Independently wind each of up to four automatic watches with the latest Steinhausen winder, the Tropez. Now you have the choice of winding one, two, three, or four of your finest automatic timepieces at once or storing up to seven watches at any given time. Remember that today's most extravagant timepieces come equipped with the world's most advanced automatic, perpetual movement, meaning they never need batteries and never need to be wound by hand. They're powered by the kinetic movement of your body when you wear them. But if you don't wear them, they need to be wound. Like all of the other winders in the fine Steinhausen collection, this one is handcrafted from rich oak hardwood veneer and covered with eight layers of high-gloss piano lacquer. Then each layer of lacquer is allowed to cure for three days before being sanded and polished by hand. And like other fine Steinhausen products, the Tropez Winder uses silent motors with timers and directional controls. But unique to the Tropez Winder is your choice of how many watches you want to wind. You can wind one and store up to six, three in winding paces and three display places. The winders are in the four corners. There is one display case in the middle of the four winders, plus two more in the upper corners of the octagonal shape. This Steinhausen Tropez Winder will keep your finest automatic timepieces wound independently while displaying them with the utmost dignity. Available in either burlwood or cherrywood. Your finest automatic watches never go out of style. Keep them constantly wound and ready for use with the Steinhausen Tropez Winder.

Steinhausen collectors have spoken. Over the years, collectors of Steinhausen automatic timepieces have requested a Quad Automatic Watch Winder box crafted of luxurious burl-wood. After more than 2 years in development, the wait is finally over. Hundreds of prototypes fell by the wayside until this incredible design emerged. With subtle bowed sides made of polished burl-wood, craftsmen then applied 18 layers of high gloss piano finish. The result is a mirror finish capable of reflecting your image. The interior is no less impeccable with simulated soft cream calf hide lining. The four watch pedestals rotate inside burl-wood rings. A Lucite window in the lid allows for a wide dust free viewing area. Two additional compartments have been built into the front of the case with viewing windows. The motors run silently as they keep four of your finest automatic timepieces constantly wound and ready at a moment's notice. The burl-wood watch winder case you've been waiting for is finally here.
