BENRUS was founded in New York by Benjamin Lazrus and his two brothers and took its name from the first syllable of his name and the last syllable of the family name. The three young men combined $5,000 in savings and started importing Swiss watch movements and casing them in New York.
The New York based BENRUS brand was once headquartered out of one of Manhattan's most historic buildings, the Hippodrome, located on 6th Avenue between West 43rd and 44th Streets, what is known today as the Jewelry District, in the heart of the city.
This is a woman’s vintage Benrus wrist watch. The bezel is micro-plated with 10K yellow gold. This is a super dainty and elegant. It has a square shaped case, with a round-set crystal.
