The Haute Minute
History repeats itself as Döttling channels the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL with this new addition to the Colosimo line of safes.
Inspired by and based on the iconic auto’s Gullwing doors, the Double Wing comes almost 60 years after the initial debut of the 300 SL.
An integrated Wempe Zeitmeister clock is front and center, mimicking the placement on the 300 SL. The details are precise: toggle switches and covers in red calf leather mirror the inside of the car. Unlock the safe with a three-digit code and watch the doors smoothly swing open, à la Gullwing.
Haute mechanics and legendary style meet for what could be Döttling’s most stunning piece yet.
Seth Semilof co-founded Haute Living and, with business partner Kamal Hotchandani, launched Haute Time, the brands' luxury timepiece site, to educate buyers about the best watches in the world and to showcase the passion of collectors and the CEOs who lead the great maisons. His love of watches began early: a TAG Heuer at 13, an Omega at 16, and his first Rolex at 20. Through Haute Time he has been honored to visit the greatest watch manufactures in the world and meet the master watchmakers behind them. He has also personally featured private collections exclusive to Haute Time, taking readers inside the watch boxes of Kevin Hart, Carmelo Anthony, Tony Robbins and Swizz Beatz.
