Sparta Watch Winders by Orbita Corporation: Scroll down to see all winder models. Click picture to learn more about a winder.
A unique winder for mechanical watches that is both affordable and amazing. The Sparta was originally designed as a Spartan, inexpensive watchwinder, however the folks at Orbita soon realized they had revolutionized the Battery Powered Winder! With the Patentented RotoWind System, Sparta Winders are changing the Industry and making winders much easier to use! Prior to the invention of the RotoWind system, to wind a variety of different watches you would have to memorize an elaborate set of settings for each watch, not so with the Sparta System! Choose free-standing open models or several models enclosed in attractive wood cases. Click image for enlarged view and further details.

Sparta is a division of Orbita, but this winder is so revolutionary (no pun intended) Orbita should have spun it off as a company on its own!
Unlike other watch-winders which rotate a watch in order to wind it, the unique SPARTA 1 watchwinder gently swings the watch instead. Every 10 minutes (standard program) or every 15 minutes (extended program), the internal control micro-processor signals the drive motor to make a single turn, causing the watch to swing back and forth for several oscillations just as it would if it were being worn on the wrist.
The 15 minute program allows many watches that wind in both directions to remain fully wound while on the winder and at the same time provides increased battery life by as much as 35%.
The oscillating winding action of the SPARTA 2 watch winder is totally self-regulating and there is absolutely no chance of damaging an expensive watch by over-winding. A semi-circular rotor, attached to the back of the mounting cup, is the "heart" of the patented ROTORWIND® system (click here for details). Made from a dense, non-magnetic iron material, it is supported by two free-turning precision ball bearings, thus enabling the heavy mass of the rotor to produce the "back and forth" motion when the cup is raised and then released from the 12 o'clock position.
For details of the patent governing the Rotorwind system click here (Patent No. 6,543,929) . International patents for this unique design are pending.

I have based my business and pricing practices on a trivial moment in my life which stuck with me. I had just graduated from college and I was shopping for my first real world suit. I was in the dressing room in the Young Men's Shop in Indiana Pennsylvania, and looking at the price tag of an Italian suit, thinking it was way over priced. I looked up and read a yellowing tag taped in the dressing room, it read.
"There is scarcely anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse, and sell a little more cheaply. The person who buys on price alone is this man's lawful prey."John Ruskin (1819 - 1900) Economist...I bought the suit. Since then I have maintained that simple guiding philosophy and it has served me well. I strive to deliver value, not simply low prices.
