  • Catalogue Essay

    With its new “Time for Speed” collection, Tiffany & Co. has launched a limited edition mechanical clock that masterfully merges horology, automotive design, and jewelry craftsmanship into one exquisite objet d'art. Inspired by Tiffany & Co.'s rich heritage of handcrafting racing trophies, each aluminum clock replicates a 1950s race car in the house's iconic Tiffany Blue. Durable rubber tires with stainless steel spokes exude retro styling, while the brushed steel aperture evokes a racing number, indicating the hours and minutes with crisp precision.

    This limited edition clock made exclusively for the Japanese market dazzles with 192 brilliant-cut diamonds, including striking 1-carat stones at the center of each wheel. Pavé diamonds embellish the bezel, creating a glittering contrast against the smooth Tiffany Blue metal body. Details such as the "T&CO" grille and the flagship Fifth Avenue store-inspired "5" bumper provide tasteful nods to Tiffany & Co.'s storied history.

    The clockwork revs to life under a helmet-domed glass, offering a glimpse of the L’Epée in-house caliber 1855 MHD mechanics in motion. With just a turn of the steering wheel to set the time and a pull-back winding mechanism, the “Time for Speed” race car clock playfully blends heritage and innovation.

    The present example is one of a limited edition of 50 pieces, making it a fantastic decorative piece that will tastefully brighten any room.
