Hi my fellow horologists 
A while ago there was a link in here to a chap in Germany (I think) who was selling very nice watch cases in different wood finishes, as well as carbon fibre. He had lots of different sizes, and they were very reasonably priced too IIRC....
The time has come for me to get one, but I can't find his details anywhere....
Could anyone point me in the right direction?!!?
Thanks in advance,
Andy.

I bought one of his 12 watch carbon fibre boxes and it really is the mutts nuts!

My GF bought me a 6-watch case like this (not this brand, but 'Hillwood' brand, no idea if they're well known but the quality is very good) for Christmas some time ago. I'm not sure if the idea was a loving present to go with my fascinations.... or an incentive to only own 7 watches maximum at a time 
Great for storing your watches... but I have a habit of getting a 'favourite' watch and wearing it a lot, then changing for another few months, etc... - and I've been told that an automatic watch winder is a good idea.
Anyone know whether this is rubbish??? I'd have thought that letting an automatic or hand-wound watch run down would result in no further wear, since there is no motion. Keeping an automatic wound up artificially will cause wear, since the components are always in motion, no?

It's been covered to death on here - basic thoughts are that winders are good - these watches are supposed to be running all the time, so why stop them? If the oils are left, then they turn into a varnish, rather than a lubricant.
Fair enough, only decided to join in on here recently... I guess that's a polite way of saying 'use the search function' eh?
