Barry J. Marcus has worked as a watchmaker for over 72 years. The only time he spent away from his workbench was the two years he spent in active duty for the U.S. Navy. When he's not at the bench, Barry is an avid reader, watches history documentaries, movies, and Bugs Bunny cartoons. He has just retired from sailing Narragansett Bay on his beloved boat. A native son of Massachusetts, Barry has an undying love for the New England Patriots. Barry currently lives in Milford, Massachusetts. He has three daughters, five grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
The response from readers of "Watches I Have Known" has been terrific. Many have stopped by Barry's shop with a cup of coffee (black, no sugar).
