There’s a new criteria to fill if you want to call yourself a ‘Red Bottom Boss’ now.

The Colosimo series of watch winder/safes by Doettling has been re-done in 2 new finishes and a reduced size. The first is the obviously Christian Louboutin inspired ‘Spike”, and the second is the ‘Mies’, inspired by what I would describe as a Chesterfield pattern (I know, I’m a simpleton), but I now know to be the Barcelona chair designed by Mies Van Der Rohe.

A fully functional safe, each unit is capable of simultaneously winding 3 automatic watches. Winding is important because an automatic watch that is left for a few days without any wear or charging will stop until it is wound again. This causes lubricants and oils to dry up quicker and means the watch will need to be serviced sooner (/FirstWorldProblems).

I do like the fact that despite the high price tag, these things have been designed with a touch of opulence about them. They are made to be showpieces, and if you have the financial clout that enables you to enjoy a collection of horology’s finest then why hide them away in anything less than the equivalent of a Knightsbridge penthouse apartment!?

The triple-watch winder costs 15,555 Euros each, while a single watch winding version is available at a knock down 10,800 Euros
