拍品資料及來源
成立於1846年，雅典以其原創辦人的名字命名，於19世紀時以製作準確的航海天文鐘而聞名，全盛時期曾為超過50多個國家的海軍所採用。1983年，該公司由Rolf W. Schnyder（羅夫史耐德）先生收購，在鬼才製錶專家Ludwig Oechslin（歐克林博士）加盟後，志在打造震驚世人的前衛時計。今天，雅典繼續承接傳統，將科學、創新與想像力相結合，運用新素材及先進製錶技術，生產出一件件功能複雜卻又不失浪漫童趣的腕錶。
2004 年，雅典再度結合其製錶工藝及幽默創意發表了「馬戲團」三問錶，錶盤可見其手工精雕活動人偶，調皮的猴子、耍球的小丑、可愛的大熊、優雅的芭蕾舞者、兇猛的老虎及英勇的訓練師，在雅典精雕師的手中被賦予生命，活靈活現的出現在以黑瑪瑙飾底的面盤上，當啟動三問功能時，調皮的小猴子會ꦍ伸出牠的手掌干擾小丑耍球（報時），訓練師向兇猛的老虎揮動著鞭子（報刻），隨著訓練師的動作，老🥂虎也開始舞動利爪（報分），站在優美芭蕾舞者身旁的大熊則是低頭鞠躬，感謝觀眾對這場精彩絕倫的馬戲表演的喜愛，隨著報時、報分及報刻，他們各司其職，搭疊出一幕生氣勃勃的場景。此錶為雅典所呈現最迷人的鐘錶傑作之一，貫徹體現其品牌精神，此錶款鉑金材質僅限量發行30枚，此枚為第9號。
