How to Properly Store Men’s Watches

Men who own attractive and luxurious watches need to be able to store then in safe locations. For many men, their investment timepieces are the most valuable jewelry they have besides their wedding bands. In order to keep the watches in pristine condition, it is vital to keep them stored properly. If they are left laying about on tables or countertops, they can be quickly damaged from excessive dirt and grime or even from accidental water damage. At Chasing Treasure, we offer a wide variety of beautiful, handmade, heirloom quality jewelry boxes designed to protect watches. But, a high quality jewelry box is not always enough for valuable watches.

While storing watches, it is important to keep the timepieces apart from other jewelry. When items are stored next to each other, they can become damaged by rubbing together. Even stainless steel timepieces can be damaged. If you still have the original boxes that the watches came in, those are ideal to use for safe storage. The small pieces inside of watches require users to take good care of them. Otherwise, it is best to put your valuable watches in separate compartments or on watch rolls.

Another useful way to store watches is on a winder. There are several automatic watch winders that are available for different types of watches. Many of the newest watches automatically wind while through the movement of the body. So, as the body moves, the tiny pieces inside of the watch keep the watch on time. There are cases that will keep watches winding automatically, as if you were wearing them. These automatic watch winders can be put inside of watch cases to keep them ticking on time. Fortunately, many of the best watch winders can be added to display cases so they look great while they are being wound.


If you have an extremely valuable collection of watches, it can be helpful to store them in a locked safe. Many of our smaller jewelry boxes can fit securely inside of a small safe. Some of the watch cases can also be locked. While this is no substitute for a real, secure safe, a locked jewelry box can provide some respite from hands that might be curious enough to look into a jewelry box. If you do decide to store watches in your safe, you might also want to investigate the best way to insure your valuable property.


At Chasing Treasure, we take pride in offering a wide variety of extremely safe jewelry boxes designed just for valuable men’s watches. We understand that many men have watches that have been passed down through the generations and that they have become family heirlooms. While you might be tempted to store your valuable watches in cigar boxes or other make-shift jewelry boxes, our boxes are designed especially for jewelry. On the inside, they have tarnish-resistant cloth and the exterior hardwoods are constructed to last. You can trust that our quality jewelry boxes are the best options for maintaining the integrity of your favorite time pieces.

Unique Holiday Gift for Him? Try a Beautiful & Elegant Watch Case!

Solid Cherry Watch Box with Glass Top

Coming up with a gift for the man who has (almost!) everything can be difficult, and sometimes we default to an old stand-by:  t-shirt, socks, gift certificate. But we’d like to suggest this idea:  an elegant watch case.  Did you know that, according to Timex, the average man in the U.S. owns 5 watches? This is the one indulgence that men everywhere seem to have, but why?  Well, it seems that men (generally, not all) prefer function as fashion.  They will typically have two higher end watches for work or formal events, a medium brand digital watch for knocking around on the weekend, a sport’s watch, and a very casual watch.  In the case of pilots or SCUBA divers, they’ll also have a watch that acts as a tachymeter (to measure ground speed) and timer (to measure decompression times).  More recently, we have watches that also track biometrics:  heart rate, sleep pattern, steps, etc.

Given the number of watches that a typical man owns, a natural gift is a watch case. Men’s watch boxes come in a variety of sizes and capacity, as well as materials like cherry, burl wood, maple, teak and leather. The most popular ones are the classic leather boxes, though more and more have a glass top on the men’s watch box.  Others may prefer solid tops with locks, especially if the watches are expensive (and numerous).  A nice addition to a watch box is a pull out drawer, which can keep cleaning supplies, pocket change, or money clips.

If you purchase a mens watch box for him, a great idea is to add an engraving with his initials or a message. As a real surprise, add a new watch to the inside of the box before you wrap it:  two gifts in one!

And if he’s a connoisseur of higher end watches (self-winding, or automatic, watches), consider a watch winder as well.

 This Christmas season, Chasing Treasure has terrific values on a large variety of men's watch storage boxes that cross the pricing spectrum to provide wonderful value at almost every price point. Our wide choice of men's watch boxes at Chasing Treasure means you are sure to find the perfect watch box that will have a lasting impact on that special man.

Watch Box with Drawer

Gorgeous Cases for People who Love Watches

When it comes to jewelry, everyone has a personal preference for the type and number of pieces worn. Some people love rings while others prefer necklaces. However, the one piece of jewelry that is classy, timeless, and worn to enhance appearance or make a statement by both men and women is the watch. Whether you own an expensive watch worth $10,000 or a department store special you paid $20 for, it would be worth storing it in a watch case.

In fact, a watch case is recommended for inexpensive and expensive watches for the same reasons. The box is designed to keep the face from accidentally getting scratched but also to keep dust out of watch mechanisms to keep it running perfectly. Interestingly, many people are unaware that watch cases are even made and sold. Now, you could always purchase an actual jewelry box if wanted, but if the goal were simply to keep your watches safe, organized, and protected, a more logical approach would be a watch case.

Personal Choice

Just as you have a personal style in the brand and type of watch worn, you would have a preferred style of watch case. Because there are cases made from a variety of materials, sold in different colors, and designed to hold a varying number of watches, you would have no problems finding several perfect boxes. Of course you could choose whatever design you like best but to keep things simple and make it easier to see the watch being stored, we recommend choosing a box with a display window.

