Tips for Displaying Your Watch Collection

Once you have bought over watch for your collection, it is time (pardon the pun) to start thinking about the way you will display and protect your collection.


For small collections, it may be tempting to put them away in a drawer, but there's some nice reasons why this ought to be avoided. Things that are tossed in a drawer tend to get forgotten and sometimes lost. They may even become damaged from other items in the drawer or box. This is true in case you go in to the drawer or box often for other items. Leaving watches on a shelf is not a nice suggestion either. A nice case will protect your watch collection from dust and other incidents. The last thing you need is to damage your collection from carelessly storing them.


If your collection is small - under twenty items, then there's lots of affordable choices. These can be found online with a rapid search and range in cost from $30 dollars to over $100. Wood boxes come in a variety of colors to match any décor. Glass tops are nice feature because everyone will be able to see your collection and admire it without having to actually open the box. All kinds of other choices exist to from acrylic standing cases to black snake skin watch cases. Look for the lining to be made of a soft material to prevent scratching any parts of your watches.


Another reason to display your collection is that it is much simpler to show it off and share your new found hobby with others if it is in a proper display case. A pleasant display case also enhances your décor and can become a focus for any room.


One time your collection grows beyond 36 or so you'll need more cases. However, in case you need to keep your collection all under case, then you'll need to become creative in the way you display your collection. I have not found lots of huge display cases. thing you can try is to buy a display case from a business and change it to meet your needs.


In case you wear your watch collection and need them in working order, then you'll be wanting to inquire in to watch winding storage boxes. These are designed to both display your watch and keep it prepared to wear. The automatic winders in these boxes are made so that they do not overwind your watch because they come with a timer that prevents it. Keep in mind that most watch display cases do not fit huge sized watches - e.g. watches in excess of 45-50 mm or watches with long straps for larger men. If this describes your situation, you'll need to search for a display case specifically designed for larger watches. The Huge Journal from watches.com is an example of such display case.


Whatever you choose, it is worth investing in proper display cases to protect your watch collection. After all, you have got a precious collection - worth displaying with pride!
