Swiss Kubik watch winders: Starterbox vs. Masterbox
Swiss Kubik, a renowned Swiss manufacturer, has made a name for itself with the production of watch winders that impress not only with their precision and quality, but also with their innovative design. This article focuses on the two product lines from Swiss Kubik: the Starterbox for beginners and the Masterbox for the premium class. The two series offer different functionalities and materials to meet the different needs of watch enthusiasts.
Swiss Kubik Starterbox
Entry-level class with solid performance
The Starterbox series from Swiss Kubik is specially designed for beginners who value reliable basic technology without having to dig deep into their pockets
Material
The watch winders are made of high-quality plastic and are a compact solution for the safe storage of automatic watches.
Dimensions
Thanks to the outstandingly compact dimensions of 11.2 x 11.2 x 11.2 cm, the movers can be stored conveniently and effortlessly in all your favourite places.
Power supply
The watch winders are equipped with a battery-only power supply, which is powered by two LR14 batteries and guarantees an impressive running time of around 2-3 years.
Technology
A special feature is the fixed stop position of the clock in the mover at 12 o'clock during rest periods, which provides an appealing image. With a fixed alternating direction of rotation that performs 1800 revolutions per day (900 right and 900 left), the starter boxes are a prime example of Swiss Kubik's commitment to quality and user-friendliness. The absence of customisable programming settings is particularly appealing to those who prefer uncomplicated handling.
Swiss Kubik Masterbox
Premium class for the discerning watch enthusiast
The Masterbox series represents the premium class of Swiss Kubik watch winders.
Material
The cases of these elegant watch winders are made of anodised and brushed aluminium and are available in numerous colour and design variants. Whether wrapped in fine leather or high-quality velour, hand-painted (Movement) or with spikes, there is an ideal winder for every style and taste.
Dimensions
Thanks to the outstandingly compact dimensions of 10 x 10 x 10 cm, the movers can be stored conveniently and effortlessly in all your favourite places. Especially in the safe or simply on the bedside table, they do their job silently.
App control
A major difference to the starter box is the individual programming via Bluetooth app or PC software, which allows the direction of rotation and number of revolutions per day (300-3000, customisable in steps of 20) to be adjusted precisely to the movement in question. This flexibility in setting guarantees optimum storage and care of the watch.
Power supply
The master boxes can also be used with both battery and mains operation, which ensures a continuous power supply. As with the starter box, the 12 o'clock stop position ensures a particularly attractive presentation of the automatic watches in the watch winder during rest periods.
Accessories
An optional protective plexiglass disc with swivel hinges is available for the Swiss Kubik Masterboxes. This practical addition offers additional protection against dust and damage without obscuring the view of the watch. The protective disc can be opened and closed easily thanks to the swivel hinges, allowing quick access to the watch without compromising on security and elegance.
Watch holder
Owners of both series with narrow wrists have also been catered for, as the winders can be retrofitted with smaller watch holder.
Swiss Kubik special editions
Discover the fascinating world of exclusivity with the Swiss Kubik special editions. These watch winders skilfully combine aluminium with red or black leather and the unique brass skull design. They are far more than mere accessories; rather, they represent a statement of style and individuality. Each special edition epitomises the result of precise craftsmanship and a relentless pursuit of perfection. They are created to delight even the most discerning collectors.
Conclusion: Swiss Kubik watch winders for every requirement
Both series from Swiss Kubik - the Starterbox and the Masterbox - offer very good solutions for the storage and care of automatic watches. For watch enthusiasts looking for a simple but high-quality solution, the Starterboxes are an excellent choice. They offer solid functionality at an attractive price. The master boxes, on the other hand, are designed for those who value an extended range of functions and high-quality materials. The ability to customise the movement settings in small steps makes the Masterbox the ideal choice for discerning watch collectors who want to take the best possible care of their watches.
Depending on individual requirements and the available budget, Swiss Kubik offers the right solution for every watch enthusiast.
