Throughout history, families have often moved in search of better opportunities. The early 20th century saw many families emigrating from Eastern Europe to the United States, including the Romanian Lazrus family, who settled in New York City. New York was a popular destination due to its bustling economy and diverse population. In 1921, Benjamin Lazrus, along with his brothers Oscar and Ralph, founded the Benrus Watch Company, leveraging the city’s vibrant commercial environment.
