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

Once I figured out how to use it from your YouTube video. It was perfect for my current needs and maybe forever since Bergeon is so expensive. Thank you for creating something that supports this community of hobbyists. Well made product.
This is a great tool, though the learning curve to use it can be a little steep. I had to refer to multiple YouTube tutorials to piece together a consistent method of using this tool, and I had to break several practice mainsprings before I finally got it down. This is an excellent tool that solves a very annoying problem in watchmaking.
Totally Awesome stuff.... It works great and shipping was super fast!
i like it.
Absolutely perferfect ! Delivered even before the estimations and a small gift was included in the box ! I really recommend Chronofix ! Thanks a lot
Packaging is a joke! I ordered the full kit and all pieces arrive rattling loose inside some old cardboard box.
At lease place the pieces inside a plastic ziplock bag first.
This kit needs to come with a box to hold all the pieces and keep them organized.
Whether it works or not, it desperately needs some sort of storage box, and more care taken in the packaging.
Has good potential if more care & attention is taken.
