For its inaugural participation in LVMH Watch Week this year, Tiffany & Co. introduces the Eternity by Tiffany Wisteria watch. The exquisite timepiece is a tribute to the House’s illustrious horological legacy, as one of the first houses to master the art of combining fine jewelry with watchmaking. Set with the Eternity collection’s signature diamond hour markers, the vividly colored enamel dial of the watch replicates the floral motif of the Wisteria lamp, one of Tiffany Studios’ most celebrated designs from the early 20th century.

The dial of the Tiffany Wisteria watch glows with the intensity of gemstones, executed in plique-à-jour enameling. The transparent enamel, characteristic of plique-à-jour, allows light to permeate through and reflect off the dial plate, showcasing the exquisite enamel handiwork. The hand-crafted dials mean each watch is distinctly one of a kind.

Set into each of these coloured enamel Wisteria dials are 12 hour markers of a differently cut diamond: round brilliant, baguette, cushion, Tiffany True®, marquise, Asscher, heart, pear, oval, emerald, triangle and princess. The various cuts of diamonds celebrate Tiffany’s authority and heritage as the purveyor of the world’s finest diamonds.

The watch features 709 total diamonds of over 5 total carats. Most of the diamonds are on the case, which scintillates with 627 snow-set diamonds in eight different diameters totaling over 1 carat. The bezel is set with 59 diamonds of over 1.5 total carats, while the dial is set with 12 diamonds of 1.9 carats, and the crown — which adopts the six-prong design of the iconic Tiffany® Setting engagement ring— is set with a round brilliant diamond of 0.42 carats.

The entire process of crafting, setting and assembling all components requires over 150 hours of labor, with 80 hours devoted to the hand enameling and assembly of the dial and 70 hours to the snow-setting of the diamonds.
