Tiffany & Co. Atlas Demi Hunter 18k YG
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.
THE DIAL Boasting a hinged cover that provides a view of the central portion of its dial, like those found on half-hunter pocket watches, this Atlas features a display unlike those found on the majority of wrist watches.
THE CONSTRUCTION Beyond its "demi hunter" case, the Atlas features an unusual set of lugs that mean it wears with a unique poise on the wrist.
