New York City - January 11, 2021
It’s the year of more for the Horological Society of New York (HSNY), America’s oldest watchmaking guild, founded in 1866. More scholarships, more lecture attendees, and now, more sponsors. HSNY welcomes today three sponsors who are helping the nonprofit advance the art and science of horology – Collective Horology, Ulysse Nardin, and Hamilton Jewelers.
HSNY’s sponsorship banner expands with top names whose support will directly help fund the Society’s multiple financial aid opportunities in the United States, continue monthly lectures via Zoom, and further develop Virtual Horological Tutoring classes and other educational initiatives.
HSNY welcomes Collective Horology, Ulysse Nardin, and Hamilton Jewelers and thanks them for their incredible support!

About Ulysse Nardin
Ulysse Nardin is the Pioneering Manufacture inspired by the sea and delivering innovative timepieces to free spirits. Founded by Mr. Ulysse Nardin in 1846 and a proud Maison of the global luxury group Kering since November 2014, Ulysse Nardin has written some of the finest chapters in the history of Haute Horlogerie. The company’s earliest renown came from its links to the nautical world: its marine chronometers are among the most reliable ever made, still sought by collectors around the world. A pioneer of cutting-edge technologies and the innovative use of materials like silicon, the brand is one of the few with the in-house expertise to produce its own high-precision components and movements. This exceptional level of watchmaking excellence has earned Ulysse Nardin membership in the most exclusive circle of Swiss watchmaking, the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie. Today, from its sites in Le Locle and La Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland, the brand’s continuing quest for horological perfection centers around five collections: The Marine, the Diver, the Classico, the Executive and the Freak. In 2020, Ulysse Nardin explored the Xtremes, bringing the X-factor to the core of its collections.
