Tour the Horological Society of New York

Explore the collection, classrooms, and new library of the Horological Society of New York with HSNY Librarian, Miranda Marraccini! 

  • Visit HSNY’s Midtown Manhattan home since 2018, the General Society Building, located on “Club Row,” famously named due to a high concentration of clubs on the block (Harvard Club, New York Yacht Club and the Penn Club to name a few)
  • See an original watchmaking bench, tools, and patents that belonged to Henry B. Fried (1907-1996), regarded as “the dean of American watchmakers” by The New York Times
  • Get an inside look at HSNY’s current exhibit, Pocket Genius: The Watch Collection of Alex Ku
  • Examine items from HSNY’s new research library which boasts an extensive collection of rare and important texts in the field of horology

About this Event:
Did you know America’s oldest watchmaking guild is still in existence? Founded in 1866, the Horological Society of New York (HSNY) is one of the oldest continuously operating horological associations in the world and today operates as a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the art and science of horology (the study and measurement of time).

Learn about HSNY’s evolution and its 157-year traditions as you tour their watchmaking classroom and  archives, all located on Club Row in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. The tour will be led by HSNY Librarian, Miranda Marraccini.
