your new automatic watch winder:

  1. Because your winder will not wind a watch that has totally stopped, begin by manually winding your watch by turning the crown 20 to 30 times.
  2. Carefully place your watch in the winder, making sure that it is fully seated in the holder. Then adjust TPD to its lowest setting and select bi-directional rotation mode.
  3. Turn the winder on. Over the next 48 hours or so, periodically check to see if the watch is still keeping accurate time. In general, automatics have approximately 40 hours of reserve from the time they have been wound. If the time is still correct after two days, this is the right setting for you and you don’t need to do any more experimenting.
  4. However, if the time is wrong, increase to the next TPD setting and repeat the above process.
  5. If the time is correct after two days, you have found the right setting.
  6. If the time is wrong, set the winder to rotate clockwise only and repeat the procedure.
  7. If the time is still correct after two days, this is your proper setting.
  8. If the time is incorrect, set it to rotate counter clockwise only and repeat the procedure.

Maintenance and care for your Mozsly Watch Winder

Does a watch winder need maintenance too? Like most automated products, watch winders require maintenance to ensure their longevity and proper functioning. The motor and gearbox contain multiple moving parts that must work together harmoniously. It is important to correctly adjust the motor to the gearbox.

I will show you how to take care of your rotating watch winder box so it can last longer and protect your watches!

I. Clean Your Rotating Watch Winder Box Regularly

  1. Remove the watch: Before cleaning the watch winder, take out any watches stored inside.
  2. Dust the exterior: Use a soft brush or microfiber cloth to gently wipe away dust from the external surfaces.
  3. Clean moving parts: Remove any lint or debris from the gears, motors, and moving components using a brush or cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol. Ensure that all parts are free from dirt.
  4. Wipe down interior surfaces: Use a lint-free cloth dampened with warm water (mixed with mild soap if necessary) to clean both the resting area for watches and other interior sections.
  5. Dry thoroughly: Ensure that all parts of the watch winder are completely dry before reassembling and placing the watch back inside.

II. Check the Content of Your Rotating Watch Winder Box Regularly

  1. Inspect for signs of wear or warping: Thoroughly examine every crevice, including the leather covering, motor housing, and winding cups.
  2. Monitor power supply: Check cords and adapters used with your watch winder for any signs of damage or wear. Replace them as necessary.
  3. Assess performance: Observe your watch winder’s performance level when it is in use, paying attention to the sound emitted and its rotation.
  4. Consult the manufacturer: If you notice any unusual changes or issues with your watch winder box, contact Mozsly customer support for assistance.

III. Keep Your Watch Away from Potential Threats

  1. Avoid direct sunlight: Excessive sunlight can damage both your watch and the winder box. Store it in a cool, shaded area.
  2. Control humidity levels: Extreme humidity or damp environments can lead to internal corrosion or mold growth. Always store your Mozsly watch winder in a dry place with optimal humidity levels.
  3. Keep away from extreme temperatures: Sudden or extreme temperature fluctuations can affect your watch’s functioning and cause inaccurate timekeeping.
  4. Prevent magnetism dangers: Keep magnets or magnetic devices away from your Mozsly watch winder, as they can interfere with its timekeeping accuracy or even damage the mechanics of the watches it stores.

Finally, periodically check the condition of your watches as well, as they may require servicing or cleaning. Inspect their clasps, straps, and crowns for any signs of wear or damage, ensuring that everything is in proper working order.

In conclusion
