Rolex is always the talk of Watches & Wonders, but this year the conversation focused on an unlikely watch: an Oyster Perpetual with a “Celebration Dial,” a colorful and playful creation that seems very, well, unlike Rolex?

Founded in 1865, the Harvard Club of New York City welcomes HSNY to its historic venue once again, where 270 guests will have the opportunity to celebrate the year’s watchmaking scholarship recipients, toast to HSNY's 157th anniversary, and mingle with industry leaders and fellow enthusiasts. This year, the Gala will include a cocktail hour with hors d'oeuvres, a seated multi-course dinner with remarks by the HSNY team, and new to 2023, an after-party in Harvard Hall with open bar, dessert and live music. The suggested attire is business formal. While HSNY’s annual Charity Auction will take place later this spring, Phillips in Association with Bacs & Russo will be auctioning the HSNY 2023 Lifetime Membership Card live at the Gala, which will grant one lucky recipient VIP access to HSNY initiatives for life. We look forward to celebrating with you on April 15!

Today’s post is co-written by HSNY’s Deputy Director, Carolina Navarro. For 157 years, the Horological Society of New York (HSNY) has known how to throw a good party. On April 15, 2023, we’ll be celebrating at our annual gala at the Harvard Club of New York City, just across the street from our headquarters in Midtown Manhattan. It will be a night of tasty food, live music, and support for HSNY’s mission. Our earliest club social events were “smokers” — not for smoking meat, as I originally guessed, but social events where men smoked tobacco, told jokes, and sang drinking songs in German. The songs were in German because the first members were German — the organization was founded in 1866 as the Deutscher Uhrmacher Verein (German Watchmakers Society). In the late 19th century, the organization went through different variations of German and English names, until 1930 when we adopted our current moniker. (We have a collection of HSNY gala programs and other historical documents at the Jost Bürgi Research Library.) One tradition that has stayed the same — HSNY members have always celebrated with food. The earliest banquet menu in our archives is from 1912. Printed in German, it is an elaborate joke as it includes some standards like oysters, chicken, and Brussels sprouts, but also some curious items like “enamel filet with cuvette sauce,” “horological cream puffs,” “spindle clock cheese,” and under salads, “etched spiral springs with double-proofed acidic chronometer oil.” All of the delicious dishes involve puns on watch and clock parts. I’m not exactly sure what the men of HSNY did end up eating on March 5, 1912, but safe to say it wasn’t a plate of hairsprings.  CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL POST...
