Tiffany & Co. Brass Executive Desk Clock Set

$348.00
A 1980s Tiffany & Co. brass-tone executive desk clock set featuring a large rectangular quartz mantel clock and a matching round Tiffany alarm clock with engraved 1985 lid. With its clean Roman numeral dial, architectural lines, and corporate presentation engraving, this set captures the polished boardroom aesthetic of late-1980s luxury office décor.

Both clocks are battery operated and tested working (see video), with both timekeeping and the alarm function confirmed on the smaller clock (the larger clock doesn't have an alarm). The larger clock presents as a substantial desk or credenza piece, while the smaller round clock adds a companion bedside or travel-style element. Together, they make a striking display set for collectors of Tiffany desk accessories, designer office décor, and late-20th-century executive gifts.

📚 Historical Context

During the 1980s, Tiffany & Co. offered a range of luxury desk accessories and corporate presentation pieces that blended refined materials with practical office use. Brass-tone clocks like this reflected the era’s executive design language: clean geometry, metallic finishes, and understated prestige.

Corporate gift sets were especially popular for milestone anniversaries, retirements, and leadership recognition, making surviving examples like this a strong crossover between horology, designer décor, and business history. The combination of a larger desk clock and matching alarm companion gives this set the feel of a complete executive suite rather than a single decorative object.
