Introducing Northcraft Watch Winder, Built on 49 Years of Understanding Watch Collectors

For 49 years, Billstone has been dedicated to one enduring purpose: preserving valuables that carry meaning, value, and legacy. In its 49th year of watch preservation, this deep understanding of collectors’ needs is embodied in a new chapter—the launch of the Billstone watch winder, Northcraft.

Northcraft is not simply a new product. It is the result of decades spent listening to collectors, safeguarding fine timepieces, and refining how valuable watches should be stored, protected, and maintained. Every detail reflects Billstone’s long-standing commitment to thoughtful, long-term watch care.

A Watch Winder Shaped by Decades of Experience

For collectors, an automatic watch represents more than mechanical precision. It is an object of value, sentiment, and continuity. Over decades of working closely with collectors, Billstone understands that proper watch care is not only about keeping movements running, but about how watches are stored, accessed, and protected in daily life.

The Billstone watch winder is designed with this mindset. Northcraft is built to support how collectors truly live with their watches: carefully, intentionally, and with long-term ownership in mind.

Introducing Billstone Northcraft Watch Winder

A Complete Watch Care System with Hidden Top Storage

Unlike conventional products, the Northcraft watch winder is designed as a complete watch care system. At its core is a thoughtful feature shaped by collector behavior: a hidden storage compartment on the top, reserved for items that require discreet, secure, and immediate access.

Combined with precision winding and advanced security, Northcraft integrates three essential elements into one refined unit:

  • Precision automatic winding
  • Advanced layered security
  • Hidden top storage for watches and personal essentials

This approach allows collectors to manage their entire watch setup—from daily-wear pieces to private accessories—within a single, elegant system.

Hidden Top Storage, Designed for the Way Collectors Store

The hidden top storage compartment reflects Billstone’s deep understanding of collectors’ routines. Discreetly integrated into the upper section, it provides secure space for:

  • Non-automatic or frequently worn watches
  • Jewelry and personal accessories
  • Watch tools and daily essentials

 

 

 

 

The compartment remains visually unobtrusive, preserving the clean exterior while offering practical storage where collectors naturally reach first. A removable accessories tray allows flexible organization or can be removed entirely to accommodate larger items.

 

Advanced Dual-Layer Security System

Security is a defining feature of the northcraft watch winder. Northcraft uses a dual-layer security system that combines modern biometric technology with mechanical protection.

The front door is secured with a fingerprint lock protected by a dedicated lid, ensuring the sensor remains clean, durable, and accurate over time. This biometric access works in tandem with a mechanical security knob system: the top door cannot be opened unless the front door is unlocked first.

This layered access design provides controlled, step-by-step security—offering peace of mind for collectors storing high-value timepieces.

 

Intuitive LCD Control Panel

Northcraft is designed to be powerful yet easy to use. The intuitive LCD control panel provides clear and precise control over:

  • Winding direction
  • Rotation settings
  • Display lighting

 

 

 

 

The interface is clean and straightforward, allowing effortless operation without technical knowledge. Whether you are an experienced collector or a first-time automatic watch owner, the northcraft watch winder delivers reliable performance with minimal effort.

Next-Generation Watch Holder for All Watch Sizes

Modern collections often include oversized luxury watches, and Northcraft is designed to accommodate them with ease. The next-generation watch holder features a wider grip that allows for easy placement and removal while keeping each watch securely in position.

The enlarged compartments are specifically designed to fit:

  • Oversized luxury watches
  • Thick rubber-strap sports models
  • Watches with larger cases and heavier profiles

High-end models such as Richard Mille and AP Royal Oak Offshore can be stored securely without pulling, bending, or stressing the strap.

High-Protection Interior with Aramid Fiber Reinforcement

The interior of the northcraft watch winder is engineered for superior protection. Each compartment is lined with ultra-soft microfiber velvet to safeguard cases, bezels, and straps from scratches.

Beneath the surface, an Aramid Fiber reinforcement layer provides enhanced resistance to heat and impact—offering protection beyond what is found in standard watch winders. The subtle 3D Aramid texture also adds a refined, high-tech visual detail that elevates the overall presentation.

Adjustable Warm White Display Lighting

To enhance both visibility and presentation, the northcraft watch winder includes adjustable warm white ambient lighting. Controlled directly through the LCD panel, the lighting highlights each watch with a soft, comfortable glow.

The warm tone is designed to be easy on the eyes, making Northcraft suitable for display in bedrooms, dressing rooms, or workspaces while maintaining a refined showcase effect.

Two Capacity Options to Match Your Collection

Northcraft 6 Fingerprint Watch Winder

The Northcraft 6 is ideal for collectors with a compact or growing collection. It maintains up to six automatic watches while offering the same advanced security, protection, and control features as the larger model.

Northcraft 12 Fingerprint Watch Winder

The Northcraft 12 is designed for larger collections, accommodating up to twelve automatic watches. It serves as both a functional maintenance tool and a visual centerpiece for a dedicated watch space.

Both models share the same design philosophy—allowing collectors to choose based on capacity without compromising on features or build quality.

Conclusion: Billstone Watch Winder, Built on 49 Years of Preservation

The Billstone Northcraft Watch Winder is a reflection of nearly five decades spent understanding collectors and protecting what matters most. By combining precision winding, biometric security, intelligent storage, and premium protective materials, it delivers a watch care system shaped by experience.

For collectors seeking a secure, refined, and thoughtfully designed solution, the Billstone watch winder stands as a natural extension of Billstone’s legacy—built to preserve valuable timepieces today and for years to come.
