OUR ROLEX HISTORY

The Hartgers Story

Hartgers is a fifth-generation family-run luxury jeweler and watch store. We provide the finest in Rolex timepieces, as well as GIA certified diamonds, designer and classic jewelry, and engagement ring and wedding band expertise. Both Hartgers and Rolex both have a century-long history in the industry, ours beginning with Herman Hartgers emigrating to the United States from Amsterdam, Netherlands in 1888 to pursue his career as a diamond setter. Similarly, Hans Wilsdorf founded Rolex in 1905 with the intention of manufacturing the most precise and durable watches in the world – a value that the brand has remained true to over the last century.

Mr. Hartgers established his presence in New York City by purchasing a booth at the New York Diamond Exchange in downtown Manhattan. He and his son, Martin Hartgers, bought and sold diamonds while building a loyal jewelry clientele. Many decades later, the Hartgers family relocated their business to a retail location in Northern New Jersey. This store, where are remain today, is where the Hartgers family began expanding their business into the fine Swiss watch industry.

The Hartgers Story

Our dedication to providing the finest in jewelry and watchmaking is what motivated the Hartgers family to pursue a partnership with Rolex. Hartgers Jewelers had respected and valued Rolex as the premier brand at our retail store for almost 30 years. We are grateful to showcase the most advanced and finest Rolex watches and provide a luxurious Rolex shopping experience. Our staff, the majority of which are Hartgers family members, are equipped with the knowledge and passion to assist our Rolex customers and help them find the right timepiece for their lifestyle. Additionally, our Rolex-trained watchmaker has a personal service center on-site, where we are very pleased to offer the full range of Rolex watch services.
