Forstner Chain Corporation: Forstner Chain Corporation, founded in the 1920s in Irvington, New Jersey, was an American manufacturer of fine chains, bracelets, and watch accessories. Best known for its patented Komfit adjustable bracelet introduced in 1939, Forstner combined technical innovation with refined craftsmanship. The company’s designs—later worn by NASA astronauts—set a standard for precision and functionality in mid-century jewelry and watch design. Today, the revived Forstner brand continues to honor this legacy with reissues of its classic pieces. Gold
