Time Mover® Functionality  — BUBEN&ZORWEG

Time Mover® Functionality

B&Z watch winders with Time Mover® Technology perfectly recreate the movements of a luxury watch worn on the wrist, but with less stress, because there are no external influences such as shocks and moisture. The refined movement cycles of the innovative electronic control of the Time Mover® modules ensure that the calibre is always in the optimal state between full winding and relaxation. To achieve this, the Time Mover® Technology incorporates programmed rest phases which mimic human movement, as if the owner was actually wearing their watch. This sophisticated approach ensures that each timepiece is not only displayed in unparalleled elegance but is also maintained in perfect working order, reflecting the essence of luxury and care in every detail.
