Exclusive Jacket & Tote Now Available, Made by The Armoury
Memberships are the foundation of the Horological Society of New York (HSNY), which allow the 156-year-old organization to continue its mission of advancing the art and science of horology. In recent years, the Society has experienced tremendous membership growth, with supporters spanning all corners of the globe. In order to provide them with a more elevated experience, HSNY introduces today membership levels.
A project years in the making, HSNY’s new membership levels of Gold ($1,000), Silver ($500) and Bronze ($100) come with corresponding exclusive benefits courtesy of The Armoury.
The 44th Street Jacket
For this new endeavor, HSNY partnered with the menswear brand to create The 44th Street Jacket exclusively for Gold members — a customized version of The Armoury’s famous City Hunter jacket. The made-to-order jacket is made from a deep green wool cloth and features a hidden watch pocket, a handy tweezer pocket and a custom label. The 44th Street Jacket is unisex and comes in all standard sizes, perfect for sporting at HSNY’s monthly lectures and special events. Gold members also receive priority access to HSNY’s annual Gala!
A Silver membership to HSNY features The 44th Street Tote, designed in a heavy-duty cotton canvas material and manufactured by The Armoury in Japan. The navy tote depicts a playful version of the iconic HSNY logo in gold, multiple pockets (perfect for carrying HSNY complimentary magazine subscriptions), and short and long straps for maximum comfort and versatility.
The 44th Street Tote
The Bronze level is ideal for those wishing to keep HSNY’s original offering, and comes with the Society’s famous lapel pin and complimentary subscriptions to HODINKEE, GMT, Europa Star and WatchTime magazines.
“The 44th Street Jacket and Tote are stylish additions to HSNY's membership benefits, made possible by the menswear experts at The Armoury,” said HSNY Executive Director Nicholas Manousos. “I look forward to seeing many members wearing the jacket and carrying the tote at future HSNY lectures and special events.”
“It was an honour to create these designs exclusively for the Horological Society of New York,” said Mark Cho, Founder of The Armoury. “Ever since taking my first watchmaking classes at HSNY and seeing what great contributions they make to the world of horology and watchmaking, The Armoury and I wanted to be able to support the organization in our own unique way. As a serious horology enthusiast and someone whose business serves many others in the industry, I hope these items will encourage new members to join the Society to make an even greater impact on HSNY’s mission.”
Gold, Silver and Bronze membership tiers include additional benefits which can be found here.
