Single watchwinder more expensive than a platinum DD

Last Friday I went to Scatola del Tempo near by Como lake, to pick up my watch winder.
And the CEO of Scatola del Tempo showed me a very special watch winder,
set with 1563 Top Wesselton WS diamonds, 89,9 carats.
Cost? 400.000 USD

I would pay someone to sit in my closet and handwind my watches than spend the money on that particular winder

Not with 89.9 carats, I'd have to insist on an even 90.

Not for me.

I have seen Scatola del Tempo watch boxes and winders, they are not cheap but fabulous quality

I'm afraid most of us on here would go nuts due to the fraction of a carat. This place has some amazing OCD....me included.

I don't I use a winder. When I take my watch off I attach it to my dog's collar. My dog on the other hand keeps his Rolex on a winder.

Nor I. I only buy and use quad winders for all my watches. Now if they made that in a quad winder with 90 carets each, I would consider it.

No one said you have to wear one watch per wrist

Amazing!

Folks can mock that all they want but if it was made, it's because someone will eventually buy it.
