Tiffany & Co., the American style icon with over 150 years of design heritage, presents one of the most fetching gift ideas for the festive season – the Tiffany Grand watches for men and women.

Introduced in 2005, these Swiss-made timepieces take inspiration from Tiffany's rectangular watch designs of the 30's and 40's and echo the style panache of Hollywood and Newport during that period. Reflecting the Art Moderne architecture of Tiffany's famous Fifth Avenue flagship store, the Tiffany Grand features a six-piece case construction and dials with Arabic numerals in a classic typeface. The watches come in pure metal or accentuated by choice diamonds, making them ideal for the boardroom as well as for evening wear.

Pegah Goldooz, General Manager of Tiffany & Co. in the UAE commented: "Tiffany's watch heritage is enriched by design, manufacture and innovation that goes back to 1853 when the celebrated Atlas clock was installed at its famous Fifth Avenue Store.

As a timepiece that functions flawlessly to this day, it ticked off Tiffany's reputation as a fine clock and timepiece maker. This festive season Tiffany unveils another classic – the Tiffany Grand - whose exquisitely crafted dials are emphasised by elegant stainless steel bracelets and leather straps.”

The magnum opus of the Tiffany Grand collection is the Rectangular Chronograph, featuring a quartz resonator; hour, minute and large sweep seconds hands in stainless steel; with rhodium dial and date window on a stainless steel bracelet. The sharp contrast of colour between stainless steel and rhodium make it the most compelling piece from the collection.

The Tiffany Grand Stainless Steel quartz resonator Dual Time Zone with stainless steel bracelet and white lacquer or copper-coloured dial with brown alligator strap, is eminently suited for the frequent traveler, allowing one to know at a glance, the time in two different time zones. Clarity, pleasing colour combinations and the assurance of Tiffany's high standard of quality make this model a must-have accessory for those constantly on the move.

The large Tiffany Grand in stainless steel is offered with a stainless steel bracelet, and has an automatic mechanical movement watch with three hands, date window and white lacquer dial with copper-finish. Its smaller version has a white lacquer dial, both with quartz resonator movement and two hands with sweep seconds sub dial. This Tiffany Grand duo is a perfect gift idea for the elegant couple.

The Tiffany Grand stainless steel and diamond quartz resonator, on the other hand, offers coloured dials in periwinkle, lilac and copper with stainless steel bracelet. Striking the right balance between masculine and feminine design elements, this watch is sure to be an instant hit with power dressers.

Pure lines, subtle colour combinations with options in steel bracelets and alligator leather straps, and above all, instantlyreadable time faces make the Tiffany Grand an elegant accessory for the discerning few and a sure delight as gift for the festive season. What's more, every Tiffany Grand watch comes wrapped in Tiffany's famous Blue Box, symbolic of life's most memorable moments.

Discover the subdued elegance of Tiffany Grand timepieces now on display at Tiffany & Co. boutiques in Mall of the Emirates, Atlantis, Deira City Centre, Burjuman in Dubai and Abu Dhabi Mall, Marina Mall in Abu Dhabi.
