About Brown Safe

The Most Impregnable Watch Case in the World

In the arena of protection, the Chronos Safe sets the gold standard other luxury safe manufacturers can only hope to achieve, within decades.

Chronos safes meet and exceed our M protection rating, the highest level of burglary protection offered at Brown Safe.

The M protection process begins by housing the entire watch case within a solid casing of continuously welded military grade ballistic plate armor.

Twelve massive titanium locking bolts eradicate door vulnerability while reducing the overall weight of the lock mechanism. The result is an excessively reinforced door that opens with less effort than our base protection safe models.

As a compliment to the locking bolts, all vital watch case bolt work components are shielded from external attacks by reinforced hardplates.

In the event of a burglary intrusion, multiple glass plate triggered relocking devices instantly engage, pinning the lock and all door locking bolts tightly closed.

Chronos Key Watch Case Protection Features

      1/2 inch Ballistic Armor door

This ballistic armor truly provides next generation protection levels.
The extreme density of the armor produces a door with more penetration protection than a steel door three times thicker, qualifying the Chronos as the highest protection rated safe Brown Safe offers.

An additional breakthrough benefit of our ballistic armor safe is the Chronos is less than half the weight of a steel safe equal in protection.
This makes the Chronos the only ultra-security safe capable of being installed in your home's upstairs areas.
The excessive steel weight of ultra-security safes normally prevents them from installations in upper level locations without excessive structural modifications to the floor.

      1/4 inch Ballistic Armor body construction

The quarter inch interlocking double welded Ballistic Armor body of a Chronos safe is cable of defeating multiple .50 caliber anti-sniper rounds, a feat no other steel we've tested is capable of performing.

Attempts to penetrate this armor with carbide tipped drill bits also prove fruitless as the armor hardness is an even match to that of the bits.

The watch case body of each Chronos is constructed using a highly reinforced interlocking six-sided construction method. All wall, ceiling, and floor intersections are bound both inside and outside with high strength arc welds. This includes seamless welds that run along all outside seams creating a fully enclosed armor casing.
All five walls are comprised of solid ballistic plate armor.

     Four way bolt work with anti-drive

The Chronos safe features multiple two inch solid titanium locking bolts on all four sides of the safe door. No other safe in the world does this. When coupled with the extensively reinforced door jamb, the Chronos denies any attempt at leveraged entry.

All locking bolts are held fast by our proven and highly acclaimed dynamic anti-drive system that makes it unfeasible to force any bolt open through mechanical or hydraulic means.

     Flush door frame design with overbuilt spread resistant doorframe

The door frames on most safes, even high security designs, are normally vulnerable to prying and side drilling. Not the case with Chronos door frame as the safe receives aggressive reinforcement in this area. Every Chronos incorporates a box in frame design that carries quadruple the ballistic armor thickness at the door's frame.

In addition, the ballistic armor door interlocks within the door frame, creating a flush surface of solid ballistic steel that prevents the insertion of any pry bar or hydraulic leverage mechanism.
To top it off, a ballistic steel internal crossbeam positioned at a 45 degree deflective angle runs along the entire door bolt frame to repel all side door drill attack attempts.

     Glass plate relocking system

Chronos safes incorporate and advanced relocking system to detect and actively react to attacks. Any effort to punch, drill, torch, or in other ways maliciously access the safe lock instant triggers numerous relocking pins randomly located at key door bolt work positions.

With the relock system engaged, the safe is sealed tight to all means of entry and can only be reopened once each relocking pin has been located and removed, a near impossibility given a thief's limited time constraints.

Once relocker bolts have activated, the safe must be opened by a certified locksmith using blueprints supplied by Brown Safe specific to that safe. Without these detailed prints and instructions, it would take a seasoned safecracker days to gain access to the safe, ensuring the safety of the precious contents within.

      UL approved high security Group 2 biometric lock

This high security commercial rated lock offers quick and convenient access with industry grade protection. Built by one of the most respected lock makers in the safe world, this high use lock is designed to provide a century’s worth of reliable operation.

Combination safes are always vulnerable to unauthorized entry as the entry code can be discovered by others. Loosing or forgetting a combination is another weakness to this traditional entry method.
Chronos safes provide a highly convenient solution to this vulnerability through the inclusion of fingerprint entry. With this ultra easy method of entry, the need for compromising combinations is eliminated as the safe opens only for the fingers of those that are directly registered.

     Chip carbide hard plate

This thick protective plate is positioned directly between the door and lock, adding an additional level of shielding to the safe's most vulnerable component.
Comprised of the same ultra dense material that is embedded in the tips of the drill bits used to attempt entry into safes, chip carbide hardplate is a safe crackers worst nightmare as it will dull and/or shatter countless drill bits that attempt to penetrate its thickened jagged surface.

     Double anchor locking bolt carriage design

The locking bolts responsible for securing the door are fastened at two distinct locations along each bolt. Each paired set of solid steel anchors is spaced wide apart for additional support. The carriage anchors are held fast directly to the plate steel door by seamless welds.
This robust method of bolt carriage reinforcement is rarely seen in the safe industry. The majority of safe companies hold their bolts using a single thin carriage anchor, making the safe extremely vulnerable to pry bar and leverage based attacks.

     Ball and roller bearing hinges

To best accommodate the door mass, Chronos doors feature high load bearing ball and roller hinges. The result is an exceptionally fortified door with silky smooth operation.

      Four 5/8 inch floor anchor bolts

To best ensure a solid floor connection, All Chronos Safes are firmly anchored using four massive hardened floor bolts. During installation, these long bolts run through anchor holes in the safes steel floor plate securing the safe firmly to the wood or concrete floor.
When anchored to a concrete floor, the thief would have better luck attempting to uproot the entire concrete section around the safe rather than trying to pry the safe from its substantial purchase.
When anchored to a wood floors support beam, it would be necessary to remove the entire section of floor including the beam in order to dislodge the safe.
These are lengthy major operations that in most instances criminals have neither the time nor resources to perform.
