An impressive collection.
Do you also have the watch to go with each box, or are some boxes just for collecting? I love the early 1950s Omega box.
Boxes, boxes, and more boxes: a difficult topic in vintage watch collecting. Most people - understandably - at some point got rid of them......

Superb post
Yes box and papers are super nice extra in vintage world and more and more rare. Excellent collection of boxes my friend

Yes, but like the Geomatic or the Geophysic...
It's easy to match since they have dedicated boxes. Or like that Polaris! Best Blomman ...
This is a 1940s box.
In the 50s you have the blue/white, which was used all the way into the 1960s. Best Blomman
Or box especially shaped for the ....
"Watch"! Such a fun and endless game! Best Blomman ...

No, no! I do not collect empty boxes. I have the watches that go withe them. More watches than....
