The merchandise display rack includes a plurality of relatively movable support members provided with cooperating spindles which are adapted to support the display cases and adapted to be simultaneously locked against displacement by a common locking mechanism to prevent unauthorized removal of the display cases.

The one piece base may be comprised of a bottom portion and a back portion joined by an integral hinge such that they are movable from an open position wherein the watch is readily accessible, to an angular position wherein the transparent cover can be secured into place. A cuff is integrally attached to the back portion and provides a means for supporting a watch. A latch, comprising an integral molded part of the bottom portion, is receivable within a complementary slot in the back portion to secure the respective portions in an angular relationship.
