You know the guy. He owns a watch that could serve as a down payment on a flat. Whether it’s a vintage Rolex inherited from a long-lost uncle or a brand-new Audemars Piguet, he cherishes it. But this creates a terrifying problem: where does the precious timepiece live when it’s not on his wrist? Tossing it on the nightstand next to loose change and lint? The horror!





Enter the Hard Graft Collector’s Watch Case (£159), a solution so luxurious it’s almost comical. This isn’t just a case; it’s a tiny, Italian-made penthouse for a watch. The exterior is wrapped in rich, vegetable-tanned leather that smells of artisanal craftsmanship and good decisions. Inside, it’s lined with Alcantara so soft it would make a billionaire’s bathrobe jealous. The whole thing is padded in all the right places and features a special “no-scratch” zip, because God forbid the zipper offends the watch.




With the last of the summer holidays upon us, it’s the perfect travel companion. It even doubles as a display stand, allowing the watch to sit majestically on a hotel desk, silently judging all his other possessions. For £159, you’re not just buying a watch case. You’re buying peace of mind for the man whose timepiece has a better home than most people. It’s the ultimate accessory for his ultimate accessory.
