Flip through your TV channels; pick up your smartphone; glance at the corner of your computer screen (which you can now find on your TV and your phone, too). You’ll see the time on an electronic banner digitally ticking away. As pervasive as time trackers are nowadays, luxury wristwatches and pocket watches remain elegant, distinctive, and functional jewelry pieces. (And for men, timepieces, like neckties, are also opportunities to add stylistic flourishes to formal wear). Custom wooden jewelry display cases designed for fine watches can also be elegant, distinctive, and functional pieces. In the hands of CustomMade artisans, these specialized custom jewelry boxes can range in style from the traditional to the whimsical.
This clever piece is actually a pocket watch hutch by Matthew D. Stein Woodworker designed as a miniature 17” tall grandfather clock. The pocket watch face becomes the clock face when it is stored. Your personal hutch will be custom made to fit, protect, and display your unique timepiece.
