This is a quiet, well-made automatic watch winder in a beautiful, lacquered wood cabinet. It is easy to use and I am very happy with this product. It is a great find and although I was a little skeptical about how reliable it might be, I am not at all disappointed. It requires a nearby electrical outlet so you can plug it in with the included AC cord. It is absolutely silent, even when rotating the watches. If you are as sick and tired as me of having to reset your automatic watch(es) whenever you feel like wearing it, get this product! You won't stash your automatic watch away in a draw anymore.
