    How about this http://www.doettling.com/en/tabletop-objects/colosimo.html

    Seriously though what are you looking for and how much do you want to spend? It's a bit like asking for a recommendation for a good car or a good watch.

    there are loads of discussions on watch winders if you google it. Watch winders pretty much divide the camp, so check them out and ask yourself why do you need one.

    I have one, and the time keeping on the watches isn't good; presumably because the watches only rotate on one axis. So either way, I've to set the time when I put the watch back on, and I don't believe that the movement is going to seize up if it's left in a box for a while - so for me, it's not worth it.

    I have a longines one. It will alternate the direction it winds in if required. Some watches only wind when rotor goes in one direction, others both so you need to know which. Mine looks nice and takes 2 watches, but is quite noisy, which is the main reason I don't use it. Although on a completely unrelated note, I'm not allowed wear watch at work most days now, which is becoming a huge pain into the ass when I just want to pick up a watch and go.
