Dear HSNY Members & Friends,
I am honored to send you best wishes from the Horological Society of New York for the holidays and the coming New Year.
Because of your support, this past year was an eventful one for HSNY. In April, we were thrilled to celebrate our first Gala since COVID where we shared a wonderful evening and awarded $100,000 in scholarships to students entering the trade. And in November, the grand opening of HSNY’s Jost Bürgi Research Library in October was covered by The New York Times. I am most pleased to share that we have further increased our membership and the number of sponsors we are proud to be supported by. This has been the most successful year for HSNY in recent history.
This is not to say we are ready to rest on our laurels! Far from it. In previous letters I spoke about the legacy we stand steward for at HSNY, and how it can be surprisingly easy to connect to events over a century ago. This year I find myself focused on what is happening right now. I also find myself more careful than ever with the words I choose to describe the work at hand. Rather than being busy, my calendar is full. Instead of my morning filling up, my day expands. Rather than “wishing to thank you” (a personal pet peeve…) I am actively thanking you – no matter how many times you read this letter.
You have made it a year-round responsibility for us to do the most good with the support we receive. We are dedicated to advancing the art and science of horology through education, of course. What does that mean practically? HSNY’s primary goal for the last several years has been to do everything in our ability to support every person pursuing education in the field of watchmaking in the U.S. We are getting closer every year, and hope to reach this goal as long as possible once we do.
I said earlier that 2022 has been HSNY’s most successful year in recent history. This is in no small part because of the overwhelming support from members who enrolled when HSNY’s membership levels were introduced this year. I’ll take the opportunity to thank the following new and returning members directly for making the decision to join us this year at the Gold level. I hope that the work we are doing gives you incentive to add your name to this list for next year. You can be confident that your support will be put to good use.
Very best regards,
John Teifert
President, Horological Society of New York
