Vintage Gold & Sage Green Suede Leather Watch Case

During initial research for this product we discovered that many of our competitors offered watch cases that could accommodate only a narrow portion of watch types, styles, and sizes. We didn’t want you to worry about finicky sizing or prohibitive design when developing this watch, so we ensured that it was compatible with essentially all wristwatches. Not only will this case fit your watch, it could even store the watches of a spouse, partner, or friend whose watch is a completely different size from your own.

The toothed leather insert that comes with your watch case provides the ideal support for your watch while it is in its case, ensuring a tight and secure fit. Correctly aligning your watch with this insert will ensure that it is held in place even while your traveling, preventing jostling and scratches to the face and case. This unique little piece of leather is actually the secret to how our watch case can fit watches of so many different sizes: its exact dimensions and tooth specifications were created to serve as a universal tool for a snug fit for any kind of watch. Whether your watch has a synthetic, fabric, leather, or metal band or bracelet, it will easily and securely fit onto this durable insert crafted from multiple layers of leather and proprietary stiffeners.

Unlike the bulky decorative box in which your watch originally came, our Fort Belvedere watch case was designed for gentlemen on the go. With an elegantly slim profile, it ensures maximum thinness without compromising on the layers of protective leather necessary to keep your watch secure. This case can be easily slipped into a carry-on bag, briefcase, attache case, or even jacket pocket with minimal bulkiness.

Inside and out, our cases are entirely from the best leather we could source carefully selected for its beautiful appearance and ideal functionality. The exterior of the case is wrapped in gorgeous aniline-dyed bovine leather that looks incredible and acts as the first line of defense for your watches; we proudly offer several color and texture options. The inside consists of suede leather in a bold, vibrant shade that cradles your watch securely. We decided to utilize bullhide suede following an extensive testing process. For instance, we originally considered lamb suede, but we found that it was too soft and wore down very quickly. The bullhide suede also exhibited a natural grippiness that was ideal for holding watches in place.

Suede is simply the best possible material with which to line a watch case. Naturally possessing a dense dermal construction that acts as a shock absorber, it offers unparalleled protective capabilities even when cut very thin. It also has a natural grippiness that securely holds watches in places, preventing buckling and shifting and the resulting damage from scratches and dings. Why isn’t it employed by more makers? Simply because it is too expensive and those manufacturers are content to take the easy, and cheaper, way out. We, however, knew that our clients expect only the best from Fort Belvedere and so we spared no expense, opting for superior natural suede over synthetic alternatives like Alcantara.

When your watch is secured in a Fort Belvedere case, it is totally sheathed in multiple layers of superlative suede and leather. The external leather with its oversized flap and secure fastening ward off dust, grime, and liquids. Inside, a meticulously designed cocoon of interlacing flaps, pouches, and securing devices weave a protective web that prevents your watches from rubbing against themselves, other watches, or anything else in the environment. This prevents scratches, dings, and violent jostling that can lead to costly damage to your treasured timepiece.

From the tanneries for the leather to the workshops where every piece was painstakingly assembled, this watch case was proudly made entirely in the European Union. With access to an unrivaled pool of skilled artisans, stringent quality control, fair labor practices, and rigorous environmental protection standards, goods made in Europe have always been recognized for their quality, craftsmanship, and excellence, and these watch cases are no different.

Able to pop open with ease, our snap button closure system offers the convenience of a magnetic system with no risk of harming the workings of your watches. The studs and sockets have been tightly inserted into the leather, and our extensive longevity testing assures us that they will remain firmly in place and perfectly functional for decades to come. Devising the most efficient, secure, and convenient closure system was a major priority for us during product development, and after experimenting with countless prototypes, we found this system to be the best by far.

Whenever possible, we prefer for our leather goods to have folded edges for the extra durability they impart. In order to affix our suede interior to the case, however, we had to forego that construction for this accessory. Instead, we instructed our skilled European craftsmen to carefully paint every edge to seal them against fraying that compromises the case’s longevity. This elegant edge painting also imparts a neat, uniform appearance. Thanks to our multiple layers of edge painting, these watch cases have been crafted to be as durable as possible without negatively impacting functionality.

The tight, neat stitching on this watch case is a standout feature that any connoisseur will immediately appreciate. This meticulous workmanship is not only visually stunning but also a hallmark of exceptional quality. Because the stitching is done near the end of the production cycle, any errors would necessitate scrapping the accessory and starting anew. As such, our craftsmen are highly motivated to deliver their finest and most precise work, ensuring that each piece meets the highest standards of excellence.

The front flap of your watch case is discreetly marked by a debossed Fort Belvedere crest. On the reverse, the Fort Belvedere name is tastefully rendered in capital letters. As such, the beauty of this case is allowed to shine on its own without relying on gaudy and oversized branding that invariably appears tacky and affected. This nuanced approach to design also ensures that the case does not draw undue attention to itself, hiding from thieves the fact that it contains within it your valuable watch collection.

You didn’t skimp when you bought your watch, so we didn’t skimp when crafting this case. Cheap watch cases rely on cutting corners to keep prices down. They employ inferior synthetics or fabric as materials, their workmanship isn’t high, and they haven’t been extensively tested. Every detail of these cases - from the particular types of leather employed to the neatness of the stitching - was carefully selected and employed to produce the finest watch case money could design.

Before breaking out into a new product type, we always do our research. As watch lovers who care about protecting our timepieces with style, we studied our competition, took full stock of the product types available, and extensively tested every option before settling on a final design. In fact, no less than four prototypes were designed, created, and rigorously field tested before we settled on our current iteration.

In order to facilitate the elegant coordination of your ensembles, this watch case features the same varieties of leather and stylistic design points typical of all of our leather goods. As such, if desired, you can acquire a pen case, wallet, cardholder, and even passport holder that harmonizes perfectly with your watch case, marking you out as a connoisseur of bespoke, unified taste. Conversely, you can mix and match leather varieties for a bold and eclectic appearance that still features a unifying design principle.
