SECURITY : ACCESSORIES TO HAVE, COLOSIMO DOTTLING MINI SAFE & HUMIDOR

COLOSIMO
“Big Jim” Colosimo (1878–1920) was already a gangster legend during his lifetime in Chicago’s underworld. At the turn of the twentieth century, the mobster boss paved the way for other underground notables such as Al Capone.
To protect their customers’ assets from criminals such as him, US banks of the time installed massive vaults with huge round doors and highly complex lock mechanisms. The steel doors with radial bolts made unauthorized access to these high-security vaults practically impossible.
Inspired by these unique examples of American locksmith artisanship from the days of the Prohibition, Döttling has constructed – on a scale of 1:13 – the world’s smallest safe: Colosimo.
The highly decorative tabletop safe offers not only the external delight of simple lines, glossy finished steel surfaces, and a solid presence. When the door of the Colosimo is opened – only after entering a 3-digit personal code, of course – the sight is particularly striking. This is when the smoothly functioning, intricate locking mechanism is revealed, an aesthetic gem, as masterfully crafted as the inner workings of a fine clock.
Colosimo is the result of three years of development, which we at Döttling like to call “haute safeology.” It can be equipped alternatively with a Döttling precision watch winder or with a cedar wood humidor insert and integrated air humidifier. This makes it the proud custodian of the most precious items of its new owner, who will repeatedly be tempted to celebrate the mechanical spectacle of opening the door. Colosimo is the world’s smallest fully functional high security safe.
The following special features make it one of a kind:
- Hand-crafted from the best German steel (stainless)
- Special armored protection (as in our regular safes)
- Mineral glass to protect the safe mechanism
- 3-digit combination lock mounted on the outside of the door
- 16 radial, specially hardened locking bolts
- 32 gold-plated precision gearwheels
- Decorative pearlage on the inner door
- High-gloss lacquered black base
- Mounting set for table or furniture tops (optional)
Interior fittings:
- Integrated Döttling watch winder (mains or battery-operated)
- Humidor with integrated air humidifier
