Wow. The execution (and documentation thereof) is so perfect it seems surreal. Excellent work.

So you know... instructables tried to hold competition on this subject and this far & away better than any of the entries provided.

I actually got inspired by this post too. I got the idea to make an Arduino watch winder and when I googled it this came up.

The OPs build is very, very impressive. I wish I had all the same tools at my disposal as the OP...

Anyway, this is my version, just finished!

Just a humble suggestion - a glass case to cover your creation would complete it :)

@28800bph Do you have the eagle files for the boards, and maybe a schematic? And possibly the sketch for the mega and the uno? I'd like to build this but with some modifications. If you have the laser cut files also, I think that I could print them out on my printer. I think that putting this in a wood box would be awesome. I'm guessing that a nema-17 motor will work.

I love how this thread resurfaces periodically. It's so great. Luc, your version is very nice indeed. Congrats on getting it built.

Well, everyone needs a watch winder and when you get people who appreciate micromechanics, you will also get people who enjoy microcomputers which is now a popular diy field.

Really I just like to build crap and I need a watch winder. Seems like a double whammy. Wife will hate me for locking myself in my man cave for a few weeks to build it, but that happens anyway.

I've seen a few people with arduino based winders and we should have one of them post the build with the specs and sketches on the interwebs.

Very well done in producing something stunning which I for one would prefer to see in my office.

How did i miss this :shock:

As a retired Engineering Company Director, i can fully appreciate the quality of workmanship presented here.

Superb design, beautifully machined and constructed, and the electronics!!!....simply mind blowing.

You Sir are a genius, and unless you are working for an F1 team or the International Space Agency (ISA), ( and sadly not me) your talents are wasted.

Most interesting and compulsive reading for me...in a long time.

Thank you.
