Unveiling the TC Nexus: A Revolution in Men's Accessories

Titan Ring Designs' Innovative Tie Clip Redefines Men's Fashion

Discover the TC Nexus, a limited edition, mechanical tie clip that reimagines the traditional accessory with a blend of artistry, innovation, and precision engineering. Designed by Trevor D. Hirschi of Titan Ring Designs, this tie clip is a testament to the transformative power of design in everyday objects.

Driven by his fascination for mechanical components and a desire to create a unique tie clip, Hirschi drew inspiration from his previous designs and experiences as a designer, jeweler, and CNC machinist. The result is the TC Nexus, a tie clip that stands out for its fluidity, flexibility, and the absence of an internal spring, a common feature in traditional tie clips. Instead, the TC Nexus uses the natural spring and elasticity of titanium, offering a satisfying snap when operated.

The creation of the TC Nexus is a meticulous process that begins with a fully functional 3D CAD model. The tie clip is then brought to life one piece at a time using a state-of-the-art CNC milling machine. Each component is carefully finished by hand after machining to ensure a smooth, consistent feel. The assembly is then completed at the jeweler's bench, reflecting the designer's commitment to quality and precision.

Despite the challenges in finding the ideal tension for the mechanism due to the varying fabric thickness of ties and shirts, Hirschi successfully created a product that caters to the greater majority of ties and shirts. The TC Nexus is not just a tie clip, but a testament to the designer's ingenuity and attention to detail.

The TC Nexus is more than a tie clip; it's a statement piece. Its unique properties and innovative design have earned it the Silver A' Fashion and Travel Accessories Design Award in 2018. This prestigious award recognizes top-of-the-line, creative, and professionally remarkable designs that demonstrate outstanding expertise and innovation.

With only 50 pieces available worldwide, the TC Nexus is a rare blend of art, design, and technology. It's a symbol of sophistication, a celebration of innovation, and a testament to the transformative power of design. The TC Nexus is not just a tie clip; it's a revolution in men's accessories.
