    Dear Respectable Forum members,

    As some of you may have known, I have started a line of watch rolls. The venture started in the most cliche way possible: having difficulty finding a quality desktop display for my watches, I started designing my own and investigated ways to put it in production. During that time, I also designed and made a watch roll to take on trips and gtgs which generated some interests. Several prototypes later, the M1 was born with the same principles that drove the original design: Portability, Durability, Usability.

    The roll comes in two types of leather: The black is a top grain leather and is buttery soft right off the bat. They are $220 each (introductory price of $200 now). The brown is made of full grain leather and will require a bit of breaking in, think of it like a pair of raw denim that will age distinctly your own. They are $240 each (with introductory price of $220 now). Both have a maximum capacity of 3 watches (44mm wide for the black and 42mm for the brown version) or a combo of two watches and extra straps etc.

    All Italian leather are saddle stitched to ensure maximum robustness.

    Last but not least, each roll is equipped with its own NATO strap, they are removable from the watch roll and can be used as an extra strap on your vacation! There are various colors for your selection on the site, though each colors have limited supplied so grab them before your color is gone! Perfect for utilizing all those NATO straps you got and customizing your look.

    A rolled up comparison of the two rolls with the same watches as shown on the top pic. If you are on this forum, you probably can identify what those watches are with your eagle eyes ;) (Ginger Ale and watches sold separately)

    If you are still reading this, I am very grateful! It took more than 10 years to“de-Beige” the computer case, hopefully I can disrupt the watch accessory world in less than that time with your help. At this time, I am still working on the display case and will keep you all posted. My goal is to provide thoughtful watch related products that are worthy of its content, even if you guys end up not making any purchases I would be really grateful if you can help spread the word. There are more detail specs of the watch rolls on the website at www.curiosupplycompany.com Please note that there is currently a special introductory sale going on and I strongly recommend checking them out as the sale ends at the end of the month. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

    Finally, I would like to thank the forum for this facility.

    Cheers,

    Alex

    With out doubt the nicest watch rolls I have seen. Simple and elegant. I don't need one at all but seriously considering it. Can't wait to see the watch boxes, because I need one of those but haven't been able to find one that I like a lot. Best of luck with the business

    Howdy, Alex,

    Beautiful rolls you have there! Got any with honey cinnamon?;) :D

    I'm good already with travel rolls, but I will anxiously await the box :)!

    Bump. The black leather with brown stitching and the brown leather with white stitching are sold out. Get them while they are still available.

    Very nice work Alex. At GTG I attend most seem interested in rolls that hold 6-8 watches. Do you have plans for further products?

    @cicindela Thanks, Steve. And thank you for the tips! Some of the other feedback that I have received is that the slots should also accommodate 47mm diameter watches. I am currently working on a desktop display case prototype at the moment and a larger carrier is certainly in the future. On a related note, what are some of the qualities that you (or anyone for that matter) look for in the desktop display watch case?

    I know we are not too keen on surveys here and kept the survey over at TimeZone, here is the link if anyone wants to comment over there: http://forums.timezone.com/index.php?t=tree&goto=7159334&rid=24091#msg_7159334

    or feel free to PM me. Thanks!
