ABSTRACT:
A winding apparatus for winding a mechanical watch while the watch is being stored or displayed, preferably comprises a housing, a wrist-sized mandrel whereupon the watch is placed and held in the housing. A grasping assembly of multiple claws grasps the crown of the watch and is driven by an electric motor. The claws rotate the crown of the watch to automatically wind the watch a predetermined amount and at a periodic interval. A control circuit adjusts the frequency at which the watch is wound as well as the length of time the claws are driven by the motor each time the watch is wound.
