Presented Online By Phillips in Association with Bacs & Russo
The Horological Society of New York (HSNY) announces today that it has raised $50,165 at its “Timepieces for HSNY: 2023 Charity Auction,” presented online by Phillips in Association with Bacs & Russo. All proceeds from the sale, which took place online from July 6-11, will benefit HSNY in its ongoing mission to advance the art and science of horology.
Six lots made up this year's auction, which included timepieces by Laurent Ferrier, H. Moser & Cie., Jaeger-LeCoultre, NOMOS Glashütte and Oris, along with a set of six brand new books on independent watchmaking, all signed personally by François-Paul Journe of F.P.Journe.
In addition to HSNY’s online auction, the Society raised $20,000 through the sale of its 2023 Lifetime Membership Card at its 157th anniversary Gala & Awards Ceremony in April. The card, which was engine-turned by Joshua Shapiro and hand-engraved by Artur Akmaev, comes with lifetime membership privileges at HSNY, including all aspects of current and future membership tiers.
“We were able to raise over $70,000 during our 2023 charity auction season thanks to the support of our generous sponsors, donors, bidders and Phillips,” said HSNY Deputy Director Carolina Navarro. “Through our combined efforts, we’ll be able to continue offering scholarship opportunities to full-time watchmaking students across the country and we look forward to building on this achievement.”
