This features a visible Tiret New York engraving; additional train wheel bridge with Tiret New York engraving on side and an oscillating surface smoothed weight.
Not much else of use in the fluffy press release I’m afraid :-)

Boy, do Tiret know how to produce fugly watches or what?
This is the ‘Second Chance’ tribute to the Chrysler building in New York City.
It has double time zones, double chronographs and double date windows for double the visual delight.
Err, yeah.
The watch features a stainless Steel Case and two ETA Movements (251.471).
What do you think? Am I being overly harsh, or is this really super-ugly?
Perhaps better known for their hideous gorgeous bling-tastic models featuring hip-hop artist faces, Tiret have thankfully leant to the side of subtlety with their Automatic Chronograph.
Equipped with an ETA 7750 movement and customized for Tiret, further details are scant at the moment, but let’s just hope they keep this one away from Usher ….
Hip-hop musical artist Usher commissioned a special one of a kind watch from New York based jeweler and watch maker Tiret. The Usher watch has an oblong oval shaped case with a diamond designed portrait of Usher on the dial. Movement is via two Swiss ETA chronograph quartz movements (dual-time).
Using all natural stones, the watch has almost 10 carats of diamonds on it and 1106 stones all over the watch. Diamonds include white as well as naturally yellow diamonds. Tiret says that the watch was recently featured in a diamond exhibit at the Natural History Museum in London.
Tiret only makes custom timepieces and jewelry at this time. Usher is said to have paid $250,000 for the bespoke timepiece.
The box that Tiret supplied the watch in doubles as a humidor for 78 cigars and also has a motif of Usher’s face on it.
Not sure I’m exactly a fan of this piece though. What do you think?
