Michaels Jewelers at 132 Federal Road/Route 7 in Danbury, across from Stew Leonard’s, and a certified authorized PANDORA retail location, is delighted to announce the return of Joe DiFabbio, a resident of New Milford, as one of the store’s associates who specializes in luxury watches and timepieces and fine jewelry.
Lindsay Michaels-Gorski, a fifth generation of the Michaels’ founders and current director of marketing for the statewide jewelry specialist, commented, “We are sincerely very delighted to welcome Joe DiFabbio back to our Danbury store on Route 7. He cultivated a strong following of loyal customers who valued his strong work ethics and his incomparable expertise in luxury watches and timepieces.”
Joe DiFabbio recently returned to Michaels Jewelers because he stated he wanted to ‘work with a family-owned business once again.” Mr. DiFabbio left his position with Michaels in 2012. Between 2012 and 2016 he worked with Tourneau and from 2016 to 2017 he was an assistant manager with Lux Bond in Westport. He was promoted to manager with the ambition of closing the company’s Greenwich store.
While working with Tourneau between 2015 and 2017, Mr. DiFabbio received the Cartier ambassador position. Between 2017 and early 2018, he received certification training in Rolex, Cartier, Longines, and Breitling. In 2014, he also received certification in timepieces by the SIHH – Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie international trade association. He also took an instructive class on Tourbillon mechanically-enhanced and counter-gravity luxury watches given by Joanna Lange of A. Lange & Sohne.
“I’m an avid watch collector and I’ve had a passion for timepieces since I was a young boy,” commented Mr. DiFabbio. Through the years I have acquired many pieces for my personal collection. My favorite part of being in the jewelry industry is to work with beautiful jewelry and timepieces, and to interact with clients to find them the perfect timepiece.”
A resident of New Milford for the past 40 years with his bride Cathy of 34 years. His son Joe, married this April and teaches English at New Milford High school. Joe DiFabbio has been a member of the BMW club for 22 years and enjoys attending events with my 1992 5 series.

His expertise is highly valued and his connections to the local area community are a true asset for us all.”
