At the 2023 Gala

Lifetime Membership Card

The Horological Society of New York (HSNY) introduced the creation and auction of a Lifetime Membership Card at last year’s gala. The tradition continues in 2023.

Fresh off the rose engine, HSNY’s 2023 Lifetime Membership Card is a new design once again engine turned by Joshua Shapiro and hand-engraved by Artur Akmaev. This Lifetime Membership Card grants the owner lifetime membership privileges at HSNY, including all aspects of all current and future membership tiers. The card is carefully crafted from a 92.5% sterling silver alloy with tarnish-resistant properties 4-5 times that of traditional sterling silver. The recipient's name will be hand-engraved once the auction is complete.

The Lifetime Membership Card will be the only item auctioned live at HSNY’s 2023 sold-out gala on Saturday, April 15, and will be hosted by Phillips in Association with Bacs & Russo. Last year, a friendly bidding war ensued with the Lifetime Membership Card selling for $18,000.

Proceeds from the sale of the HSNY 2023 Lifetime Membership Card will benefit the Society’s ongoing financial aid initiatives and its mission to advance the art and science of horology.

Happy bidding!
