Winding Up
By James Henderson
JUVO LUXURY
Are watch winders useful? Of course! But all too
often the design aesthetic has been reminiscent of the
Trabant. You look at it and realize that yes, it is an auto-
mobile (of sorts), but you would probably be just as
happy not to have to drive it. Many collectors would
like to have a watch winder, but when examining the
options, they have been put off either by price or by the
actual appearance of the winder.
JUVO has addressed this with a series of watch
winders that are very good looking. But beyond the
look of the winder itself, JUVO has really considered one
thing that most of the other winder manufacturers have
not – the overwhelming desire for a watch collector to
be able to admire the watches in the winder. To that
end, the JUVO winders have been designed to not only
safely wind your favorite watches, but to house them
in an environment that allows you to enjoy looking
at them as they are winding. But JUVO went one step
further, equipping its winders with a lighting system
that literally puts a soft spotlight on your watches as
they wind.
In the words of JUVO co-founder, Bhanu Chopra:
“I have all these great watches, but I rarely get to display
them. To me, it’s like keeping the Crown Jewels of
England out of sight where no one can enjoy them.”
The design of these winders is reminiscent of what
stereo components used to offer – amazing high fidelity
sound capabilities encased in a beautiful package that
looks as good as the furniture that surrounds it. Func-
tion and form!
JUVO winders are available in four different configu-
rations to accommodate 3, 4, 6 or 8 watches.
