While Tiffany & Co. might be best known for their stunning jewellery, co-signed dials and historic prowess as a powerhouse of design, Tiffany & Co. also have a rich history in watchmaking too with several important patents to their name that go back over 100 years such as the patent for the first luminous-painted numerals on a watch dial in 1903 amongst other things, like Charles Tiffany opening one of the largest watchmaking facilities in Geneva in 1874. In 1983, the Atlas collection was introduced as a tribute to Tiffany’s great public clock above their Fifth Avenue flagship store which depicts Atlas, the Greek Titan condemned to hold up the heavens for eternity, but with the clock on his shoulders – an image engraved on the Atlas’ caseback. Featuring a demi hunter case with a hinged dial cover that features a window showcasing the dial’s center, the Atlas is an unusual watch stylistically. Elegant in its execution, its 37mm 18kt yellow gold case promises Tiffany’s famous level of luxury, but in a practical and unique timepiece that differs from more typical timepieces.

Case is in excellent overall condition. There is some oxidation visible on the case, as well as some scratches and marks. The blasted finish along the Roman indexes of the bezel have some discoloration as seen in the images. Engraved dial in excellent condition with little signs of aging. Watch comes with original strap and 18k gold tang buckle.

Inspired by the brand's iconic public clock, the Atlas collection remains true to Tiffany's brand identity in a novel way that also allows the famed American jeweler to create something unusual while remaining rooted in their heritage.
