Back during my watch specialist days at Piaget, it would literally take an hour or more to wind up all the watches in the cases every few days – so perhaps I have a bit of PTSD in this regard. While we may romanticise the ritual of winding up a watch each morning, in a world where people own multiple pieces it is not always feasible in our busy lives to keep all of our watches fully wound. But, for others, especially those with high-complication watches like a perpetual calendar that can be an absolute pain to have to set manually, watch winders are absolute live savers. Some believe that winders can be more harmful then helpful, creating constant unnecessary wear on the movement’s automatic winding system. Now I will not pretend that everyone considers a watch winder in any form a must-have accessory, it is a debated topic amongst watch enthusiasts. I could only dream of vacationing for such a duration, so I think it is safe to say that the power reserve of this winder is more than enough.

Impressively, the Wolf Rocket Travel Winder, after a full eight hour charge, has a battery life of 45 days. Now, of course a travel winder must take into consideration that while in transit, or stored away in a safe, it will not be able to be plugged into an electrical outlet. Rotation Program Specificationĩ00 Bi-direction (i.e 900 Clockwise + 900 Counter-clockwise ) Nonetheless, these features will best ensure the winder does not cause any unnecessary stress to the automatic winding system of the watch. You cannot set the winder to a specific number within a TPD (turns per day) range as you can with some of WOLF’s other winders, instead the Rocket has a fixed 900 TPD program that includes pre-programmed pause and sleep phases.
In line with their previous winders, the Rocket Travel Winder, thanks to the micro sensors within the main unit, is able to precisely count the number of turns per day (something other watch winders are only able to estimate at best). While smaller in stature, the WOLF Rocket Travel Winder is still equipped with many of the manufacture’s patented technologies and systems. The rocket is effectively comprised of four sections: the front cover (to protect the watch inside), the cuff (the cushion on which your watch rests), the drum (which holds the cushion in place during rotations), and the main unit which houses the Micro Gearbox that holds the nylon driving gears and micro sensors. In layman’s terms, its dimensions will safely accommodate second home or hotel room safes with ease. So, just how compact is the WOLF Rocket Travel Watch Winder? It clocks in at 94mm (L) x 157.8mm (W) x 88mm (H) or, for my fellow Americans, 3.62″ (L) x 6.37″ (W) x 3.37″ (H). The best watch winders will also have a variety of modes and settings, such as multiple rotation settings and a variety of turns per day settings.
