Description: Offered is an extremely rare Tiffany & Co, desk clock designed by Matteo Thun. It was produced in Switzerland in 1989. Only 10 were made. It's plated with rhodium, which today trades at a price of $4,675.00 per ounce, and which is why this clock was so expensive to make, even in 1989. The original price of this clock was $425. That was 35 years ago. Adjust for inflation** and the original price of the clock would be $1,079.50 in today's dollars. This clock does not ever come on the market, and is a very limited piece of 20th century art. It's body is very heavy - and made of a solid metal - which my wife says "feels heavy enough to be solid gold". ** $1 in 1989 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $2.54 today, an increase of $1.54 over 35 years. The dollar had an average inflation rate of 2.7% per year between 1989 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 153.66%. The shipping charge applies to buyers in the USA.
