Vuitton
LOUIS Vuitton's Monogram and Damier Graphite canvas watch cases ($975 each) are the perfect travel accessories if you want to bring more than one timepiece with you when travelling. Both feature soft luxurious microfibre lining and can hold up to three men's or four women's watches.
An eight-watch case ($6,700), that can easily go from safe to suitcase, is also available for longer trips (or if you have a bigger collection).
The rectangular shape replicates the look of LV's signature trunks, complete with S-lock with key and leather trim reinforced with rivets and golden brass corners. It also has a removable tray to store other valuables.
Montblanc
To celebrate the 190th anniversary of the chronograph, Montblanc has released the very limited-edition Nicolas Rieussec Horological TimeWriter.
Weighing 19kg, the table clock has one face for the conventional time of day or night, a chronograph with separate clockworks, and a watch-winder that's pre- programmed to wind an 18-carat rose gold version of the Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph Automatic Limited Edition that comes with it.
The entire ensemble is ensconced inside a metal case with vertical satin-finishing on its front and the case is kept under a glass dome to protect its mechanisms against dust. Only 19 sets are available worldwide.

Erwin Sattler
THE Custodia Temporis ($162,426) sideboard by clock manufacturer Erwin Sattler might boast classic looks with its wooden finish but hidden in it are two wood-framed trays with state-of-the-art winders for eight watches.
They are tucked away until a remote control activates them and come complete with two USB interfaces for its owner to transfer information about the winding rates and direction straight to the winders.
It also has a roomy interior and two drawers inside come with 42 compartments for the rest of your watch collection. Available at Timeless Gallery (Ion Orchard) and leading watch retailers like The Hour Glass, Sincere, and Cortina.

IN addition to the watch cases, wallets, bags, and small leather goods from their fine leather collection, Swiss luxury watchmaker Omega has now added an iPad sleeve for fans of the brand who are also techies.
Combining old-world craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology, the iPad2 sleeve is hand-made from fine Italian calf leather and can be folded for use in either portrait or landscape orientation. It retails for $720 and is available in black or brown from Omega boutiques.
