Women's Tiffany & Co. Watches

In 1837, Charles Lewis Tiffany established Tiffany & Co., which began selling watches in in 1847. This was a fortuitous opportunity spotted by Charles, who tapped the renowned Swiss watchmaker Patek Phillippe to be the sole supplier of its pocket watches. It’s a partnership that flourishes to this day.

Tiffany & Co. women’s watches continue to tow the line between functional objects and bijoux. In the 1910s and '20s, increasingly more sophisticated developments in speed and technology led to smaller and more simplified models. Art Deco wristwatches became the ultimate accessory among the era’s flapper trendsetters. Later, in the 1940s, Tiffany unveiled a collapsible leather-clad “purse watch” that caught on with fashionable women on the go.

Over the last 175+ years, Tiffany & Co. has introduced a number of watchmaking innovations, including America’s first stopwatch (the Tiffany Timer) in 1868. The Atlas Watch, named for the clock that hangs above the entrance to Tiffany’s Fifth Avenue store, is among the house’s most highly collectible timepieces. Distinguished by an hour track of brightly polished Roman-numeral markers in high relief, it received a U.S. patent for its originality.
