Luxury Watch Boxes for the Discerning Collector

Pick a box with a few spare slots. If you own six watches, an 8-watch box leaves room for your collection to grow. Tempus boxes hold from 5 to 18 watches, so there's a size for every collector — whether you're storing a Rolex Submariner, an Omega Seamaster, or a growing collection of Seikos.

Many are. Most use a simple key lock on the front, and we also have biometric boxes that open with your fingerprint for extra security. All Tempus watch boxes come with our 3-year warranty covering locks, hinges, and linings.

No. Each watch sits in its own cushioned slot with a soft velvet or leather lining, so your watches never touch each other. The cushions are removable and adjustable to fit everything from a 36mm Tudor Black Bay to a 44mm Breitling Navitimer.

A watch box stores and displays your watches safely. A watch winder keeps an automatic watch running by rotating it — for example, a Rolex Daytona needs 650 TPD bi-directional. Many collectors use both: a winder for daily-wear automatics and a box for the rest of the collection.

Yes, all Tempus watch boxes include a 3-year warranty covering manufacturing defects. If anything goes wrong with the lock, hinges, or lining in normal use, we'll repair or replace it.

Yes, all UK orders ship free in protective packaging. Your watch box arrives pristine and ready to use. Full details are on our shipping page.

A watch winder is a device that gently rotates an automatic watch to help keep its movement wound while it is not being worn. Automatic watches use a rotor to wind the mainspring, and a watch winder provides movement that can help maintain their power reserve.

A watch winder is optional rather than essential. It is most useful if you rotate between several automatic watches or want to reduce how often you reset the time and calendar after a watch stops. A watch can also be allowed to stop and then wound and set according to its manufacturer's instructions. Explore our range in the watch winders collection.

Watch winders are designed for automatic mechanical watches. Standard quartz watches do not need winding, and a winder cannot wind a traditional manual-wind watch. For an automatic watch, check the manufacturer's recommended winding direction and turns per day before choosing your settings.

Turns per day, often shortened to TPD, describes the number of rotations a watch winder makes over a day. Different automatic movements have different winding requirements, so use your watch manufacturer's guidance rather than assuming one setting suits every watch. Tempus winders offer programmable TPD settings to match your specific movement.

Automatic watch movements may wind clockwise, counterclockwise or in both directions. Choose a watch winder with settings that match your watch's requirements. If you are unsure, check with the watch manufacturer or an authorised service centre.

No. Tempus watch winders use quiet precision motors designed to run whisper-quiet, making them suitable for a bedroom or office. Many of our customers keep their winders on a nightstand without any disturbance.

Start with the number of automatic watches you want to keep wound, then check winding settings, cushion fit, power options and dimensions. For a collection containing different movements, look for independently adjustable settings so each watch can receive the appropriate winding programme. Browse by capacity in our watch winders collection.

A watch winder rotates automatic watches to help keep them wound. A watch box provides organised storage without winding the movement. Choose a winder for convenience between wears, or a watch box when your priority is storing and displaying your collection. See our luxury watch boxes for storage options.

Look for a secure closure, a suitable fit and compartments that keep watches separated. Check that the case accommodates your watches' case sizes and straps or bracelets. A travel case can help protect against everyday knocks and scratches, but it should not be treated as theft protection. Our watch cases and travel rolls are designed for exactly this.

Check the safe's security certification, dimensions, installation requirements and storage capacity. If it includes watch winders, also check their settings and power requirements. Before buying, ask your insurer whether the specific safe and its installation meet the requirements for your collection. A safe's grade alone does not guarantee insurance cover. Explore our watch winder safes.

Yes — our watch winder safes combine secure storage with built-in winders, so your automatic watches stay wound inside a locked, protected environment. This is the ideal solution for collectors who want both security and convenience.

Our winders and boxes are designed to accommodate standard men's and women's watch sizes, including oversized cases. The watch cushions are adjustable or spring-loaded to hold watches securely. If you have a particularly large or unusual watch, contact us with the case dimensions and we'll confirm compatibility.
