Hey all,

Has anyone had any experiences, good or bad, with the winders from Brookstone?

Merry Christmas!

I just bought this one I will let you know how it goes after it gets used for a few weeks...I can say though that overall appearance is awesome!!!

The only thing I had to do to accomodate for larger watches especially my 6.75 was turn the pillows in the cups the other direction which actually makes the watches tighter on the pillows and the pillows tighter in the cups

Thinking of buyIng a Brookstone Quad watch winder. How has yours held up? Are the motors still quiet?

I just got the quad winder a few weeks ago and it is awesome. It is dead silent. I also found that I had to use the pillows length-wise in order to get the watch to stay on the pillow. But the pillow design is actually pretty versatile because my wife's watches fit perfectly onto the pillows width-wise. So it fits us both quite well. There is also plenty of room for my Bentleys.

I believe that the winder is actually made by the same company as this one:

and also these:

Both are significantly more expensive than Brookstone.

As long as the winder doesn't break or start making noise, I am totally satisfied. I'll probably get another one.
