The company founder, Maurice A. Rapport

A Heritage ofExcellence

Rapport is a family run business with more than a century 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.

Rapport designers

combine the craft of the

cabinetmaker

to create the world’s finest Automatic Watch Winders

and the

Why use a Watch Winder?An automatic watch has a mechanism that requires regular motion to keepthe inner spring constantly charged, this motion is usually provided as it isworn. Once removed from the wrist the stored energy will not runindefinitely, 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 andrecalibrating a watch if it runs down is best avoided.

Such watches are precision instruments and they actually benefit fromexercise – if left unwound for long periods, internal lubricants can be lostfrom critical areas which will eventually lead to excessive wear oncomponents and subsequent lack of accuracy.

Rapport Watch Winders have features designed to mimic the action of awatch being worn. The watch is held at a precise angle while being rotatedand the winder can be set to run intermittently so that the watch is alwayspermanently wound.

Attention to detail

RAPPORT have over one hundred years of association with finetimepieces and are proud to introduce their latest range of WatchWinders and Collector Boxes – the ultimate accessory for owners ofautomatic, self winding watches. Owners of such watches are generallypeople who appreciate the finer things in life and will recognise thequality and practicality of a Rapport watch winder.

Rapport’s designers have created a range of winders to satisfy the modern,fashion conscious individual or those with more traditional tastes – there’s awide variety of wood finishes to choose from as well as subtle combinations ofvarious metals and glass.

Hand crafted wooden cases come alive with the application of no less thaneight coats of highly polished lacquer whilst the metal models are finished toperfection. Interiors are lined with a soft-touch fabric to offer protection to thewatches and add to the elegance of the winders, while the fine tuned mechanismkeeps your watch in prime condition.

People with several automatic watches are catered for in the Rapportcollection with multiple winders being available for up to 12 watches. It’s aneasy task to add a watch to one of the independently controlled cups, tomaintain all your timepieces in perfect order.

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

The company founder, Maurice A. Rapport

A Heritage ofExcellence

Rapport is a family run business with more than a century 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.

evolutiona new generation of electronic winders for prestige automatic watches

advanced • contemporary • modern • stylish • colourful

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 only run for a

short while, depending upon the model, then the watch will need to be manually rewound and reset.

A watch with further ‘complications’, – date/time/lunar phase/world time etc. the task of rewinding and

recalibrating if it runs down is best avoided.

Furthermore, watches of this calibre are precision instruments and like all thoroughbreds 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.

‘evolution’ 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 at the optimum requirement for your

particular watch to ensure it is permanently wound.

‘evolution’…a new generation of watch winders

The mechanismThe frequency and speed of rotation are important factors the ‘evolution’ range has addressed in ensuringthe precision workings of your watch are correctly maintained. The oscillations of the winder simulate themotion of the wrist when the watch is being worn - it doesn’t just revolve, it swings, changes direction andrests periodically according to whichever of the three modes you choose.

Adjustable padThe watch carrier has a screw adjustment at the front and a sprung pad at the back to allow the fitting ofvirtually any size watch strap, leather or link bracelet. A soft padded leather covering to the carrier preventsdamage to the watch. The carrier fits snugly into the cup and there is no danger of the watch becomingdetached. It also cleverly comes to rest with the watch in the perpendicular position whenever the rotation cycleis stationary.

Electricity supplyThe motor mechanism runs virtually silent, on a safe low voltage which is provided by batteries or fromthe mains using the DC adapter supplied. An LED light is provided on each model to indicate that poweris on and/or battery life.

Choice of settingsA rotary control knob offers three programmes (Soft, Medium and Strong) which give various combinationsof duration. Each programme is designed to ensure that there is always power in the watch’s movementto maintain accurate time keeping.

GuaranteeWe are sure that you will be absolutely delighted with the ‘evolution’ Watch Winder yet, as with all Rapportluxury products we offer a full 24 month guarantee.
