Love it! I've spent more time than is reasonable looking for a proper wooden storage box. There seems to be a lot of lower quality boxes available and super high end leather boxes that just don't seem practical. This is a great option.

That adds nice sophistication and quality to a collection!

I use the Case Club 8 Watch and Accessory Case. But Case Club has 20 different watch box options ranging from 1 watch to 32 watches. I love it and it’s perfect for somebody like me who doesn’t have somewhere to display their watches and needs to close and stash the case easily while keeping everything safe and sound.

I have the red toolbox 🧰 one from windup watch shop. It took forever for it to get back in stock, but it’s super high quality.

Beautiful Case ! Beautiful Finish and Interior! Love the Screw Heads and Hinges - Awesome Watch Box! Well Crafted!

It's beautifully constructed and I love the color scheme ! 👌❤

Often times those locks aren't security locks, they're temper locks. You are exactly correct, the lock won't stop a thief; but it will stop a guest at your house from just subtly stealing a strap. Or keeping a kid out of your watch box, because they might toy with a multy thousand dollar watch, scratch it up, or drop it and break it. The lock is just for preventing people from tampering with the contents

That's fantastic..I'm a woodworker and making a watch box is on my list of near term projects. I already have the wood and scoped out very similar hardware.

I bought a Glenor Co Wooden Watch for 59 and it is very high end. No need to spend $500 that's crazy.

Have a Wolf watch box with storage for straps and tools. And a Wolf double winder with storage for a few watches. Wolf watch roll for travel. I like things to match, and was able to get some of these items at a decent price

My watches live in a 4 head winder, with 2 heads on so I have options already set and running when I choose my weekly watch, and my sock drawer....They all get rotated to the left. Yes, I pluck a watch from time to time out of rotation because it goes better with what I am wearing. Thanks for the video.

I use to add a silica gel bag to the watch box. Perhaps it is not so important in LA area but humidity is quite present in my area

Thanks for the review. This box looks well put together with - what appears to be - good materials, which is so very important. My biggest disappointment is the companies branding on the front and how visually disruptive it is. I would much prefer it to be hidden or as subtle as possible - an invisible emboss would do the trick. To be honest, that makes this a non-starter for me, and ordering "custom" isn't a solution. I think the same thing of Analog/shifts new collab with WOLF, the nice metal box by wornandwound, etc. The clients/brand age-old saying; "can you make the logo 25% bigger" is still very true. I hope brands (young or old) matures thier design sensibilities to a point where they understand that some aspects of visual language can get in the way of an experience and should really only be complimenting/supporting an experience.

I've got a 12 watch box from DeFerichs. It's a little more on the rustic side than this, but then, so am I. The price is a little easier to swallow, and they offer many configurations and options.

Nicely made, attractive box. But aside from that...that'd be a fantastic 6 watch collection.

Gory, do you recommend to keep automatic watch always on watch winder and keep it running or it's better to give it rest from time to time Thank you

I prefer watch rolls like Everest but for the money Mirage makes a copy of the Everest for around $30!

great video

Nice - looking display case. I have something comparable, however it is made of sandalwood. I can't comment on which is better because I have never seen the case you are reviewing.

I own 4 watches and all budget watches. I had them on watch stands but was given a storage box tha holds 20 watches from my wife. I guess I gotta fill it up....darnit.

i have a $20 guka watchbox. it holds 10 watches. the box is covered with a black faux leather. clear glass at the top. closes with a buckle. watches are on pillows

My mom got me one for xmas off of amazon I think, it has a lock but I dont use it. The outside has leather around it, although I wouldnt be surprised if it is fake leather but I still like it

Why in the world will I get a beautiful box like that to put in a safe? My entire watch collection is in beautiful watch boxes in my office. I can't wear more than one a day, so I get to enjoy looking at them in the meantime. In my opinion, that is part of the enjoyment, so putting them in a safe is more like holding stocks and bonds and forgetting about them. A watch collection is a passion for most so enjoy the beauty of them whether on your wrist or in your box. I have several watch displays in my office and I just love being around my collection. Now having said that, I don't own high end watches so I do understand for the high end collectors why they can't hold them all in their house for insurance purposes.

