The Howard Fass Award is given to individuals judged to have shown extraordinary dedication to the ideals which the Society pursues. This award is HSNY’s highest honor, and has only been given twice before. At the 2022 Gala, the Howard Fass Award will be presented to a recipient whose work in horological education will benefit generations to come.

HSNY’s 2022 Charity Auction, hosted by Phillips in Association with Bacs & Russo, will be held online in June. Holding the Charity Auction online rather than only at the Gala (as in years past) will allow for participation from our members and friends around the world. However, one very special item will be auctioned at the Gala — a HSNY Lifetime Membership Card, hand-engraved by Artur Akmaev and engine turned by Joshua Shapiro.
