Beautiful boxes and I'm sure they'll love them, especially when made by you.

On another note..I guess I'm old and don't see the value of having a bunch of watches. I wear the same one for years until it breaks. The last 5 years or so, I've worn a Samsung smart watch that I've upgraded a couple of times because of new features. I only take it off to shower and charge it. A watch box would be wasted on me.

BTW..GET OFF MY LAWN!

I haven’t worn one since I retired 22 years ago but I guess it’s a thing with some people

Great watch display box.  Watches are definitely a thing for some people; they spend silly money on them.  Of course I spend silly money on tools .  This is the one I wore for nearly 40 years as a nerd-for-hire. 

It has had several bands but the watch itself has never failed.  It was kind of a subtle thumb your nose at the necktie crowd . . . I have a weird sense of humor.  Now-a-days I just use the clock on my phone.

Those are some really nice boxes Dave.

I could of very easily gone done the rabbit hole of collecting different watches, but I have one money pit that is my shop and another that is a model railroad.

Beautiful work, Dave! What sort of closures did you use?

[treeslayer]

thanks @wtnhighlander No sort of closure just some small stopped hinges on the top

Nice work.  I like how the walnut brings out the spalt lines, and the walnut & cherry work well together, too.

(Watch guy, but only one, it's atomic).
