There’s nothing better than a great watch. It’s a functional accessory that has grown into an entire world of luxurious, sophisticated and status-symbol accessories worn daily for the aesthetic appeal. Some watches go beyond the aesthetic and time-telling spaces and have smart, fitness-tracking capabilities as well. No matter who you are or how you spend your days — there’s a watch suited for you. Whether it’s a lavish timepiece made of some of the world’s most precious metals or your go-to portable clock with a leather wrist wrap attached — you’ll need one of the best watch cases to protect it.
Storing a watch is a nuanced but important step in being able to successfully wear one of these common and sought-after accessories. Whether your watch has a high price tag or is a modest staple in your everyday wardrobe, a watch case is crucial for protecting it and extending its longevity. You want a watch box that’s made of protective materials, is easily portable in case you pack your time-telling accents and hit the road, and gives you piece of mind knowing your timepieces aren’t lying exposed on your dresser or bouncing around in a drawer somewhere. A watch case is also a super adult move and a real sign of maturity — you’ll have your accessory organization and, let’s be honest, whole life together once you’ve got one of these. Here are the best watch cases for safekeeping, exhibition and giving back to your gear in 2020 and beyond.
