WOLF might be closing in on nearly two centuries crafting exquisite watch and jewellery accessories, but that doesn't mean the 185-year-old British heritage brand (and Walpole member) can't be at the forefront of timepiece technology. Case in point, the launch of its revolutionary new watch winder, The Rocket.

Lightweight, compact and accurate, with a long battery life, The Rocket is the world's smallest watch winder – created after nearly 2 years of research and development. As you might imagine, when creating a watch winder that's perfect for travel, size reduction was WOLF’s greatest challenge. The focus was to make a winder that was small enough to cradle in the palm of your hand, operate seamlessly inside any hotel safe, pop into your overnight hold-all or pack for an extended holiday away. The result is a mechanised cylinder containing a rechargeable-battery-powered single watch winder, featuring all manner of indicators and functionality to ensure your watch is both perfectly wound and totally protected when in transit.
After an initial preview to press and industry insiders in Brighton earlier this year, this innovative piece of technology is now available to purchase by horology enthusiasts across the world.
"I am extremely proud of our latest innovation at WOLF," says Simon Wolf, Chief Executive Officer of WOLF. "The Rocket is a result of a great deal of hard work and represents what WOLF is all about; bringing innovative, beautifully designed products to the market which solve a problem for consumers.
"They said, ‘it couldn’t be done’. Well, we’ve done it!"
