Our story
The Saltzman's Watches legacy began in 1940 when Joseph Saltzman founded the Providence Watch Hospital. In 1976 his son Richard took the helm and continued the family’s commitment to honest workmanship and expert care. After selling that business in 2001, Richard reopened, along with his son Evan, under the family name — Saltzman's Watches — in 2004. Since starting anew, we’ve grown from a local repair shop into a recognized national service center for several brands and a leading authorized retailer in the region.
