We recommend keeping your principal packaging. Most watch collectors tend to hang on to all the packaging because it helps to maintain the value of the watch for resale and also because they think of it as a long-term investment that is more intact if the box and papers are kept together. However, mindful of some customers wishes, we have, from the outset, planned to make all our packaging with minimal waste and made it 100% recyclable. Also, much of it is recycled already.
