**Tiffany** is a Jeweler founded by Charles Lewis Tiffany in [[1837]] in New York City.

Since [[1851]], when Antoine Norbert de Patek visited Charles Lewis Tiffany in his business in New York, there is a cooperation between Tiffany and [[Patek Philippe]].

In [[2008]], the jeweler and [[Swatch Group]] formed a joint venture to produce watches. This culminated in the March 31, [[2009]] launch of Tiffany Watch Co. at [[BaselWorld]]. But just over two years later, on September 12, [[2011]], Swatch unilaterally dissolved the partnership claiming Tiffany delayed development of the business. Tiffany countersued the company on March 12, [[2012]], but an arbitrator ruled in favor of Swatch on December 22, [[2013]] and Tiffany was forced to pay CHF 402 million in damages.

In [[2019]], it was announced that [[luxury group]] [[LVMH]] would acquire Tiffany, reportedly for its jewelry and American retail strength. A series of lawsuits followed before the acquisition was finally completed on January 7, [[2021]].
