THE CREATION OF THE MAGNUM - FROM THE IDEA TO THE FINISHED LUXURY

Innovation, design, perfect craftsmanship - their roles in the development of the MAGNUM safe

Even the first glance at the MAGNUM speaks volumes: it is abruptly clear what one is dealing with. This is what high security looks like … and the dignified elegance with which it addresses the issue of "security for valuable collections of watches and other precious items" is equally as impressive. These convincing results are the culmination of stylish design, a passionate pursuit of innovation and master craftsmanship with a focus on perfection. BUBEN&ZORWEG shows what lies behind a development of this nature.

The intellectual creative process behind a masterpiece
Many months of development work will have passed by the time the first prototypes of a new masterpiece from the House of BUBEN&ZORWEG are presented at the "BASELWORLD", where the elite of those passionate about beautiful objects convene once a year. The path from the initial idea to a presentable masterpiece is long. Drafts are discussed, discarded, optimized. Highly detailed innovative solutions give rise to unique objects as if from one cast and never seen before.
After the fair is before the fair: whilst the masterpieces just exhibited at the trade show are fine-tuned on the basis of visitor reactions, the designers are already brooding over new ideas to once again deliver a surprise that is "typically BUBEN&ZORWEG".
The challenge facing the development of the MAGNUM right from the start was to create a safe whose appearance alone would radiate a feeling of security. On the other hand, it should not look like the classic safe familiar from crime movies, but instead have the appearance of an object of design — a tightrope walk commensurate to squaring the circle.
The two handles on the MAGNUM have the pivotal role of visually interpreting the character of the safe. It is further enhanced by quality haptic properties and the choice of select materials that exude solidity beyond reproach when challenged. The astonishing safe doors do not open outwards but rather disappear inside the safe when opened to decoratively present its valuable content. They bear witness to the power of innovation of the developers at the House of BUBEN&ZORWEG … a thrilling experience every time for the proud owner when he opens his MAGNUM either alone or before the eyes of amazed visitors.
From high-security safe to presentation shrine
Another detailed solution is the result of a completely new approach to challenging the development process: the extendible interior. The safe doors are quite thick for security reasons, and this would normally mean that the exclusive watch collection strapped to TIME MOVER® units would be located deep inside the luxury safe. However, "normal" is a foreign concept to BUBEN&ZORWEG, whose developers always seek the ideal solution without compromise. As a result, opening the MAGNUM transforms it from a high-security safe into an impressive presentation shrine. "The doors retract into the safe in a flowing, elegant movement. The interior is extendible for the purpose of better presentation and is highlighted by a sophisticated LED lighting system", says a pleased Harald Buben of another innovation that is causing quite a stir. Valuables and security could not be presented in a more appealing fashion!
It is only natural for an object such as the MAGNUM to feature the best German security technology that easily meets the strict demands of the VDS I certificate, as well the lock with 100% redundancy. Anything less than the very best would be irresponsible towards the values dear to customers.
The consistent approach to detail, the power of innovation, a passion for design and master craftsmanship… each reaching the highest possible level of perfection: the sum of these individual aspects is what creates the unmistakable magic of a masterpiece from the House of BUBEN&ZORWEG. The MAGNUM is just one example — albeit a very impressive one!

Selected materials and perfect workmanship fulfil and exceed our customers’ highest expectations.

THE HOUSE OF BUBEN&ZORWEG
THE FIRST STOP FOR PASSIONATE LOVERS OF FINE TIMEPIECES
From our first day of business (1995) we at BUBEN&ZORWEG have been devoted to exploring the limits of technology and craftsmanship with exciting new masterpieces. We design and manufacture detailed pieces that reflect our passion for innovative technology, ground-breaking design and perfect artistry for lovers of unique masterpieces. After the company was founded in 1995, BUBEN&ZORWEG reached the first milestone with the launch of the TIME MOVER® and became market leader in the field. A clear commitment to innovation and perfection has made the TIME MOVER® technology a benchmark among watch winders, placing BUBEN&ZORWEG at the top of the world-wide watch winding market. Lovers of fine timepieces in over 100 countries entrust their valuable automatic watches to the care of TIME MOVER® modules.
The advent in 2005 of BUBEN&ZORWEG’s FINE TIMEPIECES was the first major step on the road to becoming a manufacturer of mechanical clocks. The goal from the beginning was to use innovation and master craftsmanship to create exclusive pieces that were and are without comparison. Outstanding feature is our focus on clocks with tourbillons: an area in which BUBEN&ZORWEG is constantly breaking new ground.
We surprised the experts with the double tourbillon in 2007 and again with the Orbit tourbillon in 2009. Our Atelier d’Horlogerie offers the best conditions for creating these FINE TIMEPIECES - from the design to the elaborate manufacture.
Since 2006 BUBEN&ZORWEG has offered a combination of the previous areas of operation in the form of the OBJECTS OF TIME®, opening up a new dimension for lovers of valuable watches and/or unique pieces created to complement sophisticated interiors. From precious single pieces to modular, individually equipped walls or rooms, BUBEN&ZORWEG is a competent, innovative partner for the creation of exclusive ambience.
In 2008 BUBEN&ZORWEG focused intensely on security, and presented the first luxury safes which not only fulfil every safety-related wish, but, with their unique design, also represent an attractive addition to every elegant interior.

No time for sport? The right time management is important
"I just don’t have time to exercise." Many people have a tight schedule every day: work, shopping, household, meet with friends, spending time with the family and eventually have some rest for themselves. Apparently there is no time to follow a sportive activity. The right balance between everyday life and sport depends on the inner attitude and a consequent time management. In contrast to television, computer or telephone, sport isn’t
Faster time-to-market requires on-time product information.
Time is money, which is why large, multi-national organizations race to bring their new products to global markets. But many companies fail to keep accompanying product information on pace with the product launch, often it’s because corporate-level information must be localized to different countries, in different languages, and for different cultures. Being on time with product information and making it available in all channels—all while simultaneously maintaining content quality--can be
