Best Watch Winder for Hublot | Tempus
Founded in 1980 by Carlo Crocco, Hublot made its name by fusing a gold case with a rubber strap — the 'Art of Fusion' that still defines the brand. The 2005 Big Bang turned Hublot into a modern powerhouse, and its manufacture Unico chronograph calibre cemented its technical credentials.
The Big Bang is the icon: bold, architectural, unmistakable. The Classic Fusion offers a slimmer take on the same design language. Hublot's in-house Unico and manufacture calibres are robust automatics, but they are thirstier than most — many need 800 TPD, and winding direction is predominantly clockwise.
Hublot TPD Requirements
Most Hublot automatics, including the Big Bang family, need 800 turns per day, clockwise. A few newer references with different calibres run at 650 TPD bi-directional — check the table for your exact model.
| Model | Recommended Setting |
|---|---|
| Hublot Aero Bang All Black | 800 TPD, clockwise |
| Hublot Aero Bang Gold Ceramic Ltd. Ed. | 800 TPD, clockwise |
| Hublot Big Bang | 800 TPD, clockwise |
| Hublot Big Bang 41 | 650 TPD, bi-directional |

What to Look for in a Winder for Hublot
Prioritise a winder that reaches 800 TPD and offers a clockwise mode — the Hublot standard. Hublots are large, heavy watches, so a winder with a sturdy, well-padded holder that grips without marking the rubber or leather strap is essential.
Beyond the numbers, the fundamentals still apply: whisper-quiet operation so the winder can live in a bedroom, a secure holder that grips without marking the strap or bracelet, and a power reserve-friendly rotation pattern. Every Tempus winder is built around these, with programmable TPD, three winding directions and a 3-year warranty as standard.
Tempus Winders for Hublot Owners
-
Tempus 2 Touch Screen (£371) — A compact two-watch unit that reaches 800 TPD clockwise for Big Bang calibres — quiet, secure and backed by a 3-year warranty. -
Tempus 9 Touch Screen (£1,121) — Nine independently programmed rotors for a serious Hublot collection, each settable to 800 TPD clockwise.
Why Hublot Owners Bother With a Winder
A Big Bang left idle stops within two days, and the Unico chronograph's displays all need resetting. On a winder at 800 TPD clockwise, the watch never stops — the date and chronograph stay honest.
Single vs Multi-Watch for Hublot
Hublot owners often have two or three Big Bangs in different materials. A 2-watch winder covers the pair; collectors with Classic Fusions and limited editions alongside will want 4 or 6 rotors with independent 800 TPD settings.
