Tiffany & Co. presents the ‘Bird on a Flying Tourbillon Azure Blossom’ High Jewellery timepiece in a limited edition of 10 pieces.
End of March Tiffany & Co. has launched its latest high jewellery campaign, highlighting the brand’s renowned Bird on a Rock brooch and other emblematic pieces. Photographed by Carlijn Jacobs, the campaign is a contemporary interpretation of some of Tiffany & Co.’s most iconic high jewellery images, reimagining them through a modern lens.
As Jean Schlumberger’s iconic masterpiece is in the focus at Tiffany, the House just unveiled a new high jewellery timepiece in the theme – the ‘Bird on a Flying Tourbillon Azure Blossom’, in a limited edition of 10 pieces. Tiffany & Co. introduced a flying tourbillon watch last spring and the 39mm white gold novelty is the latest artistic interpretation of that piece. It brings together five different and highly specialized artistic crafts: champlevé enameling, lacquer work, miniature gold sculpting, diamond setting and the hand-faceting of sapphire crystal.
It features a multi-layered dial of champlevé enamel with appliqué lacquered flowers, a diamond-set sub-dial displaying hours and minutes, a diamond-set 18k gold Bird on a Flying Tourbillon mechanism housed beneath a faceted sapphire crystal dome.
For the movement, Tiffany & Co. collaborated with Swiss Haute Horlogerie movement manufacture Artime to create a bespoke movement – the Caliber AFT24T01 with a flying tourbillon and a power reserve of 50 hours.
