Display Cases & Drawers for Watches.

As I understand it, truly dedicated watch collectors would argue that time pieces are not jewelry, 

but rather little packages of technology.  Personally, I am something of a maritime history buff 

and find fascination in the story of the invention of the first timepiece that was accurate enough 

to be used in navigation.  I don't often recommend books, but Dava Sobel's LONGITUDE is a must for either students of 

chronometry or ships and the sea.  Wonderful book!

Storing Valuable Replica Watches:

Whether they are jewelry or technology, watches are delicate and deserve  careful storage and a special display case.  

If you don't want to risk your valuable watches in a display case, check out my Multi-Depth Drawer Cases with 

various sized drawers for the varied collection -be it cheap replica watches or GrandPa's pocket watches.

Interesting Links:

International Association of Watch and Clock Collectors  This is one SERIOUS bunch of collectors.  Impressive web site.

Watch-Collector's Paradise    Another impressive web site -a little friendlier -but more stuff then I had the patience to surf.

Always fascinated me that people fiddled about with the insides of watches.  Talk about tiny and fussy.  The Watch Guy is such a person and has a great web site.

Abby Clocks has in incredible site with more then you would ever want to know about the workings of watches.  Additionally -a guy named Mark Headrick has a page with animations of  Escapements in Motion of a dozen or so different flavors.  Amazing
