Tiffany & Co. expands its Time Objects series with two standout creations: the Time for Speed Clock Black Edition and the Tiffany Airways Diamond Edition. These pieces transform traditional timekeeping into kinetic sculptures that merge precision mechanics with storytelling. The Time for Speed Clock channels the spirit of vintage race cars, featuring a glossy black body, an eight-day manually wound movement by L’Épée 1839, and rotating hour and minute disks displayed on the side. A subtle Tiffany Blue "57" on the hood nods to the brand’s New York heritage.
The Tiffany Airways Diamond Edition takes a flight-inspired form, crafted as a miniature airplane encrusted with 511 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 4.5 carats. Inside its cockpit, rotating disks display the time, powered by the same high-grade movement. A bespoke stand and precision clasp create the illusion of flight, delivering a fusion of luxury, craftsmanship, and imaginative design.
