Oil Baron // Ripple Effect

The chrome base of this Oil Baron model ripples out from the oil barrel, creating a beautiful and timeless reflection of the watch winder itself. This is a limited edition piece with a black, anodized, aluminum, matte finish mechanism and a mirror finish, chrome-plated, aluminum base.

Rate of Rotation:
There are 24 pre-programmed, adjustable modes. The knob located at the base of the watch winder is used to select a required program. The numbers in the small window at the base show the current rotation rate in Hundred-Turns-per-Day (HTpD). The maximum HTpD is 16, or 1,600 turns-per-day. The typical HTpD setting is between 9 and 11 Continuous ("C") mode is only recommended for display purposes.

Direction of Rotation:
There are two preprogrammed modes: alternate direction of rotation (green LED) and single direction of rotation (amber LED). The mode can be selected by toggling the switch at the base of the watch winder, with the cycle repeating according to the chosen HTpD rate.

Alternate Direction:
Alternate direction of rotation, which rotates the watches in one direction for 3 minutes, rests, and then rotates the watches in the opposite direction for 3 minutes, is the recommended mode because it evenly distributes wear of the watch mechanism.

Single Direction:
Single direction of rotation rotates the watches in one direction for six minutes, rests, and then rotates the watches in the same direction for another six minutes. Some brands are wound by rotation in one direction only. Consulting with the manufacturer of your watch before choosing direction of rotation.
