A History: 58 years ago, the store first offered its elegant jewels and wristwatches to residents and visitors of historic Carmel. The rare collection and personal attention attracted customers of all kinds. Although the store has expanded over the years, its original intimate and personalized atmosphere remains unchanged. With his wife, Sandy, and son, Josh, John Bonifas travels extensively, adding to the already impressive inventory to offer estate jewelry and vintage watches of unsurpassed quality and value.

The Jewelry Collection: The collection at Fourtané consists of authentic antique and period estate jewelry from the 1800s to the present day. Beauty, fine craftsmanship, uniqueness and value are the cornerstones of the Fourtané philosophy on buying and selling. John Bonifas favors fine jewelry that can be worn every day. Therefore, the inventory ranges from simple antique brooches, to diamonds set in exquisite platinum mountings, to exceptionally rare pieces signed by famous makers.

The Vintage Watch Boutique: Fourtané offers a fine selection of vintage Patek Philippe and Rolex. The vintage Rolex collection is one of the most important in the country, and is complemented by an extensive selection of authorized new Rolex watches. The entire history of Rolex can be traced in the Fourtané collection.
