The grained navy blue calfskin reminds us of the colours of the Atlantic Ocean and the harbour of La Rochelle, where A Collected Man spent several summers – drinking porto with ice and cycling along its sandy beaches.
This watch case can hold up to four watches. Produced using a firm external frame and grained calfskin leather, it’s tanned to a deep navy blue colour. The case is secured by a concealed, coil zip in matching colour, which - while keeping the case compact - allows the two sides to lay completely flat and to comfortably store and access the watches.
The two-part interior has a supple, matching blue lining, separated by a grained calfskin and suede divider, with watch-shaped, padded cushioning. This can be snap-closed, ensuring that the watches in the upper compartment are securely held in place.
The recesses for the watches are thoughtfully designed and neatly lined with soft, navy blue suede. The deep recesses are 22 mm (2.2cm) in depth, and feature a lower compartment for the strap and a stepped system for the watch case and crown. This allows for the watches to lay flat, without causing damage to the strap, or the case and crown. The recess should comfortably fit pieces with case sizes up to 45 mm. Please note that these cases were designed with watches on straps in mind, and may not accommodate watches on bracelets.
This classic watch case is also available in grained tan leather, as well as grey and taupe nubuck.
