Travel case for watches

Travel case for watches - Misterchrono Belgium

A watch case is often made from top-of-the-range materials (leather, fine wood, etc.) and its function is to protect one or more watches while showcasing them to their best advantage. A watch case is generally more luxurious than a watch box, with its refined aesthetics, or downright practical, like a carrying case.

Watch cases can be used :

  • To protect one or more watches on a daily basis

  • To protect one or more watches when travelling (business or pleasure)

  • To elegantly present and package a watch as a gift, such as the Traveller leather case from Buben & Zorweg.

A watch case is generally dedicated to high-end presentation and is the ideal packaging for frequent travellers. 

The three types of watch case

Watch cases can be classified into three families that meet the needs of enthusiasts and owners of luxury watches or watches with high sentimental value, ranging from elegant presentation to reinforced protection.

  1. Luxurious cases : These cases are designed to showcase watches in an elegant way while offering protection during transport. They are often made from noble materials, such as leather, and feature refined finishes. They allow watches to be moved with minimal risk of damage, while offering an aesthetically pleasing presentation.

    Example : The Kronokeeper Karoni 6-watch case. This genuine leather KronoKeeper travel case features a suede interior finish and a rigid leather exterior structure that guarantees optimum protection when travelling or for sedentary storage (home or office).

  2. Soft cases : This type of case is primarily designed for transporting watches, although it can also be used to protect watches at home from knocks and dust. Generally designed to hold a maximum of six watches, marmot cases are optimised for portability while offering adequate protection against knocks and scratches. Often made from fabric, leatherette or lightweight materials, these cases are ideal for travelling, allowing watch enthusiasts to transport their pieces in complete safety.

    Example : The Avel & Men marmot case for 3 watches. This leather travel case is designed for watch lovers who want to combine elegance and functionality when travelling for business or pleasure. Made from full-grain full grain leather with a cotton lining and technical cording, this case can hold up to 3 watches. The kronokeeper canvas case can carry and protect 6 watches.

  3. Suitcase cases : These cases have a reinforced rectangular structure, offering effective and stylish protection for watches. Some models include a locking system to ensure safety during transport. With their ergonomic handle, these cases are easy to carry. Models in waterproof composite material are real walking safes that are particularly suitable for travel or home storage, offering extra security and protection against the elements.

    Example : The Kronokeeper waterproof case in composite resin effectively protects up to 8 watches and guarantees security and resistance to water, air and dust.

How do I choose a watch case ?

When choosing a watch case, here are a few criteria to consider:

  1. Size of case : Find out whether you want a case for one or several watches. Some cases are designed for a single watch, while others can hold several pieces. 

  2. Materials : Examine the materials used to make the case. Cases made from leather, hard-wearing fabrics or waterproof materials will meet different needs. A fabric marmot will be very practical for protecting up to six watches during transport, while the rigid leather structure of a Karoni Kronokeeper case is designed to transport and protect up to 6 watches for storage at home or when travelling. 

  3. Design : Choose a design that matches your personal preferences. This can include options for colour, style and shape. 

  4. Additional features : Check whether the case offers additional features, such as adjustable cushions, a secure closure, or a reinforced and waterproof structure for frequent travellers.

  5. Price : Determine your budget and compare the options to find a watch case that matches the value of your watches and your lifestyle.
