Tiffany & Co. unveils Rope Watch inspired by Jean Schlumberger's Legacy

American luxury jeweler Tiffany & Co. has unveiled a new jewelry watch that pays tribute to the memorably poetic creations of legendary Tiffany designer Jean Schlumberger.

Titled 'the Rope Watch', the new masterpiece blends timeless elegance with inventive watchmaking technology and celebrates the visionary heritage of Schlumberger while also affirming Tiffany's commitment to boldly creative and sustainable watchmaking.

Inspired by Schlumberger's iconic twisted motif, it features a wide bezel surrounding a white mother-of-pearl or glossy black dial highlighted by two circles of solid gold rope, separated by a ring of round brilliant diamonds. Evoking textile braids and weaves, the rope motif is also incorporated on the minute hand and the case-back has an engraved sun logo and a diamond. The watch is complemented by an alligator strap in Tiffany Blue for the mother-of-pearl dial or black for the glossy black dial.

Beyond its refined aesthetic, the Rope watch marks an innovative technological advance for Tiffany & Co., featuring its first solar-powered movement, designed in collaboration with Swiss movement manufacturer La Joux-Perret. Set beneath the dial, the discreet solar cells provide the watch with autonomous power for eight months without exposure to sunlight.

The Tiffany & Co. Rope Watch is available directly through Tiffany & Co.'s official website, it's flagship stores, such as the iconic Fifth Avenue location in New York City, as well as select authorized retailers worldwide.
