Perpetuelle’s Authorized Dealer Interview Series Begins…
Perpetuelle.com Moderator James Bond recently had the pleasure of interviewing Mr. Jonathan Dorfman of Dorfman Jewelers, an elite watch and jewelery dealer located on the very prestigious “Newbury Street” in Boston, MA. So why should you care to read this interview? Well…
In keeping with the Dorfman philosophy of not wanting to be all things to all people and aiming for only the best, you will find just 2 prestigious brands of watches in the company’s Newbury Street store. Which ones, you ask? Well, I’ll let you discover this for yourself. On the jewlery side, Dorfman only carries one brand – Van Cleef & Arpels. In fact they have an official Van Cleef & Arpel salon in-store and as part of this they do sell the Van Cleef & Arpel watch line as well.
What struck me most about the interview, though, are the humble roots from which Dorfman was built. Today, Jonathan and his brother Douglas Dorfman proudly lead a family-owned business that grew from their grandfather’s humble beginnings during the Great Depression through their parent’s prescient move to 24 Newbury Street in the 1970s. Quite the American success story if you ask me!

On another note, James and I would love to be able to turn this into a series (or mini-series) of interviews with various leading Authorized Dealers of fine luxury watches. If you are interested in speaking with us, please drop me a line at kyle[at]perpetuelle.com.
