Best Watch Winder for Lorier | Tempus
Lorier is a New York-based independent founded by husband-and-wife team Lauren and Andrew, and it has become one of the most loved microbrands in the enthusiast world. Its watches borrow their looks from the great 1960s skin divers and field watches — acrylic-style domed crystals, gilt dials, slim cases — while the build quality and finishing sit well above the price.
The hero of the range is the Neptune, a 200m dive watch that channels vintage Submariner-era charm, joined by the Falcon field watch and the Hydra GMT. Every Lorier runs on a dependable Japanese automatic movement, which makes them honest, serviceable daily wearers — exactly the kind of watches that spend days at a time off the wrist in a collection.
Lorier TPD Requirements
The Neptune uses an 800 TPD bidirectional setting, typical of the Japanese automatic calibres Lorier builds on. Set your winder once and the watch will always be wound, accurate and ready.

What to Look for in a Winder for Lorier
A winder with a programmable 800 TPD mode and a bidirectional setting is all a Lorier needs. Because Lorier owners often rotate several affordable-but-loved pieces, a multi-watch unit with quiet operation makes sense — bedroom-safe, with a secure cushion that grips the strap or bracelet without marking it. Every Tempus winder covers these basics, with programmable TPD, three winding directions and a 3-year warranty as standard.
Two Tempus Winders for Lorier Owners
- Tempus Single Remote Control (£296) — remote-controlled single winder, ideal for a one-watch owner.
- Tempus 4 Touch Screen (£746) — four-rotor touch screen unit with independent settings.
Why Lorier Owners Bother With a Winder
The Neptune has a date, and resetting it after a few days off the wrist is a small ritual that gets old fast. A winder keeps the watch ticking so the date is always right and the watch is grab-and-go. For collectors who rotate a Neptune, a Falcon and a GMT, one multi-watch winder keeps the whole affordable rotation ready without a tangle of watch boxes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Lorier watches need a watch winder?
No automatic watch needs a winder — but without one, your Lorier will run down after a couple of days off the wrist, and you will be resetting the time and date. A winder keeps it ready to wear.
What TPD setting does a Lorier Neptune need?
The Lorier Neptune needs 800 TPD bidirectional. Set your Tempus winder to 800 TPD in bidirectional mode and the Neptune will stay fully wound.
What happens if the TPD setting is wrong?
Nothing dramatic. Modern automatics have a slipping mainspring that prevents overwinding, so an incorrect setting cannot damage the movement — the watch simply may not stay fully wound. Use the table above as your starting point.
What warranty do Tempus winders carry?
Every Tempus watch winder includes a 3-year warranty. Tempus can also repair any Tempus-brand winder even after the warranty period has ended.
