After choosing the Marathon TSAR as the latest occupant of my watch box, I went searching for a storage solution for the pocket watches that I've been handed down and the one modern example - an Orient CDD00001W, one of the only modern pocket watches I know of that features a sapphire crystal - I keep on hand for occasions where a wrist-bound watch simply won't do. Most boxes designed to store pocket watches have capacities far too large for my needs - usually in the 10 to 12 pocket watch range - so I went with a couple of single-watch glass cases from Amazon.
At just under $30, they're a reasonable storage and display option. I keep the aforementioned Orient in one, and my great-grandfather's vintage Omega pocket watch in another. It's a solid choice that keeps the watch well protected and nicely displayed, though getting the watch on the hook can be a little fidgety. I highly recommend it to anyone who has a pocket watch or two and wants a good place to keep them safe.
