Luxury jewelry and specialty retailer Tiffany and Co. is about to expand its offering by introducing a new Swiss-made watch collection. The vintage-style collection is inspired by company founder Charles Tiffany, as well as the reference of a “New York minute,” and are also said to be designed after a watch once worn by American President, Franklin D. Roosevelt. The watches will be available in a 40mm 3-hand model, a 42mm chronograph, and a limited edition 40mm calendar watch in 18k rose gold. The CT60 Watch Collection is available from Tiffany now, starting at $4,250.
