EXPLORE THE HISTORY OF HAMMERMAN
A young man left the rigorous study halls in Eastern Europe and ventured off in another direction to learn the craft of watchmaking
Three of his descendants, The Hammerman Brothers (Benjamin, Bernard and Hyman) worked on the Bowery in NYC before WWII, which at the time was the major diamond center in the U.S.
Immediately following their discharge from the army after WWII, the Hammerman Brothers started their continuing contribution to the international world of fine watches and jewelry.
Patented design by Benjamin Hammerman, incorporating a ladies' watch into a beautiful bracelet, elevating a simple proletarian necessity into a fine and dramatic piece of jewelry.
Hammerman created a ladies’ bracelet that doubled as a watch. The design was a breakthrough - women were now able to incorporate a bracelet watch into their evening wardrobe.
During the next 10 years an amazing array of platinum and diamond ladies’ bracelet watches were designed by Bernard and created by the artisans in the Hammerman factory.
The pieces are collector's items which frequently appear at auction houses worldwide.
The Hammermans manufactured gold bracelets for the Bulova Accutron, the world's first fully electronic watch.
The brothers were proud when they were asked to manufacture a special bracelet for an Accutron that was presented to President Eisenhower.
One of a kind earring created for a Totie Fields- A female comedian who paved the way for women like Joan Rivers, Tina Fey, and many others. Voted in 1978 as "Entertainer of the Year" and "Female Comedy Star of the Year" by the American Guild of Variety Artists.
