A former magician and artist, an example of generosity and humanity, he is the one who founded this Ali Baba&#8217;s cavern which could be used as a backdrop for the world&#8217; s trendiest fashion shows as well as the most avant-garde photoshoots.<\/p>\n<p>In this gigantic and high-ceilinged hall, in its lateral or external extensions as well as in its basements, there are thousands of safes that satisfy the 5 different security levels. Yes, the omnipotent insurers will tell you exactly how much money you are allowed to deposit in these safes, according to whether it is class 1 or 5. They are the ones who define the standards. There are chests here by the thousands, of all sizes and shapes. Some of them are still in their vintage condition and, clad in lightweight wood, look like dressers or cupboards, with their history, their secrets, such as this decorative face bar that moves to reveal the lock. Everything is shielding here, all is tonnage too. And why not, for the current locks, the use of electronics comes to increase the usual mechanical security.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The demand does not falter<br \/>\n<\/strong>I pushed open the front door and got lost, both in my thoughts and in the walkways. I was saved by Michel-Andr\u00e9 Ryser, a figure known for his national travel agency, Croisitour, and his flights to Corsica from Les Eplatures airport. He ventured into this colossal space, like the entrepreneur he is, to ensure the transition between the founder, his family and this quite constant market request&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>His phone has not stopped ringing. Because, fully restored, and reconditioned to the highest standards, a safe here is worth at least 50% of a new one.. And since it never dies (destroying it costs about CHF 1.00 per kilo, which is almost the price of a restoration), there is not a single player in the watchmaking, jewelry, pharmaceutical, banking, arms or precious stones industries who does not know this holy haunt, a nightmare spot for life&#8217;s crooks, since Swiss private individuals, and even those from elsewhere, come here to browse and visit.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_small\"><\/div><div class=\"w-image align_none\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2342\" height=\"1528\" src=\"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/02b_JSH-Swiss-Watch-Passport-Ferner-Pecaut-Freres-IMG_0645_LR.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/02b_JSH-Swiss-Watch-Passport-Ferner-Pecaut-Freres-IMG_0645_LR.jpg 2342w, https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/02b_JSH-Swiss-Watch-Passport-Ferner-Pecaut-Freres-IMG_0645_LR-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/02b_JSH-Swiss-Watch-Passport-Ferner-Pecaut-Freres-IMG_0645_LR-600x391.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2342px) 100vw, 2342px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_small\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-6 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"w-btn-wrapper align_none\"><a class=\"w-btn us-btn-style_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ferner-coffres-forts.ch\"><span class=\"w-btn-label\">Web Official<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-6 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"w-btn-wrapper align_none\"><a class=\"w-btn us-btn-style_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/?attachment_id=12198\"><span class=\"w-btn-label\">Print Version (French)<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There is magic in this improbable universe at Cr\u00eat du Locle inhabited by safes.

Member of Impressum, PressTourim and Club Suisse de la Presse, this Ivory Coast-born Swiss, descendant of a family of watchmakers, co-founded the magazines Montres Passion &amp; Uhren Welt at Ringier in 1993 with Kenan Tegin, as well as the Prix Montre de l'Ann\u00e9e. Founded in 2005, his press agency 1876 News (formerly T\u00e0G Press +41T) contributes to some twenty media through a network of around ten journalists or experts. These include Journal Suisse d'Horlogerie (2008-2014), Heure Suisse\\\/Schweiz and Ann\u00e9e Horlog\u00e8re, F\\\/D\\\/E (2011-2014), Watchonista.com (2013-2019). In 2019, he founded and chaired \\\"JSH Archives &amp; Patrimoine\\\" to relaunch the Swiss watchmaking journal JSH. Then in 2021, he built on his very first editorial venture, the \\\"bloghorloger.ch\\\" established on the web in 2003, to come back online with the Swiss Watch Passport\u00ae (by JSH\u00ae).

Member of Impressum, PressTourim and Club Suisse de la Presse, this Ivory Coast-born Swiss, descendant of a family of watchmakers, co-founded the magazines Montres Passion &amp; Uhren Welt at Ringier in 1993 with Kenan Tegin, as well as the Prix Montre de l'Ann\u00e9e. Founded in 2005, his press agency 1876 News (formerly T\u00e0G Press +41T) contributes to some twenty media through a network of around ten journalists or experts. These include Journal Suisse d'Horlogerie (2008-2014), Heure Suisse\/Schweiz and Ann\u00e9e Horlog\u00e8re, F\/D\/E (2011-2014), Watchonista.com (2013-2019). In 2019, he founded and chaired \"JSH Archives &amp; Patrimoine\" to relaunch the Swiss watchmaking journal JSH. Then in 2021, he built on his very first editorial venture, the \"bloghorloger.ch\" established on the web in 2003, to come back online with the Swiss Watch Passport\u00ae (by JSH\u00ae). Jo\u00ebl A. Grandjean is a member of the SSC, the Swiss Society of Chronometry, and of the jury of the Prix Ga\u00efa, aka the \"Nobel of watchmaking\" awarded since 1992 by the MIH, Le Mus\u00e9e International de l'Horlogerie in La Chaux-de-Fonds","sameAs":["https:\/\/grandjean.watch","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/joel.grandjean","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/grandjean.grammson\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/joel-a-grandjean-\u270d-5524357\/","https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/x.com\/tagpress","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@joela.grandjeanprowatchpre906"],"url":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/author\/joel\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12203","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12203"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12203\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12189"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12203"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12203"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12203"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
