The 8-compartment watch box format is the missing link between the starter box and the collector's display: two models in our range, both in genuine wood, one of which features a jewellery drawer. It is the quintessential square format: approximately 24 to 28 cm per side, and fits anywhere.

Two 8-compartment watch boxes, two philosophies

The Ravello walnut (23.7 × 21.5 × 11.7 cm, 2 kg) adds beneath its glass top a sliding jewellery drawer: 8 watches on top, rings and bracelets below, within the footprint of an A4 sheet. The Milan espresso (28 × 24 × 12.5 cm, 1.8 kg) focuses entirely on solid wood and metal hinges: no drawer, but generous cushion height for thick cases.

Why 8 rather than 6 or 10?

Moving from 6 compartments (single row lengthwise) to 8 changes the geometry: square tray 2 × 4, deeper, less long. A standard dressing drawer will accommodate it without overhang. And unlike the 10-compartment format, the 8-place wooden box retains here the jewellery drawer option, otherwise reserved for larger formats such as the Bellagio 12-compartment.

Wood, and why it dominates this format

Walnut and solid wood naturally buffer humidity fluctuations, a real advantage for leather straps stored in contact with it. Expect 1.8 to 2 kg when empty: these boxes are designed to stay in place, away from direct sunlight. To transport part of your collection, complement with a watch travel pouch (from 150 g). All our formats are compared in the complete watch box guide and gathered on the watch boxes page.

Yes, the sliding drawer is lined with felt and partitioned: rings, earrings and fine bracelets do not mix. It complements the 8 watch slots on the glass top, making it the all-in-one solution for a bedside table or chest of drawers, without multiplying storage boxes.
Perfectly: the cushions compress and accommodate fine straps and cases of 24 to 32 mm without excessive play. For a his-and-hers pair, this format is the right compromise: 4 slots each, shared drawer for jewellery on the Ravello version.
On a stable piece of furniture, at hand height, away from direct sunlight and away from the bathroom. When full, the box exceeds 3 kg: avoid light floating shelves. The ideal location remains a dressing room or chest of drawers in a room with stable humidity, between 45 and 65%.
Yes: an automatic simply stops when at rest, with no damage whatsoever, and restarts with a few turns of the crown. If certain pieces with date or moon phase must remain accurate, add a dedicated winder for those; the 8-place box remains the storage base for the rest of your collection.
