For several decades, MTE's best-selling model has been the WTS 4.
Its compact size, lightweight, and high-quality workmanship have undoubtedly contributed significantly.
A "3-dimensional" view of the rotating timepieces becomes possible thanks to the construction's unique dual rotation axes.
Most watch winders only show the watch's dial, but the WTS 4 also exposes the case and straps/bracelets from the side.
The watches rotate at about a 45° inclination whereas the base platter revolves around its vertical axis, optimizing the effects of gravity on the watch rotor.
In a typical operation, the winder starts rotating in one direction and then the other, repeating the cycle for 30 seconds before pausing for 110 seconds and starting again.
This imitates the action of a watch worn on your wrist.
The TPD (Turns Per Day) provided ensures that any Auto-Timepiece is kept ticking and conforms with all manufacturers' TPD specifications, eg BREITLING, OMEGA, ROLEX, PATEK
PHILIPPE, etc.

This winder is fitted with the ultra-quiet synchronous AC motor from MTE and can be confidently placed on your bedside table
The MD Series Synchronous Geared AC Motors are compact yet sturdy motors for applications that need the appropriate motor
A capacitor maintains the direction of rotation.
Due to this electrical design, the direction of rotation can be changed by switches or electronic controls.
some of the advantages are:
• Small installation dimensions
• Virtually silent
• Maintenance-free (no rubber drive belts, reduction gears etc)
• Many accessories available
