Certified Watchmaker Brian P. Tanguay started repairing watches for a living at age 18, training at the Joseph Bulova School of Watchmaking and becoming certified by the American Watchmakers Institute in 1976. His business started small, but with his talents he was soon servicing 12 different stores around MA. He moved to Fitchburg in 1980, merging his business with his grandparents jewelry store. The newly formed Murphy Jewelers flourished with Brians services and expanded quickly. He invested in a new building in Gardner to diversify his sales and services, and named this new venture Tanguay Jewelers. It has been incredibly successful ever since, influencing Brian to sell his interest in Murphy to his brother shortly after his move. Brian maintains his reputation as a master of repairs with a deep inventory of vintage parts. Hes well-known in the industry as a seasoned expert that has worked on vintage wrist watches dating back to 1920.
