Leon Weiss 1924-2014
It all started with Daniel's father, Leon. After surviving the atrocities of WWII, Leon opened his first watch and jewelry boutique in 1951. His perseverance and commitment to low prices during a strictly regulated postwar environment awarded him much notoriety and the nickname "the price breaker." Thirty-five store openings and many newspaper articles later, he emigrated to the United States, where he continued his tradition of exceptional quality, great service, and low prices.

Mrs. Weiss
Mrs. Weiss joined the family business at 23 as a sales clerk, unassuming that she would one day marry Leon. They were madly in love, and together they grew a small operation into a small empire. In fact, the crown on our logo was added by Leon years after the original logo's inception, as an homage to his queen. Mrs. Weiss comes in to the shop almost every day and continues to guide us with her wisdom and experience.
