winding up Leather & Steel You only need to be crazy about watches for this padded room Döttling’s Fortress Maximus safes are imposing works of functional art that grace any room with their peerless design. Unlike so many safes that are simply large cubes of hardened steel, the stitched and padded leather upholstery surrounding the solid inner structure create a new effect for this double cabinet safe. The upper section with its round oversize door is reminiscent of the famous American bank vaults of the prohibition era while the lower section is a high-tech, high-security safe with a versatile interior. Both are housed seamlessly into a single steel body to produce a unique vault for timepieces. The complex locking mechanism opens upon entering a personal code and reveals an interior as elegant as the façade. Inside the top there is room for fifteen precision watch winders, or the Döttling Touch & Move precision watch winders. The lower section of the Fortress Maximus provides maximum security, meeting the certified security class VdS/EN 3. If required, VdS/ EN 5 is possible. The interior is protected by a biometric fingerprint lock and can be also configured to suit personal preferences. Fortress Maximus is available in a limited edition of only five units and starts at $270,000.
