Since joining RWI I have become addicted to this hobby. I am no longer resisting my addiction I decided to combine my other hobby of woodworking to support my purchases. The first box I made held 12, then I moved on to the 36. My 36 watch box is full. Currently, I am working on making another one that will hold 72 watches. I will be using walnut instead of plywood.

silly really stupid question : are the watches fully secured there or do you rely on the fastening of the bracelet/strap ?

I have various boxes but my favorite is this Blue Ostrich box with calf suede lining. It is made in Italy by Schedoni of Modena. The retail price was originally several thousand dollars. I have had it many years.

Here is the link to Brookstone. I buy them when they have a 50% off sale twice a year.

Each watch has a medium density foam part that fits inside the bracelet or strap and left to right fits in the case. The watch cannot fall out.

anyone worry about the danger of using a watch winder due to there is magnet inside the electronics motor of the winder? the magnetic field may affect the health of the watches?

I have two 18 watch rainers, two of those 20 watch double story wooden cases, a pelican case for my G-Shocks and Ikea pullout drawer for the overflow plus straps, parts and tools.

I don't use winders. I don't see the point of wear and tear when not using the watch for months at a time.

[tkingjr]

I plan on keeping track of the process as I make the new one sometime this winter. My first step was to locate and buy the walnut is complete.

 

[fabbe79]

Agree you should sell them they are amazing!
Well done!
Did you consider to add a glass door to protect the watches from dust?

Yeah, I get that but I'd rather have a watch that lasted me longer than having to reset the date and time. Each to their own but I don't care much about the date and usually just set the time. I'll be wearing another watch a day or two later anyhow so I don't bother. I've had a few stems break on me so I try to only use them lightly. I don't think I've ever looked at the date on someone else's watch so I'm sure no one looks at mine. It's my own dirty little secret. If I owned a perpetual calendar I might consider a winder though.
