Rotor One Pepsi red leather watch winder - Scatola del Tempo

The Startbox motor, the finish of a collector's object

The Rotor One carries exactly the same Swiss Made Swiss Kubik motor as the Startbox — same 1,600 turns per day, same silence, same magnetic neutrality. What changes is the finish: exceptional leather, hand-applied at the Italian Scatola del Tempo manufacture. An automatic watch winder that costs more than the Startbox, but is markedly more elegant if your collection lives in your living room rather than in a safe.

A Pepsi bezel inspired by the Rolex GMT

The Rotor One is drawn like a porthole, with a graduated bezel at the front. Here, a two-tone red and blue bezel — the Pepsi bezel, directly inspired by the Rolex GMT. Set on red leather, the contrast works immediately: this is a design object as much as an automatic watch winder.

Silent, antimagnetic — pause phases and vertical stop

The Swiss Kubik motor is silent. Magnetic neutrality is measured: 0.07 mT — 85 times below the ISO 764 standard — your Rolex, your Omega or your Patek keeps its accuracy. Between each cycle the Rotor One observes a pause phase and settles in the vertical position: the mainspring relaxes and spring tension stays intermediate.

Cordless, battery-powered — safe-friendly

Two LR14 batteries give 2 to 3 years of autonomy. No cable, no socket nearby: put it wherever you like, including inside a safe. We recommend Procell Duracell and advise against rechargeable batteries, whose variable voltage disturbs the motor.

Rotor One, Startbox or Masterbox?

Same motor, tighter budget and an ABS finish: the Swiss Kubik Startbox black. For an automatic watch winder programmable over Bluetooth, the Masterbox aluminium black approved by Rolex, or the Masterbox black leather with white stitching to stay with leather. On the British side and in piano lacquer, the EVO MK3 black Rapport London and its 9 programmes.
