The Horological Society of New York (HSNY) welcomes today two members to its Board of Trustees, finalizing 2021’s team of 12. Mark Armenante injects new insight into America’s oldest watchmaking guild while Daniel Mooncai returns as a Trustee following his 2019 term fulfillment.
Mark Armenante has spent the last 35 years in the technology sector. Fascinated by the similarities between tech and watchmaking, he has been a collector for 30 of those 35 years. Mark founded several companies including Veeva Systems, Vlocity Inc., Verve Wines and Rigor Hill Farm. He is a board member at A Collected Man, Oryn Therapeutics, Global Medical Aid and Case Western Reserve University. His undergraduate degree is in Biology and he holds an MBA in Finance.
Daniel Mooncai earned a bachelor's degree in Biology from the University of Rochester in 2010 and soon after went on to graduate from the 3,000-hour WOSTEP program in 2012. Mooncai has worked as a watchmaker for a variety of brands under the Richemont Group, with a majority of his time on the IWC team. Mooncai moved to New York City in 2014 to work professionally as a watchmaker for the Henri Stern Watch Agency. He quickly became a member of the Horological Society of New York and fulfilled his first term on HSNY’s Board of Trustees in 2019. In April 2019, Moocai was promoted to Team Leader for Level 3 watchmakers at HSWA.
