Anybody got any recommendations for a nice watchbox that can be easily sourced in Blighty? 8 slots as a minimum, ideally windowed. I’m not bothered about a lock.

I have an Aevitas one bought on Amazon and it’s a bit disappointing. It’s nice to look at but poorly executed. The cushions don’t fit flush into the slots and the cushions themselves are quite inflexible so some of my watches don’t fit properly onto them.

Pics would be great. Alternatively anybody know of any shops in London where I could go and have a look?

Funnily enough I’ve just been looking at these in JL

Not windowed but I was impressed with the quality and looks to be a big range of options so one might suit your needs.

I’ve got the three watch version. Nicely made and decent quality.

Only issue is that the cushions are narrower than the slots so they don’t fit snugly and the watches can “rock” in the slots. Cushions are soft but with hard sides.

I’m happy with it however.

I noticed that on one of the style but found them tight on the 8 watch box.

Agree for the price the quality is good.

Hillwood boxes in the UK... I bought a 6 watches 2nd on eBay for £75 and you wouldn't know it was it was that nice. I think they're worth a look.

Just a box, or a winder too? Ebay UK has tons of options...

Finding a box isn’t the problem, as you say there are loads online and it’s how I sourced my current box. However it had good reviews yet it still isn’t really a great product. Hence I’m interested in posters’ personal recommendations. I probably didn’t make that clear in the OP.

I received this 6 watch winder as a gift from my wife about 5 or 6 years ago. It is not as expensive as Wolf or Orbita, but has survived non-stop use in the time I’ve owned it. It looks good, although I’m sure the wood grain is veneer or fake.

It has a drawer that stores an additional 4 watches, for 10 total.

Pangaea also has versions for fewer watches. Good luck with the search!

I bought this one online and absolutely love it. Very high quality and I like the holders for the watch, keeps them very uniform and locks in place.

Lots of options window/no window leather/wood. The best watch box I have found is Mutch n Marc as the pillows are fitted sponge that can take large or small watches meaning I can get he wife and I’s Collection in one box
