The Accessories

Heirloom pocket watches should be displayed proudly, stored securely, and carried safely for future generations. We offer shelf stands for display, custom wooden cabinets for presentation, and leather straps to prevent your pieces from being dropped.

Cases and Storage

Display Cases

Show off your best watches in a custom-made display case using just about any design that you can imagine. It could be a mirrored wall display case, a presentation box, a cabinet for parts or glass crystals, or a storage chest with trays - all with your choice of hardwoods, finishes, hardware and even lighting.


Past and current customers only, please.

The Finishes

The Finishes

The Finishes

The choice is entirely yours how you want it to look. Your piece can be finished with aniline dyes, straight poly, pigment stains, or even left unfinished for you to complete in your leisure time.

The Lighting

The Finishes

The Finishes

Accent lighting is a must for any wall or desktop piece to show off your best pieces to perfection. It can be incandescent, low-voltage, or even LED, controllable with a remote or line switch.

The Hardware

The Finishes

The Hardware

The hinges, snaps, clasps, hooks, and whatever else the piece requires can be anything you desire in all available styles from oil-rubbed bronze to antique and bright brass to hammered black.  

Past Requests

There are no set prices on these, since they are all custom pieces based on the specifications of the customer. As always, watch repair and restoration comes first, so there is a waiting list for these items. Write us with your idea, and for pricing and lead times.

Leather Accessories

Braided Straps

Prevent tragedies with these supple straps, woven by hand from top-grain leather in your choice of lengths and colors. Keep one on each of your carry pieces and never drop a watch again. 


Current available colors are tan, russet, hickory, and black.

Shipped FREE anywhere in America.


Past and current customers only, please.

Single Color

Single Color

Single Color

This is a 4-strand braid using your choice of hides with a length of around 12 inches. It comes with an upper loop for your belt and a thinner lower loop that attaches to the bow on your watch.

$28 Each

Twin Color

Single Color

Single Color

We offer two-tone straps with either hide as the accent stripe, so pick your colors and ferrules.  These are also roughly 12 inches long and come with two loops to tether your watch to your belt.

$45 Each

Spring Snaps

Single Color

Spring Snaps

Secure your watch with a spring-loaded swivel snap in choices of warm brass or nickel silver. This means metal-on-metal contact, so get a bow protector, too. Matching rivet depends on the strap.

$15 Each

Split Rings

Trim Ferrules

Spring Snaps

Braided straps can be made with a 1-inch split ring instead of an upper belt loop for those who use a key safe on their belt. Matching brass or nickel eyelet.

$8 Each

Trim Ferrules

Trim Ferrules

Trim Ferrules

All braided leather straps come with your choice of a nickel or brass lower ferrule.  Black looks best with nickel, while the brass complements the brown straps.

Included

Upper Ferrule

Trim Ferrules

Trim Ferrules

The upper ferrule can be left off any single-color strap, since they're braided from one continuous strip of leather, or one can be added to match the required lower ferrule.

$3 Each

Bow Protectors

These are perfect for those who prefer chains because they prevent the metal-on-metal contact that grinds bows thin. Take your pick of leather colors and eyelet choices on these half-inch by two inch straps and keep one on every chain.

$5 Each

Domes and Stands

Display Domes

Glass domes are a great way to show off that special piece while keeping the dust to a minimum. The base can be turned from any species of wood and finished with a number of stains and sealers, or left unfinished for the DIY-ers. Display domes can also be used with other types of bases, like a tiered one with multiple hooks set at different heights, or even a powered base with rotating hooks.


Past and current customers only, please.


Starting at $35

Display Stands

Display your best pocket watches on these sturdy acrylic stands! Each one can hold an 18-size open-face or hunting watch.


Shipped FREE anywhere in America.

Quantity of 6 for $20
