About
Fourth-generation Main Street jeweler, open Tuesday to Saturday.
Schlanderer and Sons is at 208 S Main St, mid-block on the busiest retail stretch downtown. It was founded in 1933 by C. Henry Schlanderer, known to friends as Hank, and his two sons Paul and Arthur, and the shop's own history describes it today as a fourth-generation Main Street business. Hank had already spent forty-seven years in the jewelry trade by the time he opened it: he started at sixteen as a watchmaking apprentice to George Haller, on the same block at 216 South Main, for a dollar a week.
The specialty is fine Swiss watches, backed by an in-house custom design team that works on engagement rings, necklaces and earrings, and a repair bench. The showroom also carries Rembrandt Charms, Reed and Barton, John Medeiros, Howard Miller clocks, Add-a-Pearl and Hagerty silver care. Rated 4.6 from 77 Google reviews.
Open 9.30am to 5.30pm Tuesday through Saturday, closed Monday and Sunday, so this is a weekday or Saturday stop rather than part of a Sunday downtown walk. Phone (734) 662-0306.
Hours here are Google's, read 5 November 2026. The shop's own domain returned a server error that day, so there was no first-party grid to check them against. The founding date, the family history and the brand list above do come from the shop's own site, read from the Internet Archive's July 2025 capture of it.
