🚚 FREE DELIVERY
Tax included
The Élégance Carbon automatic watch winder combines two iconic materials of contemporary luxury: deep black lacquer, used by major leather goods brands, and braided carbon fiber, emblematic of high-end sports watches. Its characteristic checkered carbon facade immediately evokes the dials of prestigious chronographs, while its black lacquered finish provides a sober and refined graphic presence. The interior is lined with synthetic leather that delicately protects your watches, and the transparent glass cover keeps them visible at all times. 5 customizable rotation modes cover all automatic calibers on the market — from simple cycles to alternating sequences with long pauses for sensitive complications. Available in 2 capacities: 1 slot (16.2 × 18 × 18 cm) or 2 slots (26.5 × 18 × 18 cm). Compatible with Rolex, Omega, TAG Heuer, Breitling, IWC, Cartier, Longines, Tudor. Black Lacquer Carbon Fiber

Key features
Why does the lacquer + carbon combination work?
Deep black lacquer and braided carbon fiber are two materials that might seem distant — the former evokes luxury leather goods cases and traditional French luxury, while the latter belongs to the technical and sporty vocabulary of high-end automotive and modern watchmaking. Their association on the Élégance Carbon is not accidental: it precisely reproduces the material contrast found on contemporary high-end chronographs, where the black lacquered case often alternates with a carbon fiber dial.
For a collector who owns a prestigious sports watch (chronograph, modern diver, contemporary pilot's watch), the Élégance Carbon offers a case that speaks the same material language as the watch displayed. The visual coherence between the watch and its winder creates a particularly successful staging effect — the Élégance Carbon is not just a technical support, it is the aesthetic extension of your timepiece.
How to use the Élégance Carbon
The 5 rotation modes — which one to choose?
| Mode | Program | Ideal for |
|---|---|---|
| Mode 1 — Stop | No rotation, simple presentation | Static display, transport, prolonged pause |
| Mode 2 — Clockwise | Clockwise 2 min / pause 18 min, continuous cycle | Clockwise winding calibers only |
| Mode 3 — Counter-clockwise | Counter-clockwise 2 min / pause 18 min, continuous cycle | Counter-clockwise winding calibers only |
| Mode 4 — Alternating ⭐ | Clockwise 2 min / pause 18 min / counter-clockwise 2 min / pause 18 min | Universal choice — suitable for most modern calibers |
| Mode 5 — Long cycle | Alternating cycles over several hours with long programmed pause | Sensitive complications, perpetual calendars, low TPD |
💡 Why is Mode 4 recommended by default? Élégance Carbon's Mode 4 applies a very gentle cycle to the mechanism: only 2 minutes of rotation followed by 18 minutes of pause, alternating clockwise and then counter-clockwise. The long pauses allow the mechanism to stabilize between active phases, which prevents any overwinding and preserves the longevity of the caliber. It is the most universal mode: it is suitable for modern Rolex (650 TPD), contemporary Omega, TAG Heuer, Breitling, IWC. For very sensitive complications, opt for Mode 5 with its prolonged pause.
Optimal use: the Élégance Carbon can operate continuously 24/7 without risk to your watches. The 18-minute pause cycles integrated into Mode 4 (recommended by default) prevent overwinding and protect the mechanism. The black lacquer and carbon fiber require no special maintenance — a simple soft cloth is enough to restore their shine. The transparent glass lid keeps your watches dust-free while keeping them visible at all times.
⚠️ For automatic watches only. The Élégance Carbon is exclusively designed for automatic calibers with a rotor. It is not suitable for quartz watches (battery-powered), solar watches, manual-wind watches (which are wound only by the crown), or smartwatches. Placing these types of watches in a winder is unnecessary and can, in some cases, damage the movement.
