For its inaugural participation in LVMH Watch Week this year, Tiffany & Co. introduces the Jean Schlumberger by Tiffany Twenty Four Stone watch. As a new expression of the House’s celebrated Sixteen Stone collection, the watch dial features a rotating ring decorated with a cross-stitch motif in 18k yellow gold. Limited in production, the watch is presented in an 18k white gold case and set with a total of 707 diamonds of over 6.5 total carats.

The diamond-set watch dial is made in two sections: a fixed central disc and an outer ring that features the Sixteen Stone collection’s signature cross-stitch motif in 18k yellow gold with 24 round brilliant diamonds of 1 total carat. Spinning freely with every gesture of the wearer’s wrist, the rotating ring creates the sense of movement that characterized so many of Jean Schlumberger’s designs. Contrasting with the diamonds, the 18k yellow gold hands match the yellow gold of the cross-stitches.

Showcasing Tiffany & Co.’s legendary expertise in diamond setting, the central disc of the dial and the watch case are snow-set with round brilliant diamonds. Snow setting is a technique where diamonds of varying sizes are artistically arranged in a close-knit pattern to create a fluid and sparkling surface, minimizing the visible metal and enhancing the brilliance of the timepiece. The dial center is set with 220 diamonds of 1.32 carats and the 39 mm case is set with 413 diamonds of 3.8 total carats, the latter representing around 55 hours of gem-setting work. In total, the jewelry element of the Twenty Four Stone watch represents 80 hours of work by the House’s goldsmiths and gem-setters.

The case-back, engraved with a sunburst pattern inspired by Jean Schlumberger’s Floral Arrows brooch, is set with an additional 21 diamonds. The winding crown, inspired by the iconic 6-prong Tiffany® Setting, is set with a solitaire diamond of 0.47 carats and the Tiffany Blue® alligator strap is fastened with a white gold T buckle set with 49 round brilliant diamonds of 0.18 carats.

The Jean Schlumberger by Tiffany Twenty Four Stone watch is powered by a fine Swiss-made self-winding mechanical movement, Calibre LTM 2100, which provides a power reserve of 38 hours.
