There is absolutely no need for such large boxes
Everyone really should think about the environment and future. Those expensive wooden boxes are completely unnecessary. A small pouch (leather perhaps) should be sufficient.
why use environmental materials for collectible watch box
This is the plate for Foudroyante. It was attached on the box of the watch but the skin of the box was peeled off because the use of environmental materials. I think a lot of watch boxes use this kind of materials. But I don't understand why watch compani...
GP boxes
GP is a particular offender in this aspect. I am sure your artisan (?) will do a great job. I always wanted a personalised box, made to my requirements. Personally, I value manufacturers who sell watches in diminutive but high quality boxes (Kari I believ...

My preference is for the "coffin type" box that came with the Grand Seiko SBGR095
Sturdy enough to protect the watch from damage during transport/shipping and not have it flying around collecting dings and scratches before you even receive it (I doubt a pouch will do that) but is still small and slim enough to not take up too much spac...
