We make the tooling to hold the watches cases for many big brands in Switzerland. Each unique piece on a watch has its own tooling.

I think he may mean a watchholder as opposed to the case itself.

My main features in the one I went for was:

Big enough to hold the watch without hitting the glass. If you like big watches this happens with a lot of cases.

Pillows. There are a few designs for pillows on the web.

Enough slots to hols all my watches.

A drawer to hold all the pieces that comes with some watches. Extra links, polishing cloths, etc.
