Has anyone got a winder from this company? If so, what are they like?
I have searched all the usual channels but there isn't very much information out there.

No, but would be interested in how you get on if you buy one as often see them on eBay with no bids which look a good deal vs rrp so if you are going to buy one could be worth trying your luck there for a while.
Found this on another forum on a Google
http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/162657...boxes-winders/
My wife got me one of these as a Christmas present last year - the same as this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FEROCASE-Uhrenbeweger-Bracuda-2043-ZBR-B-Ware-Ausstellungsstuck-Watch-Winder-/161131768854?pt=DE_Mode_Accessoires_Uhren_Schmuck_ Uhrenk%C3%A4sten&hash=item258433ac16
Unfortunately over the last couple of days the buttons and the LCD display have got more erratic (sometimes they work, sometimes not), and today it stopped working completely.
I'm about to contact the seller and see what their response is (the winder is under a year old) - I'll report back here. Up to now, I had been very happy with it.
The winder was decent enough build quality (I have a couple of other brands of winder as well), though nothing special. The listed retail price of €1400 is a fantasy - I paid €200 for mine, which was probably reasonable.
The lock on the door is not very positive (not that I need to "lock" the door - I just want to stop the cats from getting in to it!). The actual watch holders are OK, but they will not take a small watch - my wrists are 7.5 inch, and I struggle to place anything smaller on the holders. On the other hand, they are good and wide and would happily take a T W Steel-sized watch. The motors are indeed both quiet (I have mine in the bedroom) and smooth. On mine, you can set each pair of watches to rotate clockwise, anticlockwise or alternate. You can also set how many turns per minute.
Stay away from Ferocase. They have been operating under multiple eBay IDs, I once had a lot of trouble getting my money back for a returned faulty winder - they had gone bust in the meantime. A couple of weeks later they had resurfaced on eBay under a different ID. I had to complain to eBay to finally get my money back.
Their winders are the cheapest Chinaware you can find and stink like chemical waste when they arrive. I once saw a picture of the inside of one of their winders on a German forum and it was all rusty and poor cabling.
Someone who lies about the little things will lie about the big things too.

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
The linked certificate attesting "Made in Germany" refers to "Modellautoreinigungsanlage". When I really looked at it, it appears that it has been counterfeit, a quick research on the issuing company's website shows that the original under this reference number has been issued to a different company (http://www.ja-zu-deutschland.com/index.php?id=76).
They are not only selling cheap China crap, but are also fraudsters. I have forwarded the link to the issuing body for review.
Good detective work, there.
I have no idea where the Ferocase winders are actually made, but as previously mentioned my personal experience with them was that the product did not last very long (under 1 year) and that the seller was extremely unhelpful, despite the age of the winder.
On this basis, my personal recommendation to anybody considering the purchase of a Ferocase Watch Winder is not to touch them.

You could forward their email to info@ja-zu-deutschland.de pointing out that they have a false certificate on their site (http://ferocase.de/made.jpg) with an ID number belonging to a German company. I'm sure that Ja zu Deutschland e.V. are in a better position to investigate this and the address they give "Brandstücken 29, 22549 Hamburg".
Hi
