With €10K to spend, I decided to play it safe on the brand side and a little wilder on the color side. That’s why I ended up with a furiously red Grand Seiko, a sinister black IWC, and a Zenith that makes me slightly indecisive: do I decide on the version with the green or […] Visit Fratello Favorites: The Best Watches Under €10K — Lex’s Picks From Grand Seiko, IWC, And Zenith to read the full article.

From a technical perspective the Hermès Arceau Duc Attelé is a true powerhouse. Of course, how couldn't it be when you combine a triple-axis tourbillon with a minute repeater, but the Arceau Duc Attelé is more than that. It is not only these technical features, nor even how they are positioned, but also how well they are executed.

One of the most recognizable elements of the early G-Shocks is the famous brick-wall pattern. Did you know the pattern was deliberately chosen to emphasize the toughness of G-Shock’s timepieces?

From the planning, research, and trademarking to working out how to actually make the watches, there are many aspects to consider. At the September 2024 lecture of the Horological Society of New York (HSNY), Nicholas Bowman-Scargill, (4th) Managing Director of the Fears Watch Company, will discuss how three British watch companies were restarted by a member of the founding family in the past decade: Duckworth Preston, Fears and Vertex. Doors open at 5:30 PM ET, lecture to begin at 6 PM ET. RSVP is required. The lecture video will be available to members immediately, and to the general public following a two-month delay. RSVP HSNY Establishes a Partnership With the Horopedia Foundation Partnering with the first online video encyclopedia on watchmaking The Horological Society of New York (HSNY), America’s first watchmaking guild, founded in 1866, announces today a partnership with the Horopedia Foundation based in Geneva, Switzerland. Horopedia Foundation becomes HSNY’s fifth nonprofit ally since the start of the Society’s partnership program in 2021.  Horopedia Foundation governs Horopedia.org, the first online video encyclopedia on watchmaking. The platform was launched in 2022 and quickly gathered unanimous support within the community, standing out as a comprehensive source of intelligence for the entire horological ecosystem and showcasing an innovative approach to preserving and sharing watchmaking expertise. The Foundation Council is composed of Philippe Dufour (President), Dr. Helmut Crott, André Colard, and Marc André Deschoux. Horopedia.org meticulously covers all facets of the horological industry in French, English, and German, and offers detailed definitions of tools and complications, 3D images of movements, and thorough video explanations of component production, their history, and functions in a watch. To date, the website features nearly 900 pages with detailed definitions of watchmaking terms and historical anecdotes about significant horological inventions. CLICK HERE TO READ THE ANNOUNCEMENT...

This post is part of a series, Reading Time at HSNY, written by our librarian, Miranda Marraccini. Wie spaet ist es? Vad är klockan? Horas, minutos y segundos. Do you feel like you stumbled into a Duolingo nightmare without warning? Don’t worry. I began with the phrases above to give you an idea of the quiet babble that takes place every day among the books in our library at the Horological Society of New York (HSNY).  Since starting in my role here more than two years ago, I’ve understood the collection to be deeply multilingual. Every day I learn more words that help me find books and assist researchers: Kuckucksuhren, or cuckoo clocks in German. Orologi da polso, or wristwatches in Italian.  However, I’ve never undertaken a complete survey of the collection before, partly because, for the first part of my time here, we were still deep in the task of cataloging our books. Now that that work is largely done, I can use our new library catalog to find books by language of publication–and I encourage you to do it too! The advanced search function will help you filter the collection by language, as well as other options like subject and date range. CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL POST... Come shop with us! HSNY has started selling a small number of used books on time and timekeeping to the dedicated connoisseur of horology. Do you have 19 copies of Britten’s Old Clocks and Watches and need one more to round out your collection? Have aliens abducted your rare and elusive copy of Die deutsche Räderuhr and beamed it aboard their mothership? Has your dog eaten your vital copy of Modern Watch Repairing and Adjusting on the very weekend that you need to service your boss’s vintage Rolex? Don’t be caught unprepared!
