History

Charles Lewis Taffiny and a friend opened the company and store in 1837 in New York. First he was selling gifts and writing articles. In 1902, he died and left an estate of $35 million. During his living existence, he developed his lines of silverware, jewelry and also watches. For example in 1845, Norbert Antoine de Patek provided watches to Tiffany. In 1861, the company opened an office in Geneva and in 1872 a plant to produce their own watches that it closed four years later. Following the closing of the plant, pocket watches were mostly provided by Patek Philippe. In the early twenty centuries, other brands like Audemars Piguet received orders from Tiffany. Today, Tiffany is a public company at the New York stock exchange and it represents one of the leading brand of the luxury industry.
