Dear friends of HSNY,

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to shroud our community with uncertainty, HSNY has decided to cancel the Gala & Charity Auction on August 5th.

It was a difficult decision for HSNY to make, but the health and wellbeing of our members is our top concern. While we are no longer toasting in person this year, please know that HSNY is working hard to continue supporting watchmakers and our community financially with initiatives such as the Working Watchmakers Grant, the new Howard Robbins Award for Watchmaking Schools and the Henry B. Fried Scholarship for Watchmaking Students.

Gala guests will receive refunds by July 1 and have priority access to purchase tickets for HSNY’s 2021 Gala & Charity Auction once a date is set.

We thank you for your understanding and look forward to making next year’s Gala the best one yet. In the meantime, HSNY wishes you good health and we hope to see you again soon.

Best wishes,
Horological Society of New York
