Now what if we removed the likes of the uber-brands we mentioned above and replaced that variant with the name Fairchild Semiconductor? Tiffany's and Fairchild Semiconductor, say what? After all, Fairchild is "Saving our world, 1 megaWatt at a time" coach factory outlet, and Tiffany's is...selling many of us moderately priced sterling silver jewelry and a select few of us rare gem stones and diamonds. You don't see the synergy between the two brands?
We had a feeling people would be interested in this watch so we went ahead and found you two variations of the Fairchild/Tiffany's offspring, one of the originals in 14K yellow gold and a cleaner example in stainless steel. Both watches appear to be in relatively good condition and they are in both working shape, however the stainless version comes with a Tiffany & Co. presentation box.
We are just going to come right out and say it; this watch is strange. We have seen Tiffany work with some of the big players in the past, brands like Rolex and Audemars Piguet have often featured models with the Tiffany & Co. name on the face. Patek Philippe even has their own '"salon" in the flagship Tiffany's store here on 5th avenue. No big deal because these are some of the most luxurious and well known watch brands in the world, right? Exactly coach outlet online, no big deal at all.
Neither do we coach outlet online, but in 1973 they got together and made a watch, and that is what we have found for you today. Launched at Basel world, this collaboration between Fairchild's LED unit and Tiffany & Co. produced a digital LED watch encased by Tiffany. Originally sold in just 14K yellow gold coach factory store, the watch was later sold in stainless steel. These watches were actually sold exclusively in Tiffany's boutiques (could you imagine Tiffany's selling digital watches today??). We have been told the LED watches sold by Tiffany were actually priced several times their mechanical equivalent.
However, the LED movement did not last long coach bags outlet, being overtaken quickly by LCD technology, and this watch was only sold for about three years.
The yellow gold version of the Fairchild/Tiffany's LED watch is selling for $1299 and the stainless steel version is selling for $875 on eBay. Both seem to be fair prices considering the rarity, camp-factor coach factory outlet, and over-all weirdness of this watch.

One side note, Fairchild sold their LED business back in 2006, so we are sad to say there won't be any modern-day versions of this bizarre LED experiment in your local Tiffany's stores anytime soon.
