Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis built her recognizable style on a simple formula: impeccably tailored dresses, a color palette confined to two tones and jewelry deployed with parsimony — a row of pearls, a pair of earrings and just one bracelet at her wrist. That bracelet more often than not was a 1960s Jean Schlumberger creation for Tiffany & Company, a paillonné enamel bangle in a cross-stitch motif called croisillon.

So faithfully did she wear it, owning a collection of different colors, that it was nicknamed the “Jackie bracelet.”

More than 60 years after the introduction of the bangle, Tiffany & Company has miniaturized it into a decorative ring and sealed it inside a watch to embrace a dial.

The Croisillon Paillonné Enamel watch, released in February, is the latest expression of Tiffany’s strategic approach to watchmaking: turning recognizable jewelry styles into timepieces. Since the jeweler was acquired by the luxury giant LVMH in 2021, it has regularly applied that blueprint.

“This approach reflects Tiffany’s identity as a jeweler,” said Nicolas Beau, the senior vice president of Tiffany Horlogerie in Geneva. “Our watches draw from the house’s design heritage while evolving these iconic motifs through the craftsmanship and precision of watchmaking.”
