So you’ve finally bitten the bullet and bought your first watch. The only problem is, now you’re addicted. Before you know it, you’re tossing four, eight, even twelve timepieces into a drawer that needs organising. Fitted with luxurious linings, watch boxes do a great job at protecting your collection, but watch rolls have the added benefit of being travel-friendly.
That being said, the sheer volume of choice on offer can be overwhelming. So we’ve shortlisted the ones we recommend to keep your collection safe and secure.
Bamford London
With space for up to four watches, Bamford London’s rolls are wrapped in either decadently soft calfskin or hard-wearing canvas—the latter is especially robust and durable. If you prefer calfskin, up the ante with Bamford’s extensive selection of colourful interiors.
Bennett Winch
Designed to hold one, two or three timepieces, these suede-lined rolls by Bennett Winch are housed using Tuscan leather panels cut from hand-selected hides. A flexible Kevlar core ensures a structured silhouette, which offers greater protection for your tickers.
Bezelhold
Oh, boy. Now we’re getting into the upper echelons of watch rolls. Based in Hong Kong, Bezelhold’s decadent designs come in four colours: “Midnight”, “Emerald”, “Ultramarine” and “Shadow”. Sumptuous linings range from pillar box-red to cobalt-blue.
Brunello Cucinelli
Revered for its Italian craftsmanship, Brunello Cucinelli’s choice of grained calfskin gives its rolls a rich and refined texture. Simply slip your favourite timepiece onto the water-resistant, suede-effect fabric and you’re good to go.
Heisse & Söhne
Well-suited for travel and at-home, Heisse & Söhne’s watch rolls are padded with soft velar to keep your collection safe from dust and scratches. With space for three timepieces, choose from leather pulp colours including chocolate-brown.
Scatola Del Tempo
Turning a necessity into luxury, Scatola Del Tempo made headlines for producing watch winders in the early 1990s. Fast forward to today, and the Italian label is just as well known for its fashion-forward rolls cushioned with full-grain leather.
Lorenzi Milano
From beetle-shaped cufflinks to travel shaving kits, Lorenzi Milano is famous for life’s little luxuries. Experts in preserving artisanal craftsmanship, the brand’s leather rolls are made in its Italian workshop. Unwrap yours to adjust the handy internal strap.
Smythson
A supplier to the British royal family, Smythson of Bond Street has been handling supple leathers since 1887. Crafted from premium calf leather, personalise your Smythson watch roll with gold-stamped initials.
Wolf
One of the biggest names in watch accessories, Wolf offers rolls rendered in python-embossed cowhide for collectors who want something that little bit different. The rest of us can opt for classic smooth leather variations layered with ultra-suede lining.
