Going, going, gone! Sold out HSNY auction reveals 2026 lots
The Horological Society of New York (HSNY) has unveiled the list of lots for its upcoming auction at its 160th anniversary Gala.
Held at The Plaza Hotel on March 21, the auction will be happen in between courses during the black tie dinner, and will be presented by Sotheby’s.
The sale comprises a variety of lots that include rare timepieces, bespoke experiences, and one-of-a-kind horological objects. The HSNY will then donate the proceeds to its financial aid programs, educational classes, library initiatives, and more.
Although the gala dinner itself is sold out, the HSNY will be hosting an after-party, also at The Plaza. Tickets can be purchased here.

Last year’s Gala raised a record-breaking $160,000 in financial aid, awarded to 28 students and four watchmaking schools across the United States, with expectations high for similar success this time around.
“This year’s auction reflects the breadth and spirit of the horological community,” said Nicholas Manousos, HSNY executive director.
“From a signed masterwork by François-Paul Journe, to a uniquely engraved wristwatch by Romain Gauthier, and a private dinner with one of the world’s great sushi chefs, every lot has been thoughtfully curated to offer something truly unforgettable. We are deeply grateful to our donors for their extraordinary generosity.”
