Although I now keep my children a snob - but I have to live well. The watch winder certainly looks classy and works (for 3 weeks) easily in continuous operation. The running noise is very quiet - but not inaudible. Unfortunately, the motion programs are for an apparently my watches not sufficient to keep the power reserve for a continuous operation up and running due to the programmed breaks - so they will stop every now and again. Well - readjustment in watches is indeed quite manageable.
