A common lament among gift-givers has always been, “What do you get the person who has everything?” Whether the person possessing everything is yourself or another, the logical answer is a Dottling Luxury Safe or customized Collector’s Room. Naturally, those who have everything wish to keep their hard-won treasures. A Dottling Luxury Safe or Collector’s Room ensures they do while looking simply exquisite in the process. Case in point: Dottling Colosimo “Watch Safe” Double Wing. Inspired by the iconic 1954 Mercedes 300SL “Gull-Wing,” the mini-safe’s clock and toggle switches are respectful nods to Gull-Wing. Its sumptuous lines harken directly back to the impeccable styling of that legendary automobile. Colosimo Double Wing is the ideal manifestation of the Dottling ethos. Were James Bond himself to hand-select a safe to secure his valuables, it would surely be none other than that of the century-old Magstadt, Germany bespoke company whose pledge of beauty and craftsmanship in the safe making is uncompromised.

The Mercedes 300SL “Gull-Wing” isn’t the only design icon to inspire Dottling designers. The Barcelona Chair also galvanized greatness. When debuted in 1929 by acclaimed modernist architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, the Barcelona Chair was instantly proclaimed a contemporary design masterpiece by critics worldwide. Its merger of traditional leather surface and airy chrome support structure within a crisp and straightforward design immediately catapulted the Barcelona Chair to modern classic status. Dottling’s Liberty Barcelona owes much of its greatness to a similar design aesthetic melding remarkable form and glorious functionality. The leather exterior of the Liberty Barcelona is patterned on the Miesian original, while its trio of drawers, dozen precision winders, and unique solidity are unquestionably Dottling. Bearing a price tag nearing six figures, it’s not for those light of wallet. Then again, neither are the items it’s intended to secure.

The dictionary defines a fortress as follows: “A place of exceptional security; stronghold.” That term very well delineates one of the newest and perhaps most impressive product offerings ever unveiled by Dottling. Appropriately christened The Fortress, proclaimed the world’s “safest luxury safe,” and offered in certified security classes extending from VdS/EN 3 to VdS/EN 5, the limited-edition vault sells for over $150,000. Many owners choose to protect precious jewelry and ultra-high-end watches deep within its impermeable, black calfskin-upholstered reaches. Others prefer to safeguard their finest cigars by cocooning them within its Spanish-cedar-encased humidor with an electronic humidifying system that's beautifully and flawlessly controlled using a hygrometer and barometer of Wempe manufacture. Whatever the intention, owners find The Fortress remarkably versatile. It can wind eight watches at once through individually-controlled systems, incorporates a Dottling Colosimo two-door safe, and is configured for burglar alarm and silent alarm connections.
