A Heritage of Excellence Rapport is a family run business with 115 years of expertise in the horological market. The company was founded in 1898 by Maurice A. Rapport who was an energetic young entrepreneur keen to make his mark on an age that thrived on innovation. His skills lay in the manufacture of prestige timepieces and it did not take long for the name of Rapport to become a household name in clockmaking throughout the world. Four generations later the business remains a private limited company and is proud to continue the philosophy laid down by the founder of innovation, quality and service. Investment in technology, craftsmanship and the quest to source the highest quality materials ensures Rapport’s commitment to produce world class products. Rapport was also a pioneer in the growing market of Automatic Watch Winders. Back in the 1980s our designers produced the blueprints for a range of revolutionary winders with advanced mechanics to keep automatic watches fully wound – and it was our craftsmen who made the cases come alive with the skill and expertise inherited from their clockmaking work. Today the Rapport range of Watch Winders has gone from strength to strength, with more technologically advanced motor-drives and a wide range of styles and material combinations to choose from - it is a range our founding father would be proud to be part of, and we are sure there is a model that any lover of prestigious watches will be proud to own.

watch winders ~ the perfect match for the finest watches A Pedigree of Craftsmanship & Design RAPPORT have over one hundred years of association with fine timepieces and are proud to introduce their latest range of Watch Winders and Collector Boxes – the ultimate accessory for owners of automatic, self winding watches. Owners of such watches are generally people who appreciate the finer things in life and will recognise the quality and practicality of a Rapport watch winder. Our designers have created a range of winders to satisfy the modern, fashion conscious individual or those with more traditional tastes – there’s a wide variety of wood finishes to choose from as well as subtle combinations of various metals and glass.

Attention to detail

Hand crafted wooden cases come alive with the application of no less than eight coats of highly polished lacquer whilst the metal models are finished to perfection. Interiors are lined with a soft-touch fabric to offer protection to the watches and add to the elegance of the winders, while the fine tuned mechanism keeps your watch in prime condition. People with several automatic watches are catered for in the Rapport collection with multiple winders being available for up to 12 watches. It’s an easy task to add a watch to one of the independently controlled cups, to maintain all your timepieces in perfect order.

Finished to perfection

For the serious collector of prestige watches Rapport offers a selection of Collectors’ Boxes to match the quality of the Watch Winders. The Collectors Boxes range is further testament to Rapport’s reputation for quality, craftsmanship and service.

… and for the serious collector

Range of multi-winders

A Rapport winder gives every automatic watch the exercise it needs •2

Why use a Watch Winder? An automatic watch has a mechanism that requires regular motion to keep the inner spring constantly charged, this motion is usually provided as it is worn. Once removed from the wrist the stored energy will not run indefinitely, the watch will need to be manually rewound and reset eventually. Many automatic watches have additional features, or ‘Complications’, – date/ time/lunar phase/world time etc. so the task of rewinding and recalibrating a watch if it runs down is best avoided. Such watches are precision instruments and they actually benefit from exercise – if left unwound for long periods, internal lubricants can be lost from critical areas which will eventually lead to excessive wear on components and subsequent lack of accuracy. Rapport Watch Winders have features designed to mimic the action of a watch being worn. The watch is held at a precise angle while being rotated and the winder can be set to run intermittently so that the watch is always permanently wound.


Designed with Form The Design Brief All Rapport Watch Winders are created to fulfill the following criteria. m Adjustable secure pads will suit any size watch strap, leather or metal bracelet. m Watches will not become detached during operation. m Soft interior materials will not damage watches. m Virtually silent motors run on batteries or DC adapter. m Choice of operation modes - fast wind and timed. m Direction of rotation options - bi-directional, clockwise only, or anticlockwise only. m Independent controls for each watch. m Electrical adapters to suit all countries worldwide m Sensors ensure that watches always come to rest in the upright position.

AND

Function in mind

Perpetua or Optima? The Perpetua class of watch winders is Rapport’s more traditional range of winders featuring a variety of wooden cases in one, two or four watch configurations. The watch holders consist of a soft velveteen cushion which fit snugly into surface mounted cups. The Optima series offers a wider range of styles and material combinations with models offering single watch capacity up to multi-watch cabinets. The watches are held on a fully adjustable clip that has a leather covered soft pad and rubber grips and which slot into cups inset into the body of the winder.

The Perpetua soft cushion

The Mechanism The winding motors and controls are the same throughout both ranges and they offer modes of operation suitable for all automatic watches on the market today. Some models in the Optima range offer more advanced options with LED displays to indicate functions in operation.

The Optima adjustable clip

Finish m Craftsman built cases. m Piano finish with eight coats of lacquer, hand finished to a high polish. m Metal fittings are either chrome or gold plated with a non-tarnish surface. m Only genuine leather is used. m Interiors lined with soft velveteen to protect watches.
