I wonder why the need to display ones watches seems very strange to me, only time I want to display my watch is when its on the finest winder in the world my wrist.All others are all stopped and not visible to anyone until I change my daily wear then just re-wind and set and go.

What you are looking for can be done, but you would need to house a battery in the case, pressure switches on the bottom, and a loud alarm (and it would take a thief about 20 seconds to disable)

It's a moot point because that case is not meant for security. If I was going to steal your watches, I would simply break it open. Only the village idiot would try to carry that out.

If you insist on displaying your watches, you need to invest in a better solution; one that has security in mind right from the beginning.

I doubt any housecleaner would dare to steal in Kuwait or elsewhere in the Middle East. I stayed in Saudi, Qatar and in the Emirates, very low crime rates.

You are absolutely right, but such a tower with an unattended cleaning crew is asking for trouble.
And believe me most of the missing stuff turn out to be taken by the cleaning people over here, its not like they are thieves but if someone sees an item that is worth 2 or 3 years of their income they are really being tempted to take it, its like an invitation!
