Watch box/closet suggestions?

Hi fellas,

I am sure many of you own nice watch boxes in which you can your watches.

I'm looking for a decent one, if possible with a lock. I'm looking for a small one that I can put on my desk, store in my drawers etc. ( not those massive closet sized ones.)

any suggestions?

Someone here suggested Hillwood, saying they were amazing quality, I got a 3 watch one, and they were not wrong. Really pleased, and prices I think are very reasonable. And a UK company.

Scatola Del Tempo. Haven't seen anything close in craftsmanship.

Hey Wes,

Thanks for your reply!

Love the warmth of the wood - What's the wood that is used for the box?

Looking fabulous. Thank you for the info!

Camphor burl I think. Apparently there is 15 coats of lacquer on it.

I guess it depends on how much you want to spend. I think I had gotten one off Amazon a few years back and it looks great, has held up, and soft on the watches.

Another vote for Scatola del Tempo. Here is a few pics of mine. Holds twelve watches in a very nice leather compact case.

Best box for three watches is the safe deposit box in a vault. Rapport of London do nice boxes and winders.

Believe I bought mine at Elegant watches in IFC mall. Worth going to SDT website and search or authorized retailer. Believe there are other places in HK that sells them

You guys in HK, any interest in my 18-winder Scatola for a bargain price?

It's a discontinued model, but was USD18,000 IIRC!!!

PM your email addresses and I can email you photos.
