    Hello everyone, first post!

    I'm really sorry if this topic comes up a lot but I've just bought my first IWC (and first high end) watch. It's a Spitfire chrono in steel with the metal bracelet (IW387804) which I'll add the leather strap to next week.

    Anyway, needless to say the first time I flew with it I shoved it in my bag at security and scratched the case back. Lesson learned. Just wondered what members would recommend for a decent watch box for home (5 watches) and a travel case for 1 or 2 watches. I only need to protect the case back on my IWC, my (brilliant) G-shock can look after itself, but its somewhere to stop it and others getting lost.

    Thanks in advance, feel free to point me in the direction of previous threads if needs be!

    Welcome to the forum, and congratulations on the purchase of your nice watch!

    You can check out the discussion thread "What do you do with your IWC in the airport safety control?" in this forum about airport issues.

    Sometimes I used to put my watch in a nice thick tennis sock to travel. Over time, I have had so many Omegas serviced and Omega return the watches in a fantastic zippered pouch that has a cushion inside, with slots for the bracelet. I now travel with my watches in hese pouches.

    Hallo,
    You need a watch case custom made for luxury watches both while you are storing them at home or when you are travelling. You should have a look at watch box at dltradingau.com.au/product-category/luxury-watch-case/ perfectly suited for your requirement.

    We had here similar questions before, I only can repeat:

    For watch boxes I have my personal favourites...

    Kind regards

    Ralph

    P.S.: The system also works fine for wrist watches, but as I have more PW than WW and WW are smaller, the box for WW needs only to be a bit smaller...

    Congrats on the Spitfire, that’s a great first high-end watch.
    For home, a padded 5-slot watch box with soft lining should keep the case and bracelet protected.
    For travel, I’d choose a compact 1–2 watch case with separate cushioned compartments.
    Custom Packaging Pro UK also has some useful watch box and presentation packaging ideas worth checking for reference.
    A snug fit and soft interior matter more than the outer look when protecting a valuable watch.
