Paul Boutros, Phillips’ Head of Watches, Americas, adds, “We are honored and delighted to once again support HSNY’s efforts that continue to advance watchmaking science and culture in the United States. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the sale of each watch, including Phillips’ buyers’ premium, will benefit HSNY’s educational programs, scholarships, and watchmaking school awards.”
In April 2022, HSNY held its annual Gala — a tradition that dates back to the Society’s start in 1866 — where Phillips’ Watches Head of Sale & International Specialist, Vice President, Isabella Proia auctioned off the Society’s first ever lifetime membership card. The special card was engine turned (guilloché) and hand-engraved and brought in $18,000 for HSNY and its educational mission. Furthermore, HSNY awarded $100,000 in financial aid, the largest sum to date.
