Rimowa watch case – MUST HAVE

Rimowa, the masters of luxury luggage has created a new limited edition watch case for when we start flying again. It is an ode to the brand’s storied heritage and mastery of its craft.

The unique minimalist design features an engineered grooved aluminium exterior shell and a microfibre interior with subtle nods to signature features of the namesake luggage capable of holding three watches. The design seamlessly glides open at either end to reveal three removable padded cushions and an additional top cushion layer.

The case was designed in Germany and built in Italy and priced at £1,490 and can be pre-ordered from the 10th November.
