A fine watch, unlike many other luxury items, often carries with it a strong emotional significance to its owner. Steeped in history and craftsmanship, watches are both utilitarian and artistic, useful, and decorative. Watch companies, in turn, understand this, and use these values to their advantage when selling their timepieces. Using organic storytelling, brands can effectively connect and communicate with potential clients — all without resulting to the marketing "fluff" to which modern consumers are sensitive to. At the December lecture of the Horological Society of New York (HSNY), Fernanda Zapata, founder of Gigantem — an agency that specializes in public relations and events for brands such as Parmigiani Fleurier, H. Moser, Zenith and Girard-Perregaux — will discuss how watch companies engage in marketing using their history and ethos to connect with customers based on shared interests and values.  Doors open at 6PM ET, lecture to begin at 7PM ET. RSVP is required. The lecture video will be available to members immediately, and to the general public following a two-month delay.

Mehta, NY * Upgraded Membership Level BECOME A MEMBER GIFT A MEMBERSHIP Reading Time at HSNY: Put It on My Calendar! This post is part of a series, Reading Time at HSNY, written by our librarian, Miranda Marraccini. Maybe you’ll be watching the time ball drop in Times Square on December 31, waiting for the opening notes of “Auld Lang Syne” to start playing over the kissing, crowds, and confetti. Or maybe you’ll be asleep on the sofa, blissfully unaware of the minutes passing as the year turns passively over into 2024. Whether or not you’re personally focused on the promise that a new year brings, there’s no denying that it’s a moment when people all over the world are uniquely fixated on the time–when, exactly, does something end and something new begin? How do we define what a year is? In this post I’ll focus on calendars: why they are the way they are, how they’ve captivated and frustrated people for centuries, and how they’ve been represented visually on watches. If you’d like a more in-depth education on the topic, I recommend watching the recording of “The History of the Calendar,” a panel that F.P. Journe led at the Horological Society of New York in 2016. As long as there have been calendars (at least since ancient Egypt) it seems there have been disagreements over how they should work, and suggestions for their reform. A number of books in our library at HSNY cover the history of calendars, including Michael Judge’s “The Dance of Time: the Origins of the Calendar,” David Ewing Duncan’s “The Calendar: The 5000-Year Struggle to Align the Clock and the Heavens – and What Happened to the Missing Ten Days,” “Mapping Time: The Calendar and its History” by E. G. Richards, and “Marking Time: the Epic Quest to Invent the Perfect Calendar,” by Duncan Steel. Incidentally, it seems to me that authors published a rash of these volumes around the turn of the millennium–I wonder why? CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL POST...
