12 Watch Winder

I received this winder only about a month ago, so I cannot yet comment on long-term durability. That limitation aside, I am very happy with the product.

I purchased it to replace multiple Orbita winders, which themselves were beautiful pieces of wood furniture but no longer provided enough capacity as my watch collection grew. While my Orbita winders were quiet and allowed individual programming of each head, this 24-head Barrington winder is at an even higher level.

I keep the winder in our bedroom, so quiet operation is crucial. With the door open, you can very faintly hear a winding head turning, but with the door closed the unit is virtually silent, even when multiple heads are operating. Even more helpful is that the winders cycle for only 12 hours each day, followed by 12 hours off. I simply turned the unit on in the morning, so the daily cycles are completed before we go to sleep.

Programming each head is straightforward, either from the console or with the remote control. The fingerprint lock works flawlessly, was easy to set up, and provides a useful additional level of security. The case itself is beautiful and feels exceptionally well made, with a piano-black exterior and carbon-black interior. At approximately 40 pounds, it has a substantial, solid, and very well-constructed feel.

The winder is expensive, but in my opinion appears comparable in quality while costing less than similar-capacity winders from other premier brands such as Orbita, which I have previously owned, and Wolf.

The individual watch holders took a little getting used to compared with the simple cushions in my previous winders, but they hold the watches securely, position them at an appropriate angle, and are readily adjustable for different watch sizes. I do find myself being careful with the hard plastic rims of the holders when placing or removing a gold watch because of a theoretical concern about scratching the watch surface. I should emphasize, however, that I have not actually experienced any scratches.

Customer service has been excellent. Before placing the order, I called with several questions and immediately reached a knowledgeable representative—without navigating a painful voicemail tree—who patiently answered everything I wanted to know and gave me the confidence to spend a substantial amount on the unit.

The winder arrived in the United States from the UK within a week. It was extraordinarily well packed, in a heavily padded box inside a custom wooden shipping crate, and arrived without a scratch or other damage. One winding head initially operated intermittently. I called the company and a representative walked me through the very simple process of opening the back and tightening a wire connection that apparently had loosened during shipping. An unexpected benefit was seeing the mechanism inside the cabinet: it was high quality, neatly organized, and modular, and appeared specifically designed to allow an owner to replace an individual winding head easily should that ever become necessary.

I have only two minor criticisms or suggestions for improvement.

The more important is that the front glass is highly reflective. With lights or windows in the room, reflections can make it surprisingly difficult to see the watches clearly. For a display winder of this quality and price, I think anti-reflective or “museum” glass would be a worthwhile improvement. I am currently looking into applying a third-party anti-reflective film to the existing glass.

My second criticism is purely aesthetic—but aesthetics are, after all, part of the reason for buying a display winder rather than simply keeping watches in winders inside a closed safe. The silver rings surrounding each winding head compete visually with the watches themselves. I would prefer a flat-black surround, as used by some other luxury winder manufacturers, which allows the watches to stand out more prominently.

These are relatively minor criticisms and do not detract from my overall satisfaction. Based on my experience during the first month, the Barrington 24-watch winder combines excellent build quality, exceptionally quiet operation, flexible individual programming, thoughtful design, and outstanding customer service. I am very pleased with the purchase.

I'm really imporessed with this winder. Even though I didn't initially receive the cushion for my winder, I was impressed with the level of customer service. The shipping was extremely fast, and the whole experience was almost effortless. I will definitely be buying another winder soon.

I'm very satisfied with the Barrington 6 watch winder. It's solidly made, displays my watches attractively, locks securely by fingerprint, and was easy to set up! I needed small watch cushions and they sent those out right away. I never get tired of looking at how good my watches look in the Barrington winder!

I have 2 of the single winders and if i get another mechanical watch will buy a third. They are completely quiet and run flawlessly. The look is perfect for this type of kit. Best part is the customer service. Lisa helped me get just what I wanted in a short amount of time.

Very nice watch winder, very quiet works great.
But the plastic lens cover that goes over the watch has a flaw
and center, comes with a little dot that obstructs the view of the watch.

