Which watch company has the best presentation in terms of the box you get with the watch. I have seen Rolex and Panerai but not the others. Whose is the best?

superdog · 30 November 2017, 12:50 PM

I really appreciate the presentation put on by omega.

Cartier too.

jrs146 · 30 November 2017, 01:23 PM

Patek is pretty impressive

Patek by far. Their wooden boxes are as artistic and solid quality as their watches

Houstongator · 30 November 2017, 02:06 PM

I’m impressed with Tissot.

Star Ferry · 30 November 2017, 02:09 PM

the Rolex boxes are relatively basic

My boxes from AP, IWC were nicer. but I think this is a marketing tactic to make the watch seem like a meaningful & significant item. The value of a Rolex is self-explanatory to most people, hence no special box necessary

I don't worry too much about boxes, but I do think the throwback cork box from Patek (for their anniversary Nautilus in platinum) is a cool touch

I definitely agree with you regarding Cartier.

I ordered a watch from Cartier for my wife for Christmas a couple years ago and I had them wrap it and ship it to my work, all I did was hide it under the tree. The presentation was really top notch and when she saw that red Cartier box she was blown away.

Speedy pro.

No contest.

At the other end of the market, I like the leather-and-canvas watch rolls that Dan Henry watches come packaged in. Something I can actually use.

dddrees · 30 November 2017, 03:10 PM

Based on those I’ve received so far:

Rolex
Omega
IWC
Panerai
Breitling
JLC
AP
Patek

Patek by far, but as with all the other boxes I haven’t seen it since I received the watch and placed the box in storage just like all of the other watch boxes that go with the watches I own.

Danny83 · 30 November 2017, 03:32 PM

I like the Tudor boxes

That is a beautiful roll, never seen anything quite like that.

Thanks for exposing me to Dan Henry too, noted! :)

I have a couple now...the tough cannisters they come in are quite handy too. A bullet-proof package for travel.

very classy

Yes! I want this so bad just because of the whole presentation!

Patek wins this category easily.

MonBK · 1 December 2017, 12:37 AM

How do you beat a Rolex "box" like this?

FTX I · 1 December 2017, 12:43 AM

I used to love the Omega red box. I could store my watches with opened bracelets there without issues. I have small wrists and it's impossible to close the watch bracelet inside a modern Rolex box. Not enough 'vertical' room to store it with an opened bracelet. Unfortunately no more red boxes in my collection.

Wow, that is a nice set up

daveathall · 1 December 2017, 02:21 AM

If I'm honest, I would rather there be 500 quid off the price of the watch and no box. Mine are just kept under the stairs anyway.

seal13il · 1 December 2017, 10:23 PM

I think my Patek and Franck Muller by far

armen34 · 2 December 2017, 03:02 AM

JLC limited editions have nice boxes similar to omega speedy pro that are really nice

GB-man · 2 December 2017, 03:47 PM

Def Patek. They’re gorgeous.
