They say that by looking inward, you are granted the ability to look ahead. No other brand embodies this ethos than Tiffany & Co., which continues to bring forth new collections by taking inspiration from the legendary designs deep within their archives. The latest of their reimaginings? The Rope Watch by Tiffany.
Jean Schlumberger was one of the most important and influential jewelry and watch designers of the 20th century, clocking in more than three decades at Tiffany & Co. since 1956. His Rope designs were inspired by the tassels, braids, and weaves he was surrounded with growing up in a textile-manufacturing family in Alsace, France.

The Rope Watch comes in 18k yellow gold with either a white mother-of-pearl or glossy black dial. The wide bezel surrounding the dial is highlighted by two circles of polished gold rope separated by a ring of round brilliant diamonds.
In a display of the Tiffany & Co. artisans’ attention to detail, the sparkle of the diamonds, the polished gold of the rope accents catch the light to create extra depth and dimension. The case-back features an engraved sun logo and a diamond to represent this new collection.
In a unique fusion of contemporary aesthetic and watchmaking technology, the Rope Watch features Tiffany & Co.’s first solar-powered movement. Designed in collaboration with and produced by the renowned Swiss movement manufacturer, La Joux-Perret, the advanced technology provides autonomous power to the watch for eight months when fully charged. Solar cells are set beneath the semi-translucent dial, enabling the movement to charge. Outdoors on a sunny day, it takes just two minutes to charge the watch sufficiently to run for 24 hours.
