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

Lighter than aluminium and tougher than leather, Vulcanised Fibreboard is our unique proprietary material and is made from 14 layers of recycled paper bonded with zinc. 

Corners

The iconic leather corners of our cases take five days to craft and complete. And are moulded using time-honoured machinery for optimum strength and form.

Handles

It’s quite fitting that our durable handles are made entirely by hand. With the core materials bonded together for 48 hours before construction even begins.

Serial plaque

Each case is truly one of a kind, individualised with its own unique serial number. Find it on a metal plaque inside your case, and use it to track your movements around the globe.

Lining

The inside of your case is an ode to your individual character. Durable and water resistant, the luxurious inner lining is meticulously crafted and can stay suited to the bag or customised to feel individual to you.

Locks

Each case comes with carbon steel locks so you can travel with peace of mind. Turn to a North-South position to unlock and East-West to lock.
