Want to dabble in high-end watch auctions but lack the cash? FutureGrail may have the solution

Let’s face it. For most of us, who don’t work in finance or have somehow failed to win the lottery (so far) or be fathered by a particularly indulgent Sheikh, reading about watch auctions is a form of fantasy window shopping. “Hmm,” you nod to yourself approvingly when reading about the platinum Rolex Yacht-Master that … Continued The post Want to dabble in high-end watch auctions but lack the cash?

Mankind has attempted for centuries to emulate their song and their beauty. The mechanical singing-bird tabatière was born during the late 18th century and continues to enchant today. At the May lecture of the Horological Society of New York, Brittany Nicole Cox will examine the history behind the lineage of the mechanical singing-bird along with a case study. Special thank you to the Toledo Museum of Art for allowing Brittany Nicole Cox to share this talk. Photo credit Ben Lindbloom. *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. RSVP HSNY Awards $125,000 in Financial Aid at Its Annual Gala Lifetime Membership Card Sells For Record-Breaking $20,000 The Horological Society of New York (HSNY) held its 157th anniversary Gala & Awards Ceremony on Saturday, April 15, 2023, where it awarded a record-breaking $125,000 in financial aid to 20 watchmaking students and four U.S. watchmaking schools, and raised an additional $25,000 toward its mission to advance the art and science of horology. The historic Harvard Club of New York City served as the backdrop of HSNY’s gala once again, where 270 guests from around the world gathered to toast to one of the world’s oldest continuously operating horological associations and support the newest generation of watchmakers with scholarships. “The 2023 gala broke records in every way for the Horological Society of New York,” said Carolina Navarro, HSNY Deputy Director. “An increasing demand to attend allowed us to max out capacity and draw crowds from top watch brands, VIPs, influencers, and even celebrities, who showed up in style to support our now 157-year-old society.” At the gala, HSNY presented its largest offering of financial aid to date, and awarded more students than ever before.   Steve Eagle, HSNY’s Director of Education, presented a ceremonial $125,000 giant check to Mary Raso, student at the Lititz Watch Technicum, and Jose Weinberger, student at the Nicolas G. Hayek Watchmaking School, who accepted the award on behalf of all recipients. “For context, in 2017 we awarded one scholarship to one student, and this year we awarded 20 students and four schools,” said Nicholas Manousos, HSNY Executive Director. “This is made possible through the generous donations from our sponsors, our dedicated members, and gala supporters.” CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL RECAP...  VIEW THE GALLERY Welcoming New HSNY Members  HSNY would like to welcome the following new members.

At the Horological Society of New York’s (HSNY) Jost Bürgi Research Library, we have at least 15 books from the 18th century – an era of explosive growth and lightspeed technical innovation for horology. Some of our most well-known horological manuals date to this period. One of the jewels of our collection is a first edition of Ferdinand Berthoud’s 1763 work Essai sur L'horlogerie (You can view a copy held by the Getty Museum here). Berthoud, an important horologist in Paris, developed his own version of the marine chronometer, a game-changing device that eventually enabled people to determine longitude at sea. Although Berthoud’s invention is not the one credited as the first, it is one part of a fascinating story. Before the mid-18th century, marine navigation was a serious problem. Mariners could determine their latitude by looking at the angle of the sun during the day or the North Star at night, but they couldn’t measure longitude in the same way. It was, for centuries, an unsolvable puzzle, but navigators did the best they could by using dead reckoning, basically a form of guessing based on an estimate of speed. They also used complicated navigational tables and celestial charts to try to work out longitude.  CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL POST...
