Since 2022, Tiffany & Co. has toyed with timekeeping in jubilant fashion, with its Time Objects collection – a collection of table clocks that fuse form and function with whimsical ingenuity – like MB&F and its arachnoid objets, in collaboration with the Swiss Jura’s clockmaker non pareil, L’Epée (since 1839).
Today, the Fifth-Avenue legend of baguette engagement rings and Audrey Hepburn iconography gets even more creative with the debut of the Time for Speed clock in black, a bold new colorway, and Tiffany Airways Diamond Edition, a high-end evolution of the previous aviation-inspired clock.
Tiffany & Co.’s legacy of creating exquisite home objects dates to the mid-19th century, when Tiffany introduced innovative designs often conceived by visionary designers like Edward C. Moore.
A striking interpretation of a race car, the Time for Speed clock is presented in black for the first time. It boasts a glossy black frame accented by a Tiffany Blue “57” detail on the hood, a subtle nod to the address of the Landmark, the House’s iconic New York flagship store.
A manually wound mechanical movement—an in-house caliber by L’Epée 1839 that is renowned for its precision and reliability—powers the clock. The impressive eight-day power reserve ensures lasting performance. Time is ingeniously displayed via rotating hour and minute disks located on the side of the car body, a testament to innovative design.
The Tiffany Airways Diamond Edition clock pays tribute to Tiffany & Co.’s legendary expertise in diamonds. The meticulous design incorporates 66 round brilliant diamonds (3.1 total carats) adorning the nose and a further 445 round brilliant diamonds (1.4 total carats) within the cockpit, representing a total of 511 round brilliant diamonds totaling 4.5 total carats.
The manually wound mechanical movement, an in-house caliber by L’Epée 1839, offers an eight-day power reserve. Hours and minutes are elegantly displayed on large stainless steel disks at the plane’s nose, with the cockpit’s cage culminating in an arrow-shaped display that points to the current time. The piece can be showcased independently or mounted on a stainless steel stand. The plane creates the illusion of taking flight when secured to the stand through an innovative clasp.
The collection will continue to grow with new introductions each year.
