Bangle watch box

Abstract

A watch box includes a generally cylindrical housing which has a flange formed on a first end and a transparent hemispherical cover threaded onto a second end. The housing enclosed a wristwatch support collar which during use supports a wristwatch which is visible through the hemispherical cover. A locking member is slideably mounted relative to the housing and projects through the wristwatch support collar thereby locking the wristwatch support collar and the housing. The hemispherical cover includes a flange. A plurality of bangles are slideably mounted on the housing between the flange on the cover. The bangles cover the locking member thereby preventing access to the locking member and unauthorized removal of the wristwatch. A thin sleeve covers the flange on the cover and the flange on the housing, thereby preventing the unauthorized opening of the cover. After purchase, an owner can remove the sleeve, then remove the cover, and the remove the bangles which can be used as a decorative bangle bracelet.
