This is quite rightly a very popular choice for thread of the year, such a talented chap!

I am convinced next year it's going to be something awesome like a working model of the back to the future delorean complete with a mr fusion device!

Well done and what an excellent read! I doth my cap to you sir, just incredible!

He's already said he's thinking of building an in-house movement with a twist. :shock:

When I see stuff like this it it only re-affirms just how un-clever I really am.

Well done indeed, it looks totally amazing.

I think Terminator 2 and Kraftwerk both leapt to mind when I saw it.

Fantastico !!!

Thanks all,
The problem is now a majority of my watch collection is sold or up for auction. I'll only have two autos left by next week, a Blancpain and a RGM. The winder will only be half full.
I suppose I'll have to look into getting the Journe Octa Lune and the Lange Dual Time to get it back up to four!

Great job! Thank you for sharing. You have inspired me to build my own watch winder as well.

Holy cow, saw the thread title and was expecting to find a make shift budget solution of a watch winder that I could copy myself. How wrong I was :lol:

Absolute genius! I could only dream of having that sort of talent and resources, well done! :thumbup:
