Tiffany & Co. was founded in New York City in 1837 as a “stationery and fancy goods emporium.” Tiffany & Co. (initially Tiffany, Young & Ellis) began selling watches in 1847. In 1853, the nine-foot bronzed statue of Atlas holding a clock above Tiffany?s store at 550 Broadway was one of the first public clocks in NYC, soon becoming a landmark and a time reference for many New Yorkers who became used to checking their watches against it. To celebrate this iconic clock in the 1980s, Tiffany & Co. introduced the Atlas wristwatch, featuring an hour track of polished Roman numeral markers in high relief. In 1995, a full Atlas collection, outfitted with the same Roman numeral motif, was released for both men and women.