I got my 2 watch boxes from Amazon works for me

Not to add fuel to the fire but I was just quoted $795 for a 15 slot N&N single tier. With that said I am very proud of my watch collection and feel showing them off in a high quality box just adds to their beauty.

Man cave strap should be good, that’s why I ordered one leather strap last April thru Etsy, too bad it hasn’t arrived.

Quick question. Just received a watch box for my bday today. How do you fit an adjusted bracelet watch around a cushion, similar to the ones here? I don't want to squeeze the cushion so much so that it distorts the cushion, as it will look ugly from the glass top? Any ideas or do I just leave the bracelet watches unfastened? (They move around that way)

I use a Schirro (sp) tower, glass and gray carbon fiber look.... holds 21 watches..I believe the company has closed down, and I have another schirro wood tower that holds 18...and one watch winder that holds 8 watches and has 3 rotation and timing speeds for each set of two watches.

Very nice watch box and a great review. I have a small wrist and find that the pillows in most boxes are too large for a watch with a bracelet. I wonder how this one is.

You had me up until the price. Looks nice, but I'm not spending that much for a watch box.

Finally a decent watch box! But still a bit too much for me unfortunately.

Silly question but does the box impart any smells to the watches? The reason I ask is the construction looks very similar (showing those hinges) to a humidor for cigars. Part and parcel of the joys of cigars is the olfactory element. Spanish cedar is the norm but obviously no "smell-o-vision" on KZread so can't really tell.

Okay, wtf!?!? I literally started looking up watch containers last night and now this shows up. BLACK MAGIC AND WITCHCRAFT... Loved the vid man 😊

I bought some auto winders from Kogan. Cheap, study and they lock.

My watch collection is valued at approximately $172.. I display them in a vintage Ziploc bag.

I currently have 7 watches that range from 15 bucks to 250.And I have the in a nice inexpensive watch case that cost me about 150 bucks.Soon I'll be needing another box, maybe something like this.

Hey! What about those Undone Watches?

I just use some acrylic boxes from muji. At a fraction of that cost (need to save money on some things to buy more watches) so it’s a no , plus with all that space would have though the box would hold eight with slimmer side pockets / sections , seems to waste a lot of space.

Nice enough if you want to go fancy, but I don't see that it's functionally any better than a $28 Amazon special.

The box is really nice, but I would like to not see the lateral boxes, it looks a bit messy. Maybe the glass windows could be only wide enough to show the watches and cover those sides, it could be a nice design. Or maybe I'm OCD.

I use Pelican case to store my watches, tougher than average watch boxes but my friend says it ugly.

Damn that wood must be expensive 😆 🤣

I wonder if they make humidors

Could you do a SOTC update? :)

Mine stay in my walk-in closet built in drawers with personalized foam inserts... each drawer holds up to 24 watches...each foam insert cost 50usd 👍

Yes, I have three of those. The downside is you can't see them without opening the case. I have them labeled. It makes a good case for my vacation trips. Especially if you go on a boat of any kind since their waterproof.

The lock on a watch box is NOT there to prevent it from theft. It is there to stop the lid from inadvertently opening, if the box is dropped, tilted, moved etc. Even if a watch box had a solid lock, and a bullet proof, hammer proof glass cover, it would be easy to steal, due to its small size and weight. It can easily be stolen (provided someone has broken in to your home already) and moved, as it is not anchored down. This gives potential thieves plenty of time to open the box in the comfort of their hideout. The only way to secure the box would be to anchor it down. This is the same principle as for bicycles. If you have an expensive bike, dont bother locking the tires - You need to secure the frame to a fixed, immovable (within reason) point.

$530 isn't a little bit extra. That's a Citizen Eco and a Casio G with some change.
