Art Meets Security – The Smythson Watch and Accessory Cabinet
By Affluent Page Editor • Sep 16th, 2008 • Category: News & Noteworthy
The new Smythson Men’s Collection Watch and Accessory Cabinet is a testimony to the Smythson tradition but at the same time it embraces newer, more familiar concepts of class and style in the modern age we live in.
Designers at Smythson speaking about the project, attributed modern art as the main influence behind this innovative luxury item. Any true follower of modern art will attest to the veracity of their statements and to others who aren’t connoisseurs where the world of art is concerned, the fact is still clearly evident from the multitude of colors employed so uniquely in this cabinet.
From its design and functionality it is quite clear that the Watch and Accessory Cabinet was created to house items of luxury and it performs this task excellently. It has a perpetual motion rocker which is one of many ways to keep the watches housed wound and accurate. It also has a number of secret storage areas and has space for at least 8 more watches.
Various accessories can be housed in the cabinet and they include belts, sunglasses, cufflinks, ties as well as documents. The cabinet also functions as a safe as well, keeping your precious possessions secure from prying eyes and hands.
This is truly a case where art becomes an investment: a cabinet that helps keep your watches accurate without the need for winding or readjustment, provides secret storage areas for confidential or highly valuable items and yet still looks good just sitting there. It’s a welcome deviation from the bland and tasteless metal safes that are usually the only alternate option if you need security where your watches and accessories are concerned.
