The Centenary 12-Slot Watch Case is a refined celebration of horology, made for collectors who see their timepieces as more than functional tools. Designed as both a display piece and a protective archive, it offers elegant organisation for your collection in a form that speaks quietly of craftsmanship and character.
Handmade in England using Globe-Trotter’s signature vulcanised fibreboard, the case features a warm brown body accented with hand-applied burgundy leather corners and polished chrome fittings. This rich combination lends a classic, heritage-inflected aesthetic with a subtle modern edge. Every element is assembled and finished by skilled artisans in the brand’s Hertfordshire workshop, where traditional techniques continue to define the Globe-Trotter standard.
Inside, twelve softly chamel-lined compartments are arranged in a pale, neutral palette that contrasts beautifully with the deeper exterior tones. Cushioned inserts hold watches securely in place, protecting them from movement, dust and scratches. From vintage heirlooms to contemporary designs, each piece finds its place in a structured and serene environment.
The 12-slot format is ideal for seasoned collectors or those beginning to build a meaningful archive. Whether positioned on a desk, inside a wardrobe or within a private study, it enhances the surrounding space with quiet confidence and timeless utility.
For smaller collections or secondary storage, consider the 6-Slot Watch Case. For elegant travel, the 3-Slot Watch Case provides secure, compact protection on the move.

Vulcanised Fibreboard
The main structure of the Jewellery Box is crafted from Globe-Trotter’s proprietary Vulcanised Fibreboard, comprising 14 layers of recycled paper, cotton, and wood pulp from sustainable sources. These layers are bonded with zinc and compressed under steam and pressure, resulting in a shell that is exceptionally lightweight, strong, and exclusive to Globe-Trotter. This material is chosen for its unmatched durability and its refined, iconic appearance.
Vegetable-Tanned Leather
All leather elements, including the hand-moulded corners, trims, handles and fastening details, are made from vegetable-tanned hide. This traditional tanning method uses only natural plant extracts to create leather of exceptional strength and character. Over time, it develops a rich patina, ensuring that every case becomes ever more individual with each journey.
Ethical Sourcing
All leather is ethically sourced, with full traceability and a commitment to animal welfare and environmentally responsible practices.
Internal Tray and Compartments
The interior features a removable wooden tray, precisely crafted for lightness and structure. The tray and compartments are lined with soft, premium cotton or cotton-blend fabric to protect jewellery and delicate items from scratches. Each compartment is finished with hand-cut vegetable-tanned leather trims for an elevated touch.
Handle
The top handle is made from reinforced, vegetable-tanned leather, bonded, pressed, and hand-finished to deliver comfort and durability.
Lining
The interior, including the tray and compartments, is lined with finely woven cotton or cotton-blend fabric, chosen for its gentle feel and long-lasting quality.
Locks and Hardware
The Jewellery Box is equipped with a precision-engineered combination lock and fittings crafted from carbon steel or solid brass, finished in gold, chrome, or signature tones. Each piece of hardware is selected for its secure functionality and refined aesthetic.
Serial Plaque
A unique, individually numbered metal plaque is placed inside every Jewellery Box, certifying authenticity and providing a lasting mark of provenance.
