Hi Should we still wind the watches that live in a winder box? If I do, can it be overwound? thanks |

A Navi cannot be overwound. But if the winder is correctly set there's no need to wind a watch kept in a winder. That's the point of the winder. |

An automatic Navi cannot be overwound, a manual wind certainly can, although the World is obviously automatic and a winder doesn't apply to manuals (at least not a traditional winder) However, a winder will not wind a watch, it will simply maintain the power reserve in a watch. Therefore a watch should be wound prior to placing it on a winder otherwise the watch will not continue to run. If the watch is placed on the winder immediately after it is taken off then there likely isn't a problem but a few winds before placing it on a winder won't hurt. |

It will wind it, but still not a good idea to rely on it because winder cycles often include periods of inactivity and if one of those coincides with a low power reserve the watch can stop. |

Yeah, hey are rather niche and to be honest I don't see the point. You can also buy tools that are essentially hollow metal tubes that have a button on one end that when pushed causes 3 or 4 thinner pieces of metal to come out of the other end to grip the crown. The tube is then rotated to wind the watch through the crown without actually holding the crown! |
