Marking 160 Years in Time: The Limited Edition Tiffany Timer Boasts Tiffany & Co.'s Watchmaking Ingenuity

Renowned for luxury and quality, Tiffany & Co. may not always be a household name among timepiece enthusiasts, primarily due to the jewelry-centric nature of its timepieces. However, this year appears promising with the unveiling of the brand’s latest release – the Tiffany Timer, a special tribute to the 160th anniversary of Tiffany & Co.’s first stopwatch. Recalling an illustrious past and a capacity for innovation, this limited edition piece is powered by the legendary El Primero chronograph movement from Zenith.

The Tiffany Timer (ref. 75450125) harkens back to the brand’s first-ever chronograph, an 1866 pocket watch named the Tiffany & Co. Timing Watch. But where the Timer truly stands out is its bold reinterpretation of vintage style with innovative design elements. Rather than mimicking the aesthetic of the original pocket watch, it channels the stopwatch functionality of the 1866 piece wound with the enduring El Primero chronograph movement.

The 40mm platinum case of the Tiffany Timer exudes timeless elegance with a fully polished finish. Sapphire crystals on the bezel and screw-on caseback add to the watch’s luxury credentials, while 100-meter water resistance ensures it is as robust as it is beautiful. Moreover, the iconic six-pronged ‘Tiffany Setting’ inspires the design of the faceted winding crown—a nod to the brand’s famous diamond solitaire rings.

While Tiffany & Co.’s venture into horology may seem novel to some, the luxury brand demonstrates a dedication to marrying their iconic style with precise, reliable mechanisms, resulting in timepieces that are as fascinating as they are fashionable.
