This watch winder uses patented technology to keep count of each rotation for your iconic timepiece collection!

If you own more than one watch, you know the importance of watch winders – they keep your watches running when you’re not wearing them. Depending on your collection of timepieces, watch winders come in varying sizes, from smaller, single compartments to larger ones that can store more than six of your watches. Being no stranger to the game, WOLF, a brand committed to a long history of providing luxury jewelry accessories such as watch boxes, winders, and cases, debuted their latest collection of winders called Axis.

WOLF’s latest collection offers winders that range from single compartments to winders that can safeguard up to eight different timepieces and count the precise number of rotations for each and every one. Utilizing their very own patented technology, WOLF equipped each Axis Watch Winder with plenty of different rotation options for your stored watches. Before you place your watch into the preferred winder, WOLF integrated a 10-second start delay into each Axis Watch Winder so that you have sufficient time to insert the watch before the drum kicks in and begins to rotate.

Additionally, the watch winder itself can be set anywhere between 300 to 1,200 turns per day, which can then be doubled if you select bi-directional rotation. The case itself dons either a copper or powder-coated laser-cut perforated steel surface that melds into each individual watch winding module and accompanying backlit LCD display and locking glass cover.

Each Axis Watch Winder also comes with a power reserve setting, which grants six to 72 hours for the watch to release any stored energy it might have generated after getting wound up, which is provided in increments of six hours. Constructed from vegan leather, each watch module comes with a lock-in cuff that locks in your timepiece for safekeeping. Since 1834, WOLF has been designed watch winders, like the Axis Watch Winder, that look nicer than any watch I own based on the belief that a fine quality case is needed to protect one’s prized possessions.

The Ability to Eat a Starchy Diet Turned Wolves into Man’s Best Friend

If you’re a dog person, you may have wondered just how wild packs of wolves turned into your sweet and cuddly lap dogs. You can pet Fido behind the ears, scratch his belly, and throw sticks, but you better not try that with a wolf or it might eat your face off.

Scientists recently studied the genetic code of the domestic dog and compared it to its wolf cousins and found that the ability to eat a starchy diet is part of what led to the domesticated dog.

According to the scientists, dogs split from wolves somewhere between 7,000 and 30,000 years ago (couldn’t they be a little more accurate than a 23,000 year window?)

The team of researchers compared sequenced genomes from 12 wolves from different areas the world to the sequenced genomes of 60 dogs from 14 different breeds. The comparison found that 36 genomic regions are believed to have been modified through domestication. More than half of those regions were related to brain function, including central nervous system development that scientists believe could account for the reduced aggression in dogs compared to wolves. Three genes play a role in the ability to digest starch.

The scientists believe that the split from wolves started when wolves began feeding on material humans dumped near their civilizations in ancient times, and certain wolves that were able to digest starchy foods survived to become the ancestors to modern dogs.
