Two new wooden watch etuis were made for Watch Collector. These first photographs show them before their interiors were fitted: the next step was an interior of the finest leather. Because of the nature of wood, every etui is a unique piece with its own pattern.

Watch Etui Teak, Silver Lining

Made of high-quality teak, with the pattern always centred – an important detail. The silver line set into the wood is made of 925 silver, the closing mechanism is of the highest quality, and the hinge is stainless steel.

The second etui follows the same principles: the pattern centred, a precise closing mechanism and a stainless steel hinge.