Love it , looks stunning and does the job, very quiet. Customer service was very good and quick to respond when I asked some questions. Will buy again when I expand watch collection

1). The on/off switch should have an led led when on
2). No ambient backlight
3). Cheap plastic circular cover, should have been a glass dome, or had a hinged class cover
Not satisfied and thinking of returning it

Great watch winder. I now have two. They work flawlessly.

Great single watch winder and whisper quiet, plenty of setting to suit all makes and TPD modes. Well built and the added dust cover is a nice touch.

The innovation is obvious and the engineering is high quality alongside modern colours and great customer service. I will be recommending to all my friends who need a brilliant winder.

I purchased this machine after a great deal of research into winders. I like the fact that they are a UK based company, with the added attraction of being close to home. It works like a dream and the setting up couldn't be simpler,,
One is hardly aware of the machine winding due to the almost silent mechanism. Highly recommended.

My biggest concern when purchasing was what quality the foam cushion was going to be. Figured it would be just some basic foam padding. It is actually really nice, pliable, yet firm and sturdy. Superb quality, just like everything else Barrington makes. Currently using to make swapping watches in the winder easier until I can grab another single winder (also fantastic quality). Holding out to see if there are any "Black Friday" deals to snag a couple more single winders for myself and for gifts.

I started collecting mechanical watches this year and now have six Barrington winders to hold my collection. The winders look great and are super-quiet. I also love all the different colors options. Barrington has been great to do business with. My winders have come in quickly and customer service is great. Would highly recommend!

I have a two watch winder after researching the market Barrington came out as the best value with solid reviews. The winder was here very quickly after ordering. It is extremely well made the materials and build quality are excellent. The fingerprint access is a very practical solution to prevent casual opening - especially by the little ones ! It performs flawlessly I have it in the bedroom and it is silent. Easy to setup the options are presented in a straightforward interface. Overall a lovely home for my watches when I’m not wearing them.

A few weeks ago, I purchased a two-watch winder from Barrington. I'm delighted with the product quality and functionalities, as they work flawlessly so far. Besides the product quality, I would like to share my outstanding experiences with Barrington, particularly regarding their smooth and fast delivery, as well as their excellent post-purchase customer service. When I asked for additional, smaller cushions that would fit my watch bracelets and was ready to pay for them, I received them free of charge without needing to make any further requests from my side. There were no questions asked, no hesitations whatsoever. One day, I received the additional pieces without needing to pay for them or the shipment. I must say, I was impressed by such exemplary customer service. To wrap up, I highly recommend both Barrington watch winders and their outstanding, customer satisfaction-oriented service. Now, I'm going to buy the second watch winder from Barrington, as my experiences with their professional support have exceeded my expectations. Well done, Barrington!

First ordering process is as easy as it gets. An issue arrows when my shipment arrived at its US port with our new administration tariff policies. The delivery company would not deliver until I paid the fees. I did pay it and then emailed Barrington customer service about my surprise fees. They were thankful for me informing them and together we worked an agreeable solution which shows how much they really care about their customers!

The single winder is now up and running perfectly with my 40 year old classic Rolex DateJust. I use the watch only on special occasions and would manually wind it daily. I now no longer worry about the crown breaking with overuse! Thanks Barrington for such a great product!

Works perfect. Love the way it smells when open it to don the wrist candy. Quiet. Easy to set up. Please to do business with these guys. And. London to Oklahoma in less than 72 hours. Can’t rave enough. Love my colored single winders too

Silent. Colorful. Stackable. Connectable. Winds both ways or one way. I like. Wife likes. Will get a new one everytime I get a new watch. Great customer service too. Took like three days to get in middle of USA from England. I recommend.

Love it

I love the colors and the ability to stack them with other winders. I like that if the motor dies, you can replace it yourself. Simple, elegant, reliable.

The winder is silent and has the settings recommended by my watch manufacturer.

Je n’ai pas aimé le faite de devoir payer 45 Fr. de droits de douane. L’appareil en lui-même est parfait.
