In 1921, three brothers — an attorney, a WWI veteran and a charming sales pro — saw a decline of the pocket watch’s popularity and decided to use this opportunity to create a wristwatch for the common American man. But what the Lazrus brothers really did was so much more. Benrus became a brand for American’s finest and bravest — serving as the standard timepiece for WW II frogmen.
The brand went through some turmoil however experienced a re-birth in 2014 due to decorated Army officer and combat veteran, Giovanni Feroce. Giovanni brings to today’s Benrus the same vision of the Lazrus brothers while expanding it into a military-inspired lifestyle brand, complete with eyewear and backpacks.
