Fleddermann von Rieste welcomes Ritzi Jewelers in Brookville, Indiana as newest Authorized Dealer
Announcing Our Newest Authorized Distributor: Ritzi Jewelers
We are delighted to announce that Fleddermann von Rieste watches is now available through Ritzi Jewelers, our newest authorized distributor. This partnership brings together two storied names committed to excellence and heritage.
Ritzi Jewelers: A Legacy of Excellence
Ritzi Jewelers is a name that stands for trust and quality. As Franklin County’s oldest registered full-service jeweler, Ritzi Jewelers has been a pillar of luxury and reliability since 1881. The family-owned business has evolved over the years, embracing modern technology while preserving its rich heritage.
Founded by Casper Ritzi and later taken over by Robert and Harriet Bradley, the store continues its legacy under the stewardship of Swiss-trained watchmaker Jim Lubic and his wife, Teresa, who acquired the business in 2012. Ritzi Jewelers is renowned for its custom designs, expert repairs, and personalized service, making it the ideal partner for showcasing our Fleddermann von Rieste watches.
A Family Connection
Our connection to Ritzi Jewelers runs deep, rooted in cherished family memories. Bernard Fleddermann, the great-grandfather of our founder Dr. Adam Fleddermann, purchased the engagement ring used to propose to Adam’s great-grandmother, Cecilia Seifert, at Ritzi Jewelers. This meaningful connection to Ritzi Jewelers adds a personal touch to our partnership.
Moreover, the watch that sparked Dr. Adam Fleddermann’s lifelong passion for horology was the very timepiece Bernard passed down to Adam’s father, Daniel Fleddermann. This treasured watch, also purchased at Ritzi Jewelers, represents a significant link in our family’s history and love for fine timepieces.
Our Promise
At Fleddermann von Rieste, we are committed to delivering legacy timepieces that embody our family values of Faith, Industriousness, Integrity, and Service. Each watch is designed to become a cherished family heirloom, meant to be worn, shared, and treasured for generations.
We offer a two-year warranty on all our watches, ensuring that every timepiece meets the highest standards. Our promise is to provide attainable luxury that you and your family can be proud of.

The Münchner, an All Occasion Watch Inspired by the Bavaria Capital
Fleddermann von Rieste proudly presents the Münchner, a watch embodying Munich’s blend of independence and economic strength. Designed for versatile wear, it excels in both the boardroom and on outdoor adventures.
The Münchner features a 44mm polished 316 stainless steel case with parallel lines representing the Frauenkirche’s twin spires. Its unique small seconds complication at six o’clock celebrates Munich’s vibrant squares and independent spirit.
Protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, the watch houses the Swiss-made Calibre DB-6 movement with 17 jewels and a 53-hour power reserve. The Münchner seamlessly transitions from casual to formal settings, perfect for those who appreciate both style and substance.
The Hanoverian, A Modern Take on the Classic Everyday Watch
The sleek lines of the Hanoverian draw inspiration from the unfailing performance and speed of the legendary breed.
The center of the Hanoverian has a 41mm polished 316 stainless steel case. This angular case delivers a profile curtained to bring attention and admiration, not unlike the famed city and stallions whose name it bears. The brushed stainless steel case leads to an embossed casting of the legendary stallion perched on two legs, ready to take on any challenge.
Paired with the brushed stainless steel case is a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal featuring water resistance to 10 ATM. This sapphire crystal protects a beautiful brushed metal dial featuring raised indices and Swiss BGW9 Super LumiNova.
The Hanoverian delivers our vision of refreshing the generationally timeless tool watch. The Hanoverian may not be your Grandfather’s everyday watch, but with time, we hope that you will make it your Grandson’s
The Einheit, a Classically Styles Dress Watch
The Einheit, is meant to harken to design features as timeless as the love of a father for a son. The center of The Einheit is a 40mm polished 316 stainless steel case. Each side of Einheit’s case features four cast lines. These lines join each end to form a point, representing the merging of families that provide us with our personal legacies.
Rising above its case, the Einheit features a fluted bezel framing a sunburst dial. Protecting the dial is a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
With its comfortable and durable Italian leather band and stainless steel butterfly clasp, the Einheit fits as if it is of your own heritage and legacy.
The Einheit delivers our vision for a timeless watch you can be excited to show your father or proud to give to your son. While dressy, it can also be laid back. It’s perfect for any occasion with those you love and cherish.

More About Fleddermann von Rieste
At Fleddermann von Rieste, we assemble all of our automatic watches with a deep commitment to quality and American craftsmanship. We believe in the importance of American-made watches and doing things the right way. While many consider luxury watches to be exclusively Swiss-made, we proudly demonstrate that luxury automatic watches can be American-assembled.
As an independent watch company based in Indiana, Fleddermann von Rieste creates legacy American-assembled watches, focusing on the best affordable watches for our customers. Our watches are assembled by an American Watchmaker and Clockmaker Institute (AWCI) certified watchmaker and his apprentice in the Hoosier State. We produce both automatic watches (self-winding watches) and mechanical watches (hand-wind watches) with meticulous care.
Did you know that our watchmakers have taken courses and worked on some of the best Swiss-made watch brands? Adam and his team are trained and capable of servicing brands including, but not limited to, Rolex, Breitling, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Omega, Seiko, Luminox, Swiss Army, and Grand Seiko. The Fleddermann family infuses every watch with inspiration drawn from our deep-rooted Indiana family history and German heritage.
Each American-assembled mechanical or automatic watch is designed to become a family heirloom from the very first wearing. We take great pride in providing attainable legacy timepieces that generations can wear, share, and cherish. Our watches embody our vision for timeless pieces that you can be excited to show your father and proud to give to your son.
