With one of the largest selections of prestigious timepieces, watch winders, and exquisite jewelry in the country, Govberg Jewelers has been Philadelphia's premier jeweler since 1922. Founded three generations ago by Albert Govberg, a young watchmaker and diamond expert, the company today operates under the leadership of his grandson, the energetic entrepreneur Danny Govberg. Boasting two store locations, one in the heart of Philadelphia's Center City, and the second in the neighboring suburb of Bala Cynwyd, Govberg Jewelers offers more than 40 prestigious and exclusive brands to a clientele that spans the globe. Two thousand and eight will witness a great addition to the Govberg portfolio, as the retailer prepares to open a third location—a boutique in Philadelphia's prestigious Comcast Center.

High profile executives, Philadelphians, and tourists will cross the Comcast Center's threshold each day, and the Govberg team eagerly anticipates the addition of new friends and clients beginning this spring.

Catering to seasoned collectors and novice watch enthusiasts, local celebrities, city-dwellers, suburbanites, and even the occasional international political figure, Govberg Jewelers' selection of timepieces encompasses the full spectrum, from classic to avant-garde, with brands spanning from the ever-celebrated Patek Philippe to the artistic pressure-gauge-inspired Manometro by Italian designer Giuliano Mazzuoli. It is with a true dedication to the world of horology that the 50-plus Govberg Jewelers employees strive to please a clientele in search of exceptional service and products.

Each member of the Govberg team is expertly trained in the realm of horology, attending industry seminars, brand-sponsored trainings, periodic trips to Swiss factories and more. Govberg shares, "Our sales associates are watch advisors and experts, and education is our key to success. The customers who walk through the doors of Govberg Jewelers need to trust that their inquiries will be addressed with the highest level of expertise, and our associates efficiently assist each visitor in finding the ideal timepiece to suit their personal lifestyle."In fact, Govberg Jewelers is so devoted to education that it has recently launched a unique Web-based tool to further the knowledge and interest of collectors who walk through the doors of Govberg Jewelers every day: The Collectors Club by Govberg. "We are honored to host the nation's only retail-hosted watch collectors site where visitors will learn insider information about their favorite watch brands, including Vacheron Constantin, IWC, and Audemars Piguet," remarks Govberg. "Each year, we see clients who are increasingly knowledgeable of their favorite brands, and who are looking to constantly learn more and see more about these timepieces. Hence, the Collectors Club was born and, we hope, will continue to grow with new brands and brand information always being added."

Govberg Jewelers offers exclusive brand representation in Philadelphia for several watch companies, including Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Ulysse Nardin, Vacheron Constantin, IWC, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Breitling, Franck Muller, and many more. Generations of Philadelphians know that Govberg Jewelers is the destination when in search of a fine timepiece. With an extensive pre-owned and vintage collection to complement the current offerings, Govberg truly has a timepiece to suit every desire.

The prestigious selection of timepieces that line Govberg's showcases is elegantly complemented by an assortment of fine and fashionable jewelry. Pieces by Kwiat, Chimento, Haggai, John Hardy, Honora, Chopard, and Gregg Ruth represent just a small portion of the Philadelphia-based retailer's jewelry selections. In addition, Govberg Jewelers features a spectacular collection of exquisite diamonds, spanning sizes and styles to suit all jewelry dreams.

With a festive spirit, Govberg Jewelers continues to host the region's most exclusive and celebrated events, in addition to lending a charitable hand to many local and national philanthropic and civic organizations. Govberg Jewelers kicked off the 2007 event calendar by sponsoring the Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation's inaugural Lemon Ball, during which the president and general manager of the Philadelphia 76ers, Billy King, was recognized for his unwavering support of Alex Scott, the founder of this unique foundation, which evolved from a young cancer patient's front yard lemonade stand to a nationwide fundraising movement to find a cure for pediatric cancer.

Furthering their commitment to the great fight against childhood cancer, Govberg Jewelers sponsored the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia's (CHOP) Daisy Day luncheon, an elegant affair with over 900 people in attendance to support the advancement of pediatric healthcare, for the 8th consecutive year. Fashion icon Michael Kors presented his Fall 2007 Collection during the event, and children of CHOP physicians graced the runway in clothing provided by Saks Fifth Avenue. As the premier jewelry sponsor, Govberg Jewelers donated a Cartier Ladies' Roadster, and a stunning daisy pendant designed exclusively by Govberg Jewelers to the silent auction.
