Samuels Jewelers

When it was established in 1891, Samuels Jewelers was known as The House of Lucky Wedding Rings. If you bought your wedding ring from Samuels, the legend said, you would be married for ever. Feb 15, 1915 - Albert Samuels, jeweler, installed a 20-foot-tall, 4-sided clock (Samuel's Clock) in front of his store, The House of Lucky Wedding Rings, near Market and fifth in honor of the opening of the Panama-Pacific Expo. In 1941 the store was moved across the street to 856 Market next to the Flood Building and the clock followed, where it still stands today.
