What does Tiffany's have in common with Finland?
New York Magazine once referred to Walter Hoving as New York City’s “unofficial commissioner of good taste,” a fitting title for the man who headed Tiffany & Company for twenty-five years. Hoving bought the controlling stake in Tiffany’s in 1955 and was its chief executive until 1980, bringing sales from $7 million to $100 million over that time. Under his direction, Tiffany’s Christmas window displays held extraordinary jewlery. Walter is descended from a family in Viborg.
