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 馃檮 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鈥檛 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.
