Affluent Page Magazine Presents PERFECTION
Your most opulent timepieces shouldn’t simply be placed on a mantlepiece. They deserve to be protected and preserved in style. Karl Lagerfeld had this in mind when he teamed up with Döttling, the world’s most prestigious and expensive manufacturer of safes.
Together, Döttling and Lagerfeld created “Narcissus,”inspired by the mythological character who fell in love with his own reflection and died because he was too consumed by it. Narcissus owners may find themselves falling in love with the stainless steel body and high-gloss chrome-plated aluminum covering the luxury safe.
What began as a simple locksmith shop grew to become Döttling, and now most of the company’s pieces carry a six-figure price tag.
Döttling’s attention to detail and superb craftsmanship are its hallmark for creating spectacularly designed, one-of-a-kind, luxury safes and vaults. Each one is crafted based on a client’s specifications.
The company uses only the finest materials, including 24-karat gold leaf, decorative fittings, and finely tailored calfskin, zebra, and bird feathers, to adorn the exterior and interior of its safes. Add state-of-the-art security technology, and you have a high-tech home safe wrapped in opulent, old-world charm.
Based in southern Germany, the safe manufacturer was founded in 1919 by Ernst Döttling, the great-grandfather of current head Markus Döttling.
Döttling produces five lines of safes.
The Bel-Air resembles a stylish trunk, but inside the nearly five-foot-high compartment are 16 watch-holders and three drawers. The Chameleon can be built to any size and specification to accommodate cocktail bars, jewelry compartments, watch winders, and lockable drawers—all customized based on a client’s wishes. For the stylish female clientele, Döttling presents Pauline, a Belle Époque high-security case, named after Markus Döttling’s daughter. Standing nearly four feet tall, Pauline contains perfectly finished drawers for jewelry and documents, accented with finely tailored materials.
Döttling’s Legends series consists of rare antique safes, all meticulously and carefully restored. Whether it’s an early 20th-century Wilhelminian security cabinet, a 19th-century Napoleonic coffre-fort, or an 18th-century Italian compartment, Döttling outfits the safes with state-of-the art technology and uses superior materials for customization.
The Narcissus is Döttling’s latest creation. Exclusivity is certainly part of the concept. Only 30 models will be made, one of which is already owned by Lagerfeld. The safe boasts the claim of being the world’s most expensive one, priced at $340,000.
“I’ve designed a safe that I would like to own and which will stand in my home,” said Lagerfeld. “Markus Döttling built it for me.”

Greatest Hits $5.99 Bob Seger has racked up a lot of worthy tracks over the years, but it took until 1994 for a greatest hits package to appear. Voilà. The bad news: We’re missing an awful lot of songs here. Night Moves is Seger’s crit-pick album, and a great place to start if you don’t have any Seger at all. Next in the rankings is Stranger in Town. Otherwise, his highs are pretty scattered, which would make any be… |

Elv1s 30 #1 Hits $4.42 In 1987, RCA released a one-disc Elvis compilation called The Number One Hits that featured 18 tracks. So how did the label come up with 12 additional number ones (13 if you count the sensational “A Little Less Conversation” remix that brings the King into the 21st century as a bona fide dance/electronica star)? Well, the ‘87 compilation featured only Billboard number ones. “In the Ghetto” and “Bu… |

Broadway Melody of 1929 [VHS] $2.41 “100% All Talking! 100% All Singing! 100% All Dancing!” If the math is slightly off, the now-legendary ad campaign for The Broadway Melody can be excused. After all, sound had just come in, and a full-scale musical film was still a novelty. This tuneful 1929 production became a smash hit and won the Best Picture Academy Award® in the second Oscar® ceremony. The story is a creaky tale of two… |
