Delved into the back of my closet yesterday, and pulled out one of my favourite watch accessories
(obviously, it is stored "empty"! and these photos date back a little while!).

A big green cloth bag from Asprey...

With a beautiful heavy heavy wooden attache case...

which apparently cost its original owner over GBP£10,000!!

Fortunately, his brother was the Sultan of Brunei so the price probably wasn't a big issue!

Inside a very fine hand-crafted green leather interior fitted to hold wristwatches worthy of such opulent surroundings!

and one...

two...

three...

four lift-out trays!

I just wonder what treasures Prince Jefri kept in here...

Mike your collection is way over the top ! One question if you don't mind, how do you insure a collection like you have ?

Not easily! There are some specialist companies in the UK that provide specialist insurance for collections / collectables...

But otherwise, there's always

Frogman4me · 8 October 2013, 12:52 AM

As always very nice Mike, perfect case to compliment such a stunning collection. Cheers

strafer_kid · 8 October 2013, 04:00 AM

You might want to fit a heavy chain to that ........!
