DÖTTLING GUARDIAN TRAVEL SAFE
Handcrafted by artisan locksmiths Döttling, the Guardian security cylinder is a high-end portable safe that provides secure protection for valuable watches, jewellery and cash.
Made from a virtually indestructible carbide component, the 4kg cylinder is almost as hard as diamond and cannot be penetrated by drills or saws. The only point of access is via a high-security safe door, which requires a personalised pass code to open. For added peace of mind, the product even boasts a built-in GPS tracking device.
Not intent on sacrificing style for security, the Guardian is handcrafted to its owner’s specification and puts no limit on individuality. Handle brackets can be engraved and any conceivable variation in fabric or leather can be chosen – from crocodile skin to suede.
Price: Starting from US $13,000

“POPEYE” ROLEX WATCHMASTER
Last year saw the launch of the “Popeye” Rolex Yachtmaster (pictured below), a sell-out bespoke watch created by Bamford Watch Department featuring everyone’s favourite iconic cartoon character, Popeye the Sailor Man. Back by popular demand, the timepiece has been re-released with a new, 18ct yellow gold exterior.
Designed as part of the ongoing collaboration between Bamford Watch Department and LA-based designer Dr. Romanelli, the customised Rolex will be engraved with the Dr. Romanelli logo and its edition number. With only 10 set aside for commercial sale the collection is likely to sell-out in no time at all, so you will have to be quick if you want to snap one up.
