Safe from harm

Provided you haven't taken the credit-crunch driven decision to post the family silver on eBay, you might still have cause to protect it from busy hands. This Bentley-branded safe from Stockinger combines the pedigree and sophistication of the car with the renowned solidity and craftsmanship of one of the world's best known safe companies.

With its six drawers, which you can customise with your own choice of suede, the Continental is better suited to jewellery collections you'd rather didn't leave the premises. The Arnage is specifically designed to house your watch collection and includes "noiseless" watch-winding technology to keep your prized possessions maintenance-free and tickety boo. Stockinger is making only 400 of these, but at almost a hundred thousands pounds a pop, the price appears to correspond with the limited run.

You can choose any colour you like from the Bentley catalogue, the only real question being: why put so much effort, not to mention money, into something that hardly anyone else will ever see?
