The winder draws design inspiration from [Star Wars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-collection-2) thanks to its [spaceship-shaped construction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magellan-automatic-star-trek-warp-speed) that is modeled after Darth Vader's Starfighter. This makes the unit suitable for a single timepiece and is equipped with a winding mechanism inside to keep accessories running.
