Good weekend guys. Without realising, I have amassed about 8 pocket watches, just trying to look for proper collection box perhaps with a see through glass. Any suggestion? Thank you

Well, you could make one of these for your wall 🙄 Start with an antique bubble glass picture frame

Remove the creepy baby picture, and make a shadow box for it, then add a hinge

Put an old-timey photo as a backdrop and some hooks and there you go! Make a false front using a 2nd copy of the backdrop and heavy craft paper . You can use it to hide the watches when trades people (for example) are expected over

Slanted Cigar display with foam cavities in the shape of a pocketwatches. I found one at a thrift store. The foam was from a guy at a NAWCC watch show. Displays 15 watches.

I also found one of these on e$bay 15 years ago. Handmade by a carpenter

Or if you are displaying lots of watches, put legs under a cabinet such asi show, and make a coffee table out of it. Or put cup hooks into it and hang it on a wall.

Talking storage rather than display, I have several cases like the one shown. Since I don’t have my watches on display in our home, these cases work fine for me, for storage in my vault, as well as for transport when I do have them on display, as shown in my previous post in this thread.
