7th Annual Sol Meller Memorial Blood Drive Recap
The 7th Annual Sol Meller Memorial Blood Drive took place on November 30th, 2023 and was another success! This event is held each year in honor of “Uncle Sol,” who was a generous blood and platelet donor during his life. Thanks to all of our attendees, we broke our record, collecting 70 pints of blood for Cedars-Sinai. It was our biggest drive yet!
Attendees included the #FeldmarFamily team and their kiddos, customers, and even some adorable furry friends! This year’s drive was sponsored by Seiko, who, along with our friends at Yeastie Boys, provided delicious food and refreshments! Attendees mingled, browsed Feldmar’s showcases, and entered to win prizes in our raffle. Prizes included watches from many of our brands, swag, and gift certificates! In addition to donating blood, attendees could also visit the Hirshberg Foundation table in our store and connect with Feldmar’s other annual charitable involvement: the LA Cancer Challenge 5k which supports pancreatic cancer research.
Thank you to all who supported this year’s drive! Mark your calendar for our next annual Sol Meller Memorial Blood Drive on November 30, 2024!

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Scott joined Feldmar Watch Company, Inc. under the tutelage of his father, Sol. As a fourth generation family member, Scott’s forward-thinking business acumen has placed Feldmar on the cutting edge of the luxury timepiece market. Scott’s favorite part about working at Feldmar is being a part of his family’s multi-generational business and having worked alongside his father. His accomplishments are many, including the expansion and remodel of the Feldmar flagship store, as well as a second location inside The Beverly Hilton.
Since attending Santa Monica College, Scott has become an expert in the technical aspects of the timepieces sold at Feldmar. Each year, he travels to Switzerland—the watchmaking capital of the world—to attend the Baselword Watch & Jewelry Fair and build upon his extensive knowledge of this quickly-evolving industry.
Scott is very proud of the way Feldmar customers are put first: “We regularly go out of our way to meet the needs of our clients. A client once purchased a rather significant watch as a birthday gift for his brother who lived in New York. Our client asked how we were going to deliver the gift and we responded with the typical answer, we would ship it by FedEx. After we answered his question, we could tell that he wanted a more personalized experience for the delivery and offered to have it hand-delivered by one of our associates. He lit up at the thought, and so off went one of our associates to New York City for the day to hand-deliver the gift.”
