Lot Details

The Miffy Moonphase “Not Tiffany Blue” is a limited edition of 100 pieces that playfully merges contemporary independent watchmaking with the beloved character created by Dutch artist Dick Bruna. The present example, numbered 57 of the series, is distinguished by its bright turquoise dial—nicknamed “Not Tiffany Blue”—which serves as a bold backdrop for the moonphase display featuring Miffy herself. Produced in a strictly limited run, the watch exemplifies the growing intersection between collectible horology and pop culture design. Its crisp execution and instantly recognizable motif have made the model particularly appealing among a new generation of collectors. Lighthearted yet thoughtfully produced, it stands as one of the more distinctive recent interpretations of the moonphase complication. In their own words: "The Miffy Moonphase “Miffany Blue” is a playful yet refined timepiece that blends whimsical design with classic watchmaking. Born in Utrecht and created by Dick Bruna, Miffy embodies the minimalist, thoughtful design principles long associated with the Netherlands. Her clean lines and timeless simplicity have elevated her beyond a children’s character to an internationally recognized symbol of design—making her a natural and fitting presence on a carefully crafted Dutch watch. I create, develop, and craft each watch in Dordrecht, reinforcing its deep Dutch roots. By bringing together Miffy’s heritage from Utrecht with contemporary watchmaking in Dordrecht, I see the Miffy Moonphase “Miffany Blue” as more than just a timepiece—it is my celebration of Dutch design and craftsmanship." - Laurens de Rijke, founder and watchmaker of De Rijke.
