Part of the fun of being a watch collector is showing them off and gawking at your precious watches all day long. But you can’t do that if you keep them tucked in somewhere so they don’t get scratched, right? That’s where watch boxes come in.
Once you discover the dedicated watch box, it’s like a new world out there just opened up your eyes. They are specially made for your priced timekeepers, and vary greatly in size, quality, and of course, your budget.
You can find some reasonably priced watch boxes out there, just as easily as you can spend a small fortune on some luxurious brands. It’s up to you to figure out what style you are aiming for. Of course, it also depends on how many watches you actually have.
Some of the boxes we will look at could fit a few pieces, while others have enough room for quite a hefty inventory. As your watch collection grows, you either need to start thinking of investing into a watch box, or upgrade the one you already have.
We gathered a list for you to show you the different options that are available on the market. Let’s take a look at the 25 best watch boxes for collectors.

4. August Sandgren x Kristian Haagen Watch Box
Not the largest box on our list, it is a pretty great looking option that does have enough room for three watches. So if your collection is on the smaller side, this watch box might be perfect for you. Made from top grain Aniline leather on the exterior and soft Nubuck leather on the inside, it is also one of the most delicate and luxurious on the list.

1. Wolf Axis 6-Piece Winder
Technically a watch winder is not a watch box per se, but if it has room for more than one watch, does it count? Most likely debatable, but we still decided to include it on our list. In particular this gorgeous box from Wolf deserves a mention. They are better known for their watch winders, so we feel like this fits the best of both worlds.
This model will work for many collections with the six watch storage space. Decorated with laser-cut perforated steel at the front, a backlit LCD display, and a locking glass cover, it will elevate any room it will occupy.
We’re sure there are probably thousands of different watch boxes out there, but we’ve tried to narrow the list down to only 25. As you can imagine, it was a daunting task, but we picked the best of the best according to customer reviews and tried to include several styles in our list. Have you seen any that tickled your fancy?
