The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Scatola del Tempo would get my vote.

Very nice piece of craftsmanship it is. Which would explain why it is so pricey.

But for $60, I'm scared it falls into the "cheap" bracket and won't do my Breitling justice.

It's Chinese with plastic gears. Probably quiet for a couple of weeks, functional for a couple of months and then a watch box.

I use a brookstone dual winder, with separate motor for each head. You can also buy single use and a quad winder, again with separate motors for each head. The dual winder unit cost $99 from memory and is very good; I've had it for at least 6 months with no issues and most importantly it's quiet. There is a two year warranty also for peace of mind.

I will say though that the settings are not ideal i.e. you can't put it on for 14 hours and then rest for 10, however that problem is easily solved with a light timer, which is cheap and effective.

This is exactly what I do. I have both the dual and the quad winders from Brookstone. I have had them for close to 2 years, and they run just as quiet and smooth as the day I picked them up. Sergio gave me the tip on the light timer which solves the lack of resting periods.

All in all I am very happy with it given that I was out of pocked less than $400 for 2 winders that house 6 watches total.

I'm a fan of the modular system from Wolf Designs. They are quiet, solid and provide a broad range of programs for winding. And the best part is that you can add winders as your collection grows. Up to 12 can run on a single plug. The only downside I see so far is that a bunch of these take more space than one multi-watch winder. Topper Jewelers sells a version of this winder for $199 and sometimes has coupon codes.
