Watch Box

Nice! You’ll find warm comments from the box junkies on this site. I really like the look of it.

Makes me wish I had more than one watch!

Oooohh, Tom is right! Kudos from this box junkie!

That’s a great box! What woods did you use? Walnut and oak?

Very cool! I have a someone who wants me to build one of these but also wants the “watch winding” hardware installed. I need to get on the net and find a company that sells those rotating mechanisms that move the watched around. Thanks for sharing!

Nice! I like the dovetails, and the glass top. Watches are my only jewlery item, I could use one of these…Was this a plan, or your idea?

Very nice watch case. Beautiful wood selection and craftsmanship.

Wonder where Don is? Anybody know – it’s unusual for him not to chime in on a beautiful box.

Thanks for the kind words. I did not have a plan and yes it is walnut and oak.

Hey, Bill, I’m here!

I’ve been studying boxes for some time and for me, this is a first. I can’t recall ever seeing a box made just for watches, though I can’t imagine why not – it’s a natural application.

John you are to be congratulated, a unique box, very nicely executed. I’m sure your bother must love this – I know I do, because I just love small wooden boxes.

Good to see you are still with us Don, I just hadn’t seen you post anything for a few days now and we’ve had some very lovely boxes posted recently – such as the great watch box John posted above.

Reed & Barton used to manufacture a couple of different watch boxes (although not as nice as John’s) and I’ve sold quite a few in the past. Unfortunately they have closed their “Box Making” factory in MA and are now having all of their jewelry and silverware boxes made in China. It’s a shame – 92 people out of work now.

Really beautiful. You did a great job with blending grains. The drawers look terrific!
