Many people keep their valuables in a safe. But only a few can say they keep their valuables in a Bentley !
The exclusive German safe manufacturer Stockinger the first name in luxury safes — has teamed up with Bentley Motors Ltd. to produce two limited edition lockboxes, each the definition of style, security and extravagant waste.
The Continental and Arnage safes are designed in the same way as all Stockinger safes and designed to be impenetrable and feature numerous security mechanisms such as built in alarms and GPS trackers. To make it clear that your safe is a luxury vault, the handle features the landmark Bentley “B” right in the center !
The Continental is designed for jewelry, while watch collectors will want the Arnage which comes equipped with state-of-the-art watch winders, whose noiseless movement is guaranteed to be maintenance free for life.
Each and every bespoke safe is carefully constructed in an 18-stage process which takes several weeks to complete. The safes are available in all standard Bentley exterior colours and you can choose from one of ten interior leather hides and three wood veneer panels.
Only two hundred of each model will be available to order exclusively through Stockinger. Exclusivity isn’t cheap. The Arnage safe costs $180,000, while the Continental safe retails for about $168,000.

Bentley Motors, manufacturer of the cars used by James Bond, announced plans this week to release a brand new “luxury” laptop computer. As we initially reported, when news of the Ego Bentley first surfaced, Bentley Motors teamed up with Ego Lifestyle on the ultra high-end laptop project (Ego Lifestyle designs and sells high-end consumer electronics).
These laptops have been around since 2003, but maybe you got yourself a new Bentley and so you might want laptop constructed with the same materials. The Ego laptop, of course, can be ordered to look like your Bentley automobile. According to the company, the color options of the lacquered inside matches the car’s most popular exterior paint colors. The external panels have been trimmed with the finest selection of Bentley leather and finished with the authentic Bentley cross-over hand-stitching, designed to match exactly an individual’s particular requirements.
Running Microsoft Vista software, the laptop has a 64-bit processor and a 160GB hard drive. And Bentley being nothing if not stylish, the notebook is encircled with a white gold frame engraved with the limited edition number.
Looking more like an expensive handbag than a laptop when it’s closed, the outside of the machine is trimmed with “Bentley leather” and styled with Bentley cross-over hand stitching. Bentley also notes that the laptop has an ergonomic, integrated handle designed to “remove the need for an unattractive bag or case.”
Coming in at a whopping $19,800, only 250 of the systems, dubbed the Ego for Bentley, will be sold. Yes I know, $20,000 seems like a lot of money for a laptop computer but in case you hadn’t noticed, we’re not the type of customers to whom Bentley caters ^_^
