In this entry, you will learn all about watch cases, watch boxes and the benefits of choosing the best watch storage for your watch collection. You will also find our reviews of the 8 watch cases we consider to be the best watch storage solutions available on the market. Read on and learn all you need to know about watch cases and watch boxes.
Why You Should Choose a Watch Case or Watch Box
No matter the size of your watch collection, your watches deserve to be cared for. An automatic watch is a uniquely personal item. It shows the world what kind of person you are. And the same goes for the way you take care of your watches. Watch storage plays an important role in ensuring the longevity of your watches. Choosing the right storage solution for your watches should therefore be a priority ? regardless of how long you have been a watch collector or how many watches you own. This is why we recommend that you choose a watch case or watch box to store your watches. First and foremost, a watch case or box will help you keep your automatic watches protected. It will prevent them from getting damaged from sliding around at the bottom of a drawer. It will also shield them from dust and dirt, which makes it easier to keep your watches looking pristine. A watch case is also an excellent way to keep your watch collection organized. It eliminates clutter and gives you a designated place to keep your watches when you are not wearing them. This prevents you from accidentally misplacing your watches. After all, with a watch case there?s only one place your watches could be. A watch box or watch case also gives you a way to display your watch collection in an aesthetically pleasing way. For this purpose, some watch boxes also come with a see-through glass top. This way, you don?t have to keep your watch collection hidden away in a drawer: the watch box allows you to see and enjoy your watches every day. And finally ? and perhaps most importantly ? a watch case gives you a practical way to transport your watches when traveling. The watch case fits smoothly into your suitcase and keeps your watches neatly in place during your journey. The case keeps your collection protected and allows you to bring different watch options with you. Whether you?re participating in meetings, going out to dinner or going for a run, you will always have the right watch on hand.

The 8 Best Watch Cases and Watch Boxes for Men on the Market
Zürich Four Grained Leather Watch Case
Photos: A Collected Man If you are looking for a sophisticated watch case with good capacity, the Zürich Four Taupe Grained Leather Case from A Collected Man could be a good choice for you. This watch case is made from high quality softly grained calfskin leather, giving the design a luxurious and modern appeal. Combined with the supple, light gray Alcantara lining, the taupe leather gives the case an elegant, timeless air that will pair well with every watch in your collection. The cushioned recesses for the watches are designed with a lowered compartment for the watch strap as well as a stepped system for the watch case and crown. This way, your watches will lie neatly flat within the leather case. The two-part interior is separated by a divider with a snap closure. This ensures that the watches in the upper compartment are held securely in place ? a particularly practical feature for travel purposes. Holding up to four watches, the Zürich case is a good choice if you are going on a slightly longer trip and want to bring along a couple of extra watch options in addition to those you wear most. At $529, this watch case is not the most affordable option on this list. However, for a four-watch capacity case of this quality, the Zürich is very reasonably priced.
Valletta Two Pouch

This watch case will hold your two favourite watches and keep them securely in place during your trip. The slim design of this watch case makes it a versatile travel accessory that will easily fit into your luggage?regardless of the size of your suitcase. This watch case is made from soft, luxurious nubuck leather in a warm light tan color that suits the nubuck texture beautifully. The cream Alcantara lining perfectly complements the exterior and allows your watches to stand out nicely against the light interior. The light color also has the advantage of being easy to see amongst the other items in your suitcase, allowing you to locate your leather watch case easily when you unpack your things. The $282 price tag may seem a little steep, but for such a handy, high quality watch case we think it well worth the cost.

However, August Sandgren?s Watchbox is designed with a snap closure lid to ensure that no magnets will interfere with the mechanical movements of the watches you keep within. Priced at $406, this watch box is by no means the most budget friendly watch storage solution on this list. It is also not quite as practical for travel as the slimmer zip closure cases on the market. However, we think the high quality and the beauty of this design are worth every penny.
