The Mainspring winder is an essential tool for watchmakers. Winding a mainspring by hand is tedious, risks damaging the spring, and may contaminate it.
-
As a hobbyist, spending around $1000 on a Bergeon winder isn’t always an option. Chinese copies often sell for around $100, but they are notoriously unreliable — the hook mechanism breaks easily and is usually irreplaceable.
-
The Chronofix Estrapade is a smart, durable alternative. Ready to use, compatible with both left- and right-hand wound springs, and fits nearly all barrel sizes (7.0–18.5mm).
Designed for long-term use and easy maintenance:
• Low-stress plastic parts ensure longevity
• Steel components are replaceable and handle mechanical stress
⚠️ Sizing Tip: Choose a housing barrel that's about 0.5mm smaller in diameter than your Mainspring barrel.
Small Kit (7.0–12.5 mm) includes:
• 2 winders with 1.5mm & 2mm stainless steel shafts
• 1 dual-purpose setting bowl / support base
• 12 housing barrels from 7.0 to 12.5 mm
• 1 template to make replacement hooks
• 2 hooks
Large Kit (13.0–18.5 mm) includes:
• 2 winders with 2.5mm & 3mm stainless steel shafts
• 1 large-format setting bowl / support base
• 12 housing barrels from 13.0 to 18.5 mm
• 1 template to make replacement hooks
• 2 hooks

Good packaging, I did not tried them yet, but from what i saw, it works
¡¡¡Magnifico!!!, el paquete llegó en tiempo y forma, y la comunicación con Louis perfecta. Tiene un periodo de aprendizaje (por lo menos para mí), me ha costado practicar 7-8 veces hasta que he conseguido no tener fallo al enrollar el muelle pero una vez que pasado ese periodo de aprendizaje todo es fácil y perfecto. Muy contento con el producto y con chronofix.
Gracias.
Videos help a lot and practice on a spare spring worked first time. I am an inexperienced watch cleaner (I can’t repair) and am very happy - these solved the issue of being unable to afford Swiss winders and don’t want to waste money on cheap metal ones that really don’t work. These tools work and it is practice not criticism that will get you past problems in my experience, and I reckon I would need practice using a €1500 set too.
Great little tool kit. Needed some training with one or two damaged or old springs to get to it. After understanding the concept and the limitations it is safe and easy to work with.
I'm amazed it worked perfectly
