What a watch box has to do
A cushion sized to the strap and clearance for the clasp. A deployant needs more room under the cushion than a pin buckle.
The moment it is opened
A watch box is often kept for the life of the watch, so construction matters more than on a gift box.
The mistake we correct most often
A cushion sized to the case and not to the clasp. A deployant needs more room under the cushion than a pin buckle, and it is the clasp that fouls first.
Saffiano leather on a watch box, specifically
A saffiano-wrapped watch box is the choice when the box will be carried rather than kept on a dresser. It resists the corner scuffs that a travelling box collects.
What varies between versions
A single cushion, a cushion with a document recess, or a roll for travel. Ask how the customer will use it before choosing.
Why saffiano leather for this
Saffiano is leather finished with a fine cross-hatch press and a protective coating. It is the most hard-wearing leather finish we use.
Putting your logo on saffiano leather
The coating means foil sits on the surface rather than sinking in, so a hot-stamp stays crisp. Deboss is shallower than on plain calf, by the nature of the finish.
Cutting the interior in saffiano leather
Wrapped over a rigid shell, with the cross-hatch running square to the box edge.
Wipe clean. It tolerates handling far better than an untreated hide.
