The best watch rolls are the best way to protect timepieces from being scratched or broken, and even keep dirt and dust from ruining your shiny watch.
If you've taken the leap and purchased a fine watch (such as those found in T3's guide to the best watches for men) the next step is to look after your investment appropriately. We'd suggest starting with storage, like one of the best watch rolls or travel cases.
But first, you need to decide exactly what you want from your watch storage. There are two types of watch roll, simple canvas or leather wraps, or structured hard cases.
The soft rolls are usually made from leather or suede and will provide organisation, and adequate protection against scratches. They're lightweight and compact as well, so are perfect for travelling, when space is at a premium. If you're after even more protection, a watch case is more for you. The consequence is that these are bulkier, but we've collected some more compact options here.
So, whether you’re just starting a new watch collection, or are a seasoned watch collector looking for something new to throw in your carry-on luggage – we’re sure you'll find the perfect option in this guide.
If you're really into watches you should check out the best watches to invest in and the best dive watches.

T3's top three
The best overall watch roll
We love this single watch case made in soft leather from Lucrin. It's perfect to carry around your favourite watch, especially when you are on the move. This watch holder has a velvety microfibre interior that keeps your watch cosseted. ne of the best things about Lucrin is the number of personalisation options available – take your pick from the various leathers, colours and customisations to get one of the finest sumptuous watch case unique to you.
The best capsule watch roll
The ideal solution for storing your watches at home, and occasionally on the go. Wolf's leather watch roll securely holds up to three watches, so you can just slot it in your wardrobe, draw, bedside table or suitcase. The snap closure makes it easy to open and close. We really love the grey "ultra-suede" lining and think the watch guards (which stop your pieces mashing together) are a really smart idea.
The best unique watch roll
This watch roll from Bennett Winch is crafted from black Tuscan leather and features a moulded Kevlar lining to make it impervious to water. The roll is fully padded and lined with olive Alcantara suede to protect your treasured possessions from impact damage whilst travelling. There's space for three watches and is secured by three solid brass poppers. We particularly like the way the lid unfolds to create a soft 'watch preparation area'.

The best watch roll overall
We love this single watch case made in soft leather from Lucrin. It's perfect to carry around your favourite watch, especially when you are on the move. This watch holder has a velvety microfibre interior that keeps your watch cosseted. The small cushion inside (circumference 18 cm) can be removed completely from the watch roll for you to wrap your watch around before placing the whole lot back inside. One of the best things about Lucrin is the number of personalisation options available – take your pick from the various leathers, colours and customisations to get one of the finest sumptuous watch case unique to you.

The best pouch watch roll
There's not too much to say about the stylish watch pouch from Rapport London. It's made from durable navy leather, discreetly stamped with the brand's name. It won't offer the most protection, but it'll stop scratches and doesn't take up too much space.
The best travel watch roll
Store and protect your most treasured timepiece investments whilst away on business or holiday with our luxurious Travel Watch Roll.
Handmade from the finest smooth black Italian calf leather and lavishly lined in contrasting cobalt blue soft suede, our Travel Watch Roll will safeguard one or two of your most treasured watches (depending on size) from dust and scratches whilst on your travels.
The structured chest-shaped design with discreet "A" stitch detailing at each end has a flat base and a soft leather flip-top lid secured via the leather tab with a signature snap fastener. The removable soft suede padded watch cushion is 3.2" / 8.4cm wide allowing it to accommodate all styles of timepieces from a dress watch to a large oversized sports watch.
The compact size is perfect for popping in an overnight bag or suitcase and will make a stylish luxury gift for the most discerning of gents.
The best budget watch roll
We love this no-nonsense case from Cheopz, which will keep your watch safe and sound for very little money. The hard nylon exterior opens to reveal a soft foam interior with a removable cushion. It's not as pretentious as some of the other entries on this list and is potentially less likely to get stolen.
The best vegan leather watch roll
Looking for an affordable alternative to Wolf and Rapport? You should get this Vegan Leather Watch Roll from Case Elegance. It features a hard plastic shell underneath the vegan leather to protect your watches from getting crushed while travelling. The matched stitching and debossed logo add a little design flare. Most importantly, inside you'll find dividers to separate the watches ensuring they don’t slide around.
The best flexible watch roll
Made from genuine with a delicate, soft texture, this slim line watch case is perfect if space is at a premium. It measures just 12.5 x 7 x 2 cm. The soft lining protects the dial and strap from scratches, while plenty of padding protects the watch from bumps.
The best premium watch roll
The Smythson 'Panama' is made in Italy from soft cross-grain calf leather, and will provide protection for your timepiece whether at home or on the move. The suede lining will prevent scratches and scuffs, while the snap-fastening will make sure it stays closed. You can pair it with Smythson suitcases and carry-ons for a matching luggage set.
