Disclaimer: This is review of a watch box from David Innocente. I bought this box with my own money and am not receiving anything for this review.

It's been about 6 months since I fell down the rabbit hole and have bought and sold a few replicas. My collection is small but I wanted it to be presented in the right way. So I searched the internet for a nice watch box. Surprisingly, I couldn't find anything I liked. Then I found David Innocente on Etsy.
I really liked the style of his boxes, sporty and classy. Not the usual stuff you'd find on ebay or amazon. Communication with David was great and he soon made me an offer for a box for 8 watches and some space for straps. It took me a while to jump over the fence as the price is on the high side and the EU customs take their toll. Finally I did order the box. It took Davod about ten weeks to build it and then another two weeks to ship it from Australia to Germany.

The box arrived very well packed like a real luxury item.
It is made of red painted steel with a white lib and American walnut. The finish is very well done, as is the wood.
The inserts fit loosely, which is fine by me.

The cabinet is of very high quality and impeccable. I can really recommend David Innocente to those who are looking for something special to store their watches.

Here are some pictures:

I was looking at these as well. How big are the cushions (circumference)? Most of my watches are on straps with deployants, at 17cm. Don’t want to put undue stress on them when they’re sitting in the box.

They are 19cm w/o and 18cm with light pressure. 17cm wouldn't fit out of the box. As David makes all custom, he might be able to make them to fit your needs.

I asked David if he could send smaller cushions that are suitable for my wrist. He pointed me to Tawbury, where I ordered a set of replacement cushions that fit.

So might be an option for you, too.
