Watch box advice?
Jul 25, 2019,06:06 AM
All,
As my collection has grown to a few pieces, I am now trying
to navigate through the jungle of watch boxes and winders, and was wondering if
you happen to have any advice? I am looking for a box for 8-10 watches, with
room for large watches (Panerai), but with flexible enough pillows to fit my
relatively short bracelets and straps.
Or do you all use winders? It seems to me that winders often
have higher quality cushions etc., but I only have a couple of automatic
watches and don’t really mind winding them before use.
I would be most grateful for any advice or input! Hope I am
not violating the CoC.
Many thanks in advance,
K-G

I have more than a few.... they are collecting dust, in storage. Unless you have some pieces that are difficult to set with complications like a moon phase or perpetual or possibly annual calendar I avoid them. While they prevent the need to reset and win...

on the fancy display box plan. And while leaving them at a bank is very secure they are out of reach... difficult to access, which is why I look for compact but safe (from damage) ways to fit into my not huge but bolted down safe at home. Not as safe as t...

If you have a secure location to keep it, Underwood makes a sturdy, handsome, black or brown leather 10-watch box large enough for oversized watches. I like that the watches sit far enough apart that there is no risk of metal-to-metal collisions within th...
In Regard to Winders and Boxes
By: PPJames : July 27th, 2019-05:36
I keep all my watches that are not on a winder in a home safe. I live in a highrise so no worries about thieves. I have several travel cases depending on how many watches I'm taking (2,4 and 10). I do keep a few pieces on a winder, however, only those tha...

As for watch boxes, I use Underwood and Giobagnara (please google for them) leather boxes. They are very elegant and durable. Sam

...as others have said, they’re a waste of money, and I like setting my watch when I haven’t worn it in a while. On the topic of boxes, I’ve outgrown the cheap box I got from Amazon, and I want something that I can pickup and move easily and even lock awa...
