The Horological Society of New York’s (HSNY) award-winning classes are returning to London, England on September 30 and October 1, 2023. The courses, which cover HSNY’s Horology 101-103 curriculum, will be hosted by Phillips in Association with Bacs and Russo in partnership with the British Horological Institute and the Museum of Timekeeping.
The Royal Automobile Club, London
The powerhouses will meet across the pond following a successful Traveling Education tour in 2019, which saw sold-out watchmaker benches within days of tickets going live. This year, students will have the opportunity to learn in a unique setting — The Royal Automobile Club. Participants will be offered a tour of the historical venue which was founded in 1897 and functions as a British private social and athletic club. Attendees who wish to tour the premises are required to adhere to the club’s dress code.
Throughout the course, students can discover what makes a mechanical movement tick. Each four-hour course will include the disassembly and reassembly of an ETA 6497 movement, along with explanations of proper usage of watchmaking tools and of modern horological terminology and theories. No prior experience is required for horology enthusiasts to enroll and all proceeds from ticket sales will go toward’s HSNY’s mission of advancing the art and science of horology.
