My idea is to mount my watches on a large rotating circular holder, and mount it to a constant-velocity motor (such as from a cheap old turntable) using a belt-drive arrangement that will provide similar rotation speeds to a commercial watch winder. Hence, I'm thinking about making my own watch winder. Plus, I keep reading about winders that stop working after a few months of use. I'd want at least a two-watch winder (or two singles), so I'm looking at close to 100 quid for a device that basically rotates slowly for a few hours before stopping. Watch winders seem pretty pricey, even the inexpensive ones cost at least 40 quid for a single winder that can be switched between rotations in either direction, and go up from there. I've been looking at watch winders for a little while now - I'm getting to the point now where I struggle to keep my automatics running purely by means of my daily rotation.
