Watch boxes - most of the good ones like Anthony Holt, Buben Zorweg, Smythson, Louis Vuitton (yes they make a beautiful finished but heavy box) and Bella Collezeoni come without a display window as the emphasis on these boxes is on the quality of the wood which has to be seen and felt to understand why they cost what they do. The LV has a canvas finish with leather trimmed and brass fittings. So I would recommend the next rung down ie a box by Wolf. You will not need a bank loan to buy one but it is a quality product.
Watch winder - for up to four watches, I would have recommended a Modalo (German made with a Japanese movement) which is ultra quiet so you could get two of these and you should be fine. Swiss Kubik is more expensive but are terribly reliable - my only issue with this brand is that most of the boxes come without a glass cover ie perfect for a safe but not so dust proof if kept outside a safe. If money and space are no object Hussam, I would thoroughly recommend winders from Bernard Favre. Based In Geneva, I was one of Bernard's first customers years ago when he introduced the three dimensional Planet winder which has to seen as it is a real spectacle. The winder works quietly on a rechargeable battery that only needs recharging once every 3 to 4 months. The only snag is that you will need to buy eight individual winders but place them altogether in a row and you will have your own private watch exhibition daily!

I've now joined the ranks of those suffering from first world problems; too many watches to wind them manually. I have 8 automatics (and another one coming in the summer, inshallah) and 3 manuals (on the hunt for 6119R for the wife too). I would like to a...

I owned a Buben Zorweg Vantage 8 Carbon for about 12 years. They don't come cheap though. The earlier edition from the 2000s had very weak plasticy holders which broke from normal usage and had to be replaced every 2 years. This drove me crazy over the ye...
That looks lovely.

Is it weird that I’m a display case-front kinda guy?
Thanks for sharing your experience.

I’ve had my current case (which holds 12) for almost 5 years now, but it was cheap and the cushions have frayed. Hence the need for buying a quality one. Will check these guys out
