Footnote
The Atlas collection was introduced in 1995 and was an iconic range of Tiffany & Co. until July 2024 when it was discontinued. The collection took its inspiration from the Roman numerals on the 9 foot tall Atlas Clock, held aloft by a wooden figure of the Greek mythological titan, Atlas. In 1853 Charles Lewis Tiffany commissioned the clock from Henry Frederick Metzier, who mostly made figureheads for ships.
This clock has become a symbol of the firm and has stood above the doors of four historic New York City Tiffany & Co. flagships including 550 Broadway, Union Square and 37th Street and now its current home on Fifth Avenue.
