A watch box: the safest everyday watch storage

A watch at rest has four enemies: dust, scratches, direct light and humidity. A watch box deals with all four. Each watch sits on its own cushion without touching its neighbour, and the lid keeps it protected. It is the simplest watch storage box for a personal collection, from a first watch to around twenty.

How to choose a watch box

Number of slots

Our watch boxes and cases range from 1 to 18 slots. Take the number of watches you own today and add two: a collection almost always grows, and an overfilled box presses the watches against one another.

Material

A wooden watch box brings the warmth of fine furniture and ages well. A leather watch box is softer and more compact, and suits smaller collections. Carbon fibre suits sports watches and contemporary interiors. The strengths and weaknesses of each material are set out in Wooden, leather or carbon fibre watch box?

A glass lid

A glass lid lets you see the collection without opening the box, which keeps dust out. Simply avoid placing the box in direct sunlight: over the years, strong light can fade dials and leather straps.

The interior

This is what really protects your watches. The cushions should hold the watch without bending a leather strap, and the lining should be soft enough not to mark a polished case.

A watch box for men, or as a gift

A watch box is one of the most fitting gifts for a watch lover: it complements a collection that already exists, with no risk of duplicating a watch. Our watch boxes are for men and women alike, from a single watch upwards. For more ideas, see our gifts for watch lovers.
