\n\tTiffany is in its sporty watch era and it\u2019s hitting all the right design notes. Following the release of its new Tiffany Timer in January<\/a>\u2014a chronograph<\/a> with an El Primero movement housed in a platinum case with a Tiffany Blue dial\u2014the company is already dropping another iteration. For those that didn\u2019t get their hands on one of the 60 limited editions from the first release, a new variant in titanium with a platinum bezel and a navy blue dial with Tiffany Blue accents will be available in September in a slightly larger run of 100 pieces only. \u201cIt was a natural evolution of the\u00a0Tiffany\u00a0Timer rather than a response to a particular trend or request,\u201d Nicolas Beau, senior vice president of Tiffany & Co. Horology tells Robb Report. \u201cTitanium brings a different character to the watch (lighter and more contemporary), while the dark blue dial with touches of\u00a0Tiffany\u00a0Blue gives it a very distinctive expression.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tTiffany & Co.\u2019s archival Timer chronograph pocket watch from 1866<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTiffany & Co.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Tiffany Timer<\/a> is inspired by an archival pocket watch from the brand\u2014its first chronograph\u2014created 160 years ago. Charles Lewis Tiffany began selling Swiss-made watches in 1847, becoming Patek Philippe\u2019s first U.S. retailer and forging a partnership that endures today. Tiffany introduced its own chronograph pocket watch, the Tiffany & Co. Timing Watch, in 1866, followed two years later by its first Swiss assembly workshop. By 1874, the jeweler had established a full-fledged manufacture in Geneva, producing chronographs and calendar watches with its own movements, before selling the facility to Patek Philippe in 1880.<\/p>\n

\n\tToday, Tiffany & Co. draws on the watchmaking expertise within the LVMH stable, its parent company. This modern day chronograph, like its predecessor, comes equipped with a Zenith El Primero caliber. The new Tiffany Timer\u2014this version and the previous platinum iteration\u2014is powered by Zenith\u2019s El Primero 400, a modern evolution of the groundbreaking high-frequency automatic chronograph caliber introduced in 1969. Beating at 36,000 vibrations per hour\u2014versus the 28,800 vph typical of many luxury chronographs\u2014the movement is capable of measuring elapsed time to one-tenth of a second. \u201cThe main modification was the development of a bespoke oscillating weight featuring a hand-sculpted 18k yellow gold Bird on a Rock,\u201d Beau says. \u201cThis required the mass of the rotor to be carefully recalibrated to maintain the movement\u2019s performance and reliability. We also chose a ruthenium finish for the movement, creating a darker, more monochromatic architecture that allows the gold bird to stand out beautifully.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTiffany & Co., of course, is first and foremost a jeweler. Its roots in creating some of the world\u2019s most recognized jewels is something CEO Anthony Ledru<\/a> has stressed will always be its main focus. As a result, Beau says the most challenging aspect of creating the chronograph is realizing it, \u201cthrough the eyes of a jeweler.\u201d The piece had to deliver the performance of a chronograph, while still being unmistakably Tiffany. \u201cFrom the\u00a0Tiffany\u00a0Blue on the dial and the diamond indexes of the first edition to the Bird on a Rock oscillating weight [in 18-karat gold], every detail brings our jewelry heritage into the world of watchmaking,\u201d Beau notes. \u201cIt was also about telling the story of\u00a0Tiffany\u2019s watchmaking heritage and our longstanding connection to Geneva.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFor those that want something a bit more subdued than the platinum version, the titanium edition hits just the right note. The new $28,000 40 mm timepiece, which comes set with 12 baguette-cut diamond indexes and hands in 18-karat white gold, will be available in September. But if you want to get your hands on one, we suggest putting in the request now. \u201cThe first edition sold out instantly, which was a fantastic response and confirmed the passion for this unique timepiece!\u201d Beau confirms. But if you can\u2019t jump the line, Beau says they plan to explore a few more complications in the future. Nevertheless, the chronograph is surely the one you don\u2019t want to get away.<\/p>\n
