Biolock® biometric accessDescription
Twelve watches worth owning deserve infrastructure to match.

12-watch winder safe Régent™ Imperial Wood - certified version on request, guaranteed silence
A certified version available on request
This model is also available on request in a version certified to EN 1143-1 by ECB·S (European Certification Body for Security), an independent certification body. The grade, configuration and price of this version are specified in a quotation.
EN 1143-1 certification covers the burglary resistance of the selected certified version. It is issued by ECB·S, an independent certification body.
The lock type depends on the version you choose:
- Essentiel version: BioLock® lock — biometric fingerprint sensor, digital keypad, and backup physical key. Three combined access modes, designed for quick everyday access.
- Certified Grade I to V versions: Digilock® lock — digital keypad and backup physical key, certified EN 1300 Grade B PS610, a standard tested by accredited laboratories (including ECB·S). Its resistance to manipulation and picking is independently verified.
The safe is available in an Essentiel version (uncertified) and in Grade I to Grade V (certified to EN 1143-1 by ECB·S), depending on your requirements:
| Grade | Dimensions H×W×D | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Essentiel | 120 × 60 × 50 cm | 250 kg |
| Grade I | 133 × 70 × 58 cm | 373 kg |
| Grade II | 132 × 68 × 51 cm | 552 kg |
| Grade III | 132 × 68 × 51 cm | 591 kg |
| Grade IV | 120 × 55 × 52 cm | 585 kg |
| Grade IV Large | 132 × 68 × 55 cm | 806 kg |
| Grade V | 132 × 68 × 68 cm | 1019 kg |
The Essentiel version is not EN 1143-1 certified. Grades I to V are certified by ECB·S (European Certification Body for Security).
The grade determines the level of burglary resistance and the insurable value of the contents. For a collection of 8 to 12 manufacture watches, Grade II or III is generally the relevant entry point.
12 independent Coil Winding® winders - each watch on its own terms
The motor you can't hear
Coil Winding®: precise winding and quiet motor operation. Each watch benefits from independent turns-per-day and rotation-direction settings. Explore the technology and our testing.
Adjustable TPD per slot
Each winder is configurable independently of the other eleven:
- Rotation direction: clockwise, counterclockwise, bidirectional
- Adjustable TPD (turns per day): set to the exact specifications of each manufacturer
A collection of twelve watches is never a collection of twelve identical watches. The Régent™ 12 adapts to each one - not the other way around.
Compatible with all automatic watches
Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Omega, Vacheron Constantin, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Richard Mille: compatibility covers the full range of automatic watches on the market, regardless of case or strap size.
3 customizable drawers and integrated lighting
The watch safe isn't limited to the winders. Three customizable drawers complete the space, with integrated LED lighting that activates on opening and puts every piece of the collection on display.
- Resting watches: for timepieces not in rotation, placed on a cushion with no contact between pieces
- Jewelry: individual velvet compartments, each piece held and separated
- Accessories: a free, fully modular drawer - spare straps, tools, documents, according to the collector's needs
Each drawer is configurable to your use. For a twelve-watch collection, organization is no longer optional - it's what lets you find the right piece at a glance.
Imperial Wood - a finish that fits in like furniture
Imperial Wood isn't an off-the-shelf veneer. It's a signature Mercier & Fils finish, with deep grain and a warm tone, designed to blend into a library, an office, or a dressing room like a piece of furniture - not like a safe.
Other finishes are available to order: Walnut Wood, Carbon (the "Daytona" finish), and a lacquered snow finish still being named. Imperial Wood remains the reference finish of this edition.

Who is the Régent™ 12 for?
The Régent™ 12 is built for a specific profile: the collector who owns 8 to 12 watches of value and whose collection has outgrown a simple desktop winder.
As a collection grows, physical security becomes just as important as winding. A winder without a safe protects the movement - not the watch. A safe without a winder protects the watch - not the movement.
The Régent™ 12 solves both problems in a single piece of furniture, with the capacity and organization a sizeable collection needs.
It's particularly suited to those who:
- Already own a large collection and want a centralized solution instead of several small winders
- Also store jewelry or watch accessories in the same space
- Are looking for an EN 1143-1 certified safe - not just a lockable cabinet
- Want a piece that fits into a carefully considered interior like wood furniture, not a workshop safe
This is permanent infrastructure. Not a temporary accessory.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Régent™ 12 a real safe or just a secured winder? This safe with integrated winders is also available on request in a version certified to EN 1143-1 by ECB·S, an independent certification body. The structure, bolts, and Digilock® lock (on certified versions) meet the standard's requirements, from Grade I to Grade V depending on the version chosen.
Can I set a different TPD for each watch? Yes. Each winder is independently configurable: rotation direction (clockwise, counterclockwise, bidirectional) and adjustable TPD according to each manufacturer's specifications. Across twelve slots, every watch keeps its own setting.
Coil Winding®: precise winding and quiet motor operation. Each watch benefits from independent turns-per-day and rotation-direction settings. Explore the technology and our testing.
What's the difference between the EN 1143-1 grades? The Essentiel version (250 kg) is not EN 1143-1 certified - it's physical protection without independent audit. Grade I (373 kg) is the first level certified by ECB·S. Grades II to V (552 to 1019 kg) are for collections whose value justifies stronger protection and higher insurance coverage. Our advisors can guide you based on your situation.
What's the difference between the Essentiel lock and the certified lock? The Essentiel version uses a BioLock® lock (biometric fingerprint, digital keypad, backup key), designed for quick everyday access. Grade I to V versions use a Digilock® lock certified EN 1300 Grade B PS610, whose resistance to manipulation and picking is independently verified.
Is Imperial Wood the only finish available? It's the reference finish of this edition. Walnut Wood, Carbon (the "Daytona" finish), and a lacquered snow finish are also available to order - contact us before placing your order to discuss your preferences.
Are my larger watches compatible? The Régent™ 12 is compatible with all automatic watches, regardless of case size. The cushions accommodate sport models as well as the finest dress watches.

Q&A
Each Mercier & Fils case is an important decision. We have gathered the answers to the most frequently asked questions here—but our advisors remain available if you wish to speak directly.
Yes, we ship everywhere in France and worldwide. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout. Each order is packaged with the utmost care to ensure your item arrives in perfect condition.
A watch safe is much more than just a storage unit. It protects your collection from theft, shocks, and humidity, while keeping your automatic watches wound thanks to integrated winding modules. Designed for collectors who refuse to choose between security and care for their mechanics.
A watch winder keeps your watches running—that's all. A Mercier & Fils watch safe does that, and also physically protects your collection: solid steel structure, secure lock, can be anchored to the floor or wall. For a valuable collection, a watch winder alone is not enough.
Yes. Our watch winders are adjustable in direction (clockwise, counter-clockwise, bi-directional) and in turns per day, to adapt to the specifications of each manufacturer — Rolex, Patek Philippe, AP, and hundreds of others. Consult our TPD guide to find the settings for your watch.
Capacity, security level, and finish are the three main criteria. Our French advisors are available Monday to Friday to assist you with this choice—each collection is unique, and so is each recommendation.
