Watch is beautiful. Packaging awful. It came in a scuffed outer box. As i opened it the watch fell out along with a wooden box that was obviously not sealed with even a sticker...come on Holzkern! Add a blooming sticker!! The protection on the glass had started coming off in transit as the watch was swimming around in there. Also bought it on a sale and even though it comes from Germany - not America - tax was added at checkout and also the " ordinary" price seemed to change after sale was over. All of this said - i was VERY LUCKY that the watch wasnt all scratched up i the horrible transit and it is as beautiful as you could ever imagine.
