The Centenary 12-Slot Watch Case is a beautifully crafted companion for serious collectors. Designed to protect and present up to twelve timepieces, it combines traditional craftsmanship with a confident, heritage-inspired aesthetic that stands apart from the ordinary.
Made in England from Globe-Trotter’s signature vulcanised fibreboard, the case features a rich forest green exterior framed with brown leather corners and finished with polished gold-tone fittings. The colour palette evokes a sense of timeless adventure—elegant, earthy and evocative of a bygone era of travel. Each element is shaped, stitched and fitted by hand in the brand’s Hertfordshire workshop, using skills passed down through generations.
Inside, the case reveals twelve compartments lined in soft chamel fabric with pale tones that contrast gently with the exterior. Cushioned inserts cradle each watch securely, offering protection from movement, scratches and wear. The case accommodates a range of sizes and styles, making it ideal for both contemporary and vintage collections.
Designed for display as much as storage, this case feels equally at home in a private study, wardrobe or on a dressing table. It is a piece that reflects the collector’s eye for detail and appreciation for craft.

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.
