After witnessing the Python Time Mover and the Objet de Temps II in the past, we have elevated expectations from the House of Buben&Zorweg, and I must say they didn’t at all disappoint us with their latest watch-winder. As its name suggests, the €117,000 ($165,935) Solitaire Deluxe from the celebrated manufacturer stands alone – unique in its innovative conception, perfectly implemented as an exquisite masterpiece of German craftsmanship, a room within a room providing a worthy ambiance for time in its most beautiful form. Impressive dimensions and high-end equipment are reminiscent of luxury automobiles designed with uncompromising perfection in mind. Bulletproof glass doors, held firmly in place by stainless steel hinges, turn the Solitaire into a safe for the exclusive collection whilst presenting it in an impressive surround.

The macassar body in a high-gloss finish and the interior design in finest leather are a statement of the refined demands the owner of a Solitaire places on the objects of his passion. The 56 Time Mover units installed behind doors and sophisticated security technology provide precious watches with an environment ideal for value preservation and presentation. The Time Mover Solitaire Deluxe with its exquisitely arranged bouquet of components enhances the collector’s enjoyment of his passion in a truly unique manner.

A bar, an electronically controlled humidor and a stereo system with perfectly integrated, high-quality loudspeakers round off the fittings and underline the integral experience of taking pure pleasure in singularity. And the set of finest watchmaker tools in a particularly noble design that Buben&Zorweg include with each model should be viewed as a sign of respect for the watch collector and not as encouraging manipulation. Various lusciously lined drawers offer clearly arranged room for further watches and accessories.
