First Look: Tiffany & Co. Unveils New Blue Book High-Jeweled Watches
By Roberta Naas
In an exclusive preview today, we had the opportunity for an up-close and personal look at the watches in the new Tiffany & Co. 2016 Blue Book. Every year, Tiffany & Co. puts together special pieces that highlight the evolution of the brand’s legendary jewelry and watches. This year’s theme explores nature in the concept of The Art of Transformation. The storied Tiffany Blue Book is an annual presentation of one-of-a-kind creations for the brand’s special clients. This year, in addition to stunning sea creatures bedecked in shimmering diamonds and gemstones, Tiffany & Co is unveiling a host of specially made high-jewelry watches.
Easily one of the most romantic watches to be revealed this year, there are four Art-Deco inspired pieces — influenced by Tiffany & Co. designs from the Roaring Twenties — re-imagined with rectangular cases, mesh bracelets, diamonds, sapphires, and emeralds. There is also a series of three different oval bejeweled cocktail watches that feature colored stones set into the top of the case and the dial in graduated colors from dark to light – to give a scintillating waterfall effect.
