PeneloP's watchwinding

January 2001




Created by a small Swiss corporation and also manufactured in a Swiss workshop, PeneloP was created with the aim to satisfy the demanding lovers of beautiful watches equipped with automatic movements. PeneloP not only winds up automatic watches when they are not being worn but also highlights their beauty in an original way. This device is particularly useful for complicated watches with perpetual calendar, moon phases etc.

PeneloP is the result of an extensive technical research and design study. This watch winder fills a gap in the range of this type of products and positions itself between the low-or middle-range units and the really luxurious models.

It is distinguished from competition by its double axis which can support up to four watches, making it possible to simultaneously wind up single-direction rotation movements to the left or to the right.

The construction uses noble and modern materials. The combination of wood, steel and aluminium provides a touch of warmth but also reminds the user of the complex technology of the art of watchmaking.

Like an automatic watch movement, the mechanical part of PeneloP is sturdy, silent and extremely precise.
When the device is being handled, a frictional system prevents the motor from being forced. A microcontroller-driven timer turns the device on during 0.5, 1 or 1.5 hour every 24 hours, which provides a perfect winding up of the watches.

There is however no need for programming. A single button allows to choose between the timer, stop, and continuous modes, without modifying the hour when the device must be switched on. To set the hour of the daily start, just turn the system on at the desired moment.

PeneloP is available in three colours: bronze, blue and red
