New York City - January 16, 2020
The Horological Society of New York (HSNY) owes its start in 1866 to a small group of German emigres who established the watchmaking guild to represent their craft and fellow watchmakers following the Civil War. Fast forward 154 years and HSNY now thrives as America’s oldest watchmaking society, due in part to the dedication of its board of trustees.
Today, HSNY is pleased to introduce Eneuri Acosta, COO of HODINKEE, and Tania Edwards, luxury watch consultant at Collectability, as new trustees who will help mold the Society as it enters a new decade. Acosta and Edwards succeed HODINKEE’s CEO Benjamin Clymer and Patek Philippe watchmaker Daniel Mooncai whose five-year term limits have been fulfilled.
Eneuri Acosta is the Chief Operating Officer of HODINKEE, the foremost destination for all things in the world of horology. He joined HODINKEE in 2017, bringing more than 10 years of communication, marketing and brand building experience to his role with the company. As COO, Enuri Acosta is responsible for overseeing the ongoing business operations and growth strategy across HODINKEE’s multiple disciplines which include editorial, technology, business development and advertising. Acosta has been instrumental in growing HODINKEE from a watch media outlet to a diversified commerce and content platform for some of the most well known watch brands in the world. Through his expertise, Acosta is helping to lead HODINKEE in changing the way individuals interact with not just watches, but luxury products as a whole.
Prior to HODINKEE, Eneuri was Global Manager of Marketing Communications for Cadillac. In his role, he developed and implemented communication and branding strategies to re-introduce the storied American brand to a 21st century consumer. Over the years, Acosta filled a number of key positions within Cadillac, managing brand communications that included campaigns for fashion and art partnerships, and the brand’s main advertising initiative, “Dare Greatly.”
Eneuri graduated from Ramapo College of New Jersey with a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications. He was born in the Dominican Republic and is fluent in Spanish.
Tania Edwards has 30 years of experience in the watch industry, mostly with Patek Philippe. Her career started on the PR agency side, promoting the 150th Anniversary of Patek Philippe which led to the offer of Marketing Director at the Henri Stern Agency (Patek Philippe USA), a position she held for ten years, eventually becoming Vice President. Her pivotal role in developing the global campaign, ‘You never actually own a Patek, you merely look after it for the next generation’ which is still running after 24 years, is testament to Tania’s deep understanding of how to appeal to the most discriminating customers. She remains a special projects consultant and content editor for Patek Philippe, Geneva, and still edits the award winning Patek Philippe Magazine, a position she has held for 24 years. More recently, Tania was global lead for the marketing of Christie’s Luxury division: Watches, Jewels, Wine and Handbags, followed by US Head of Marketing for the luxury British watch company Bremont. In December 2019, Tania joined Collectability and is thrilled to continue her Patek journey with her friend and colleague, John Reardon.
