Tiffany & Co. continues to expand the creative boundaries of watchmaking inspired by its heritage, presenting new Rope collection high jewelry watch masterpieces.
The new creations inherit the iconic Rope collection design of the brand's legendary designer Jean Schlumberger, reinterpreting the classic twisted-rope gold element on exceptional timepieces, set with diamonds totaling more than 32 carats and aquamarines totaling more than 12 carats, demonstrating the brand's deep expertise in gemstone selection and setting.
Tiffany's archive holds several Rope collection pieces created by Jean Schlumberger, including an 18K gold brooch from the early 1950s set with diamonds and rubies, with a striking aquamarine as its focal point.
For nearly two centuries, Tiffany has been renowned for exceptional gemstones and exquisite craftsmanship. Since the late 19th century, driven by founder Charles Lewis Tiffany's passion for rare gemstones and the professional contributions of renowned gemologist Dr. George Frederick Kunz, the brand has continually brought extraordinary gemstones to the world, establishing its pioneering position in gemstone exploration. Today, Tiffany combines classic jewelry design, rare gemstones and exceptional Swiss watchmaking expertise, continuing the brand's rich heritage with contemporary timepiece masterpieces.
This 37mm Rope aquamarine high jewelry watch features 32 trapezoid diamond petals totaling 10.38 carats, creating a graceful floral form that interprets the beauty of nature in an abstract way. Crafted in platinum, the watch's dial center is set with 40 trapezoid-cut aquamarines totaling 1.61 carats. Polished gold twisted-rope elements interplay with the brilliance of the gemstones, further endowing the piece with rich layers and three-dimensional texture as light shifts and flows. The bracelet is entirely set with 108 baguette diamonds totaling more than 19 carats and 61 baguette aquamarines totaling more than 9 carats, achieving a seamlessly radiant design.
The entire watch is set with 154 baguette diamonds totaling more than 32 carats and 106 baguette aquamarines totaling more than 12 carats, with more than 120 hours of meticulous craftsmanship and hand-setting in total.
Tiffany's new Rope collection high jewelry watches draw on the brand's exceptional design heritage, interpreting timeless beauty through original ingenuity and bold vision, demonstrating the brand's unwavering pursuit of innovation and exquisite craftsmanship.
