How and where to store it correctly?
For expensive, rare models or pieces of jewelry value, a variety of storage devices are offered today.
Caskets
The most common option. There is probably a wooden, metal, plastic, stone box in every home. Jewelry or valuables are stored there. Chronometers can also be stored there.

Timemovers and winders
These are also original boxes for storing self-winding watches. Such storage will perfectly protect the accessory from moisture, dust, mechanical damage. In addition, this device is a special rotating bowl, the vibrations of which very accurately imitate the movements of a walking person's hand. Timemovers usually have a glass door through which you can observe the pendulum vibrations of the chronometer.
The watch in such a device is always ready for work and has almost the maximum charge. Constant movement is necessary for mechanical models, otherwise their mechanism ceases to function normally.

Safe and safety bag for transportation
Ideal for storing high-value items whose value or aesthetic value does not allow them to be kept in the public domain. Outwardly, they have nothing to do with the usual cumbersome code boxes.Rather, they resemble unusual interior details, so it is not so easy to notice them for an uninitiated visitor of the room.
These safes are equipped with combination locks, special sensors that allow "memorizing" fingerprints, a GPS system, self-winding and other functions.

You can also choose less exotic options for storing chronometers. The main thing is to follow simple guidelines:
- Do not store accessories with a quartz movement near sources of electromagnetic waves. This can be a mobile phone, radio, walkie-talkie or other item;
- protect the watch from moisture, dust, mechanical damage (scratches, shock). This will greatly extend their service life;
- it is recommended to choose a permanent place to store the chronometer. This can be a dedicated outdoor clock stand, small box, stand, holder, or miniature hanger. The accessory should always be at hand.

To store the collection, you can purchase special boxes or safes with several compartments. General storage will not damage the watch mechanism in any way, especially since a special compartment is provided for each item in the box.

In what position should a mechanical watch be stored?
