Founded in New York City in 1921 by three brothers - Oscar (d.1990), Benjamin, and Ralph (d.1960). The ambitious brothers were Romanian immigrants. The name "BENRUS" was a combination of Benjamin Lazrus first and last names. Hence "BEN"jamin laz"RUS". On 14 May 1923, Lazarus acquired the legal protection of the trademark Benrus from the Swiss federal office for intellectual property. Oscar Lazrus was the eldest brother. He was an attorney, and he was in charge of the advertising and finances for the company. The next oldest was Benjamin Lazrus where the company name was derived. Benjamin attended Columbia University, and fought in World War I. He was in charge of the operations of the company. The youngest of the brothers was Ralph. Ralph was a salesman at heart and so handled the sales aspect of the business. Over the life of the company the three brothers, at one time or another, ran the company as President. The original company headquarters were located in the Hippodrome building on 44th street in Manhattan. While some watch assembly took place there, the bulk of the manufacture took place in Switzerland. Benrus owned a factory in la Choux de Fond where watch movements were assembled.