Below we list some examples of popular watch boxes that you might consider but before that, we wanted to provide information about two unique features available on the higher quality cases. First are locks, something definitely needed for the more expensive or hard-to-find watches. Second are quadrant hinges that are hidden, giving the case a more sophisticated look.

If you have never owned a watch case before or if it has been years since buying one, you will be pleasantly surprised at the wide selection available. Remember, there is no right or wrong choice, simply you having the opportunity to choose the box that would provide your prized watch the best protection possible.

o    Octagon Watch Box – This is a smart looking watch box designed to store a single watch. Not only would this be perfect if you have just one watch to protect, it makes a great gift for someone typically hard to buy for. This box may be small in size but it is definitely huge in craftsmanship and luxury. Key features include a high-gloss cherry finish, tan silsuede lining, brass compass hinges, and a single pillow on which the watch rests.

o    Wooden Watch Box – If you are a serious watch collector, this box holds up to 15 watches and accessories. In addition to the glass display window making it possible for you to quickly find the right watch for any occasion, the style is such that it would be acceptable for both men and women. This case is made from cherry, each slot is padded, it boasts a gliding drawer with four unique storage sections, the lining is ivory sueded fabric, the drawer pull has a beautiful gold tone, and the top section features a key lock.

o    Black Leather Watch Box – Although sold as a man’s watch case, many women also love the sleek leather and basket weave designed lid. Some of the primary features of this six-watch case includes the compact yet functional size, high quality craftsmanship, pillows for each watch, security lock, and silsuede lining that is tarnish resistant.

o    Man’s Fine Leather Travel Box – For a businessman who travels and needs to impress, this watch case would be an ideal choice. Designed to hold up to three watches, this box is made from Nappa leather. The tan colored leather is stylish yet trendy, making it perfect for the younger generation. This watch case is designed to hold up to three watches and has a display window, snap closure, soft lining, and divided storage sections for watches but also bracelets, cufflinks, and rings. If wanted, this particular case can be personalized with one name or three initials, which is why it has become a popular gift.

Father's Day Gift Ideas - Unique Gifts for Dad

Are you looking for some new gift ideas for Father's Day and would you like to give something more than the classic silk tie?  If you answered "yes" to these questions then read on and I will share with you my personal picks for Father's Day gifts.

Does your dad have a men's valet box or valet tray? First, you might want to know what a valet box is. It is the men's version of a women's jewelry box. All men have accessories such as cuff-links, tie-clips, watches and cell phones as well as keys, loose change and other items that can get messy if there is no way to organize them. Valet trays and valet boxes were made to store these accessories neatly.

Valet trays and boxes are usually placed on dresser tops. There are two basic styles. One type has an open top with several compartments and the other kind is a box with compartments with a top that closed and/or locks. Some of the valet boxes also feature charging stations for cell phones and other electronic devices. The trays and boxes are typically made out of wood or in some cases leather and are good looking as well as being extremely useful.

The price ranges of valet trays and boxes begin around $45, the most popular price range is between $75-$200 and at the higher end of the scan you will spend around $300 for an elegant handcrafted valet.

While we're talking about watches, another possibility for Father's Day is a travel watch case. A good example is the black leather five watch travel case made by RaGar. It is leather and available in either black or brown and fits neatly into a suitcase. If your dad likes to take his watches on trips, then this is a perfect gift which he will appreciate for a long time to come.

There is one more item in the watch category and it is a watch-winder. Watch winders are storage devices for self-winding watches. The watch winder boxes are powered by batteries or ac adapters and provide gentle motion to the stored watches so that they will always be ready to use even if they have not been worn for several weeks. Watch winders cost anywhere from $200 and up, but they are definitely a prized item for those people with several self-winding watches.

Whichever valet box or watch case that you choose, see if you can get one with a personalized engraved name plate. This is a free option on some of our most popular boxes and it provides a nice personal touch to the gift.

So, these are my suggestions for Father's Day and now it is up to you to start looking for the best possible gift.

The Perfect Gift for the Watch Collector

We all know how hard it is to find the perfect gift for someone who seems to have everything. Nothing seems right or is a duplicate item to something they already have. And for women, we all know how difficult it can be to find a gift for our men. It can be so frustrating! But for the watch collector in your life, Chasing Treasure has a great gift item that you are going to love giving!

The Watch Winder is a very neat concept for those that love watches and own a lot of them. There are some automatic watch styles that work from the movement of your wrist and the analog watches are wound from impulses in your arm when they are being worn. A watch winder box is great for these types of watches that need movement to keep them in working order so they are available to be worn all the time, displaying the precise time.

Since watch collectors cannot wear every watch they own every day, the automatic and analog watches may wear down and the mechanisms inside can stop the watch. The Watch Winder is a lovely box that automatically rotates the watch side to side for you on a turntable. Many of these boxes even have timers so you can set them to move at a specific amount of time on a daily basis.

Our Watch Winder boxes are gorgeous pieces made from premium grade woods, polished in high gloss finishes. There are single watch winders and double cases too.  We also offer a beautiful leather case that holds four watches for storage as well as the watch winder. It is a fabulous German crafted piece that any watch lover would be thrilled to own.

When a gift for a hard to please person now comes up on your gift list, take a look at Chasing Treasure and the unique selection of gorgeous watch winders and storage cases.  Impressive!
