A collection kept the way it deserves to be kept under glass, in order, in view. The case is turned from close-grained hardwood and finished in a warm honey stain that lets the grain read through; the lid is framed and glazed, hinged on solid brass that takes its weight and holds it open. Inside, charcoal suede cushions hold each strap at the curve of a wrist, so a watch rests in the shape it is worn rather than lying flat. It sits low enough for a dresser and closes with a quiet, deliberate weight.
