The jeweller expands its Time Objects collection with updated takes on the interactive sculptures, adding diamonds and glossy finishes to the Time for Speed and Tiffany Airways clocks

Time may be a luxury, but Tiffany & Co. gives it form—specifically, the form of a race car and an airplane, created as horological sculptures that both function and charm.

The renowned house’s Time for Speed and Tiffany Airways clocks turn childhood whimsy into mechanical art, where precious materials and expert engineering come together in a playful ode to clockmaking.

Each piece in the Time Objects collection, now available on the Tiffany & Co. website and in boutiques, may seem like a luxurious toy at first glance. But these design objects are, first and foremost, timepieces—with full horological capabilities and impressive craftsmanship.

The Time for Speed, which debuted in Tiffany Blue in 2023, returns in a glossy black finish that transforms its aluminum frame. A “57” detail across the hood nods to the Tiffany Landmark flagship on New York’s 57th Street, with the brand’s signature blue offering a subtle accent. Priced at US$45,000, the piece does more than just liven an office desk.

Created in collaboration with nearly two-century-old Swiss clockmaker L’Epée 1839, the movement winds manually by rolling the car backward on its real rubber wheels, clicking the mechanism into place. It’s not just timekeeping, but interactive sculpture at its best.

Its airborne counterpart, the Tiffany Airways Diamond Edition clock, is an updated nod to the jeweler’s heritage as much as its horological ambitions. The clock boasts 511 round diamonds totaling 4.5 carats, sparkling across the stainless-steel body of the airplane.

Priced at US$75,000, the clock features another custom L’Epée 1839 movement, this one manually wound through the rotating propellor to activate the timekeeping function.

Together, these objects elevate familiar forms into kinetic art, now in new and elegant styles. Also part of the Time Objects collection is the Tiffany Taxi, debuted in 2023, that pays homage to 1950s New York with its timekeeping mechanism replicating a car engine.

Tiffany & Co.’s latest additions to the Time Objects collection offer striking and whimsical additions to any desk, shelf, or coffee table.
