The Centenary 6-Slot Watch Case is a study in balance, crafted for collectors who seek both elegance and practicality. Designed to hold a focused selection of treasured timepieces, it brings together refined proportions and timeless aesthetic detail in a format that transitions effortlessly between home and travel.
Each case is handmade in England using Globe-Trotter’s signature vulcanised fibreboard, celebrated for its unique combination of lightness and resilience. The structure is framed by precisely moulded leather corners, applied by artisans in the brand’s Hertfordshire workshop using traditional machinery and hand-finishing techniques that have remained unchanged for over a century. Chrome fittings add a subtle gleam to the silhouette, introducing a modern accent to a design rooted in British heritage.
The deep black exterior contrasts beautifully with the pale chamel-lined interior, where six individual compartments are carefully arranged to protect and showcase your watches. Each slot is fitted with a cushioned insert, shaped to accommodate everything from slim, vintage pieces to contemporary sports models. The rigid construction ensures that your collection is shielded from movement and abrasion, whether displayed at home or packed for travel.
This mid-size format is ideal for the collector who values curation. Compact enough to sit neatly on a dresser, desk or in a safe, yet spacious enough to hold a meaningful edit of your favourites, it offers understated luxury with a purposeful presence.
For larger archives, consider the 12-Slot Watch Case. For those who prefer to travel with just a few select pieces, the 3-Slot Watch Case offers the same craftsmanship in an even more compact form.

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.
