The internal layout can be tailor made to suit your individual needs with areas to show off the finest time pieces with integrated watch winder modules, luxurious jewellery drawers, door pockets, shelves, key hooks and even additional lockable compartments to store higher value items separately from pieces you access on a regular basis. The layout can be designed to suit your needs.
