Since the Swiss are known for making good watches, Swiss company TF Est. 1968 included a couple tiny watch mechanisms into its unique cufflinks. The limited edition 'Tourbillion' range includes three different cufflink designs by the name 'Open Side,' featuring different colorways in shiny black and yellow carbon, plated chocolate and rose gold.
Just like an actual watch component, the tiny tourbillons are capable of movement, powered by the wearer's motions as their arms and wrists change positions. To ensure that the displays looking into the mechanisms are both pristine and durable, a sapphire-treated crystal was used to showcase the innerworkings of the cufflinks.
Pricing on the unique cufflink collection has yet to be released, although it has been announced that only 1,986 sets of each will be produced in each style.
