FAQs: **How many will attend?** We limit the # of attendees to 30 so that everyone has enough time to get to know each other. **What are the ages?** We'll have a good mix of ages and everyone usually finds others in their age group. **What if rains?** We will email attendees a new date. **Can I come alone?** Yes, about 90% come on their own. **How much?** $15-$25 depending upon when you get ticket and # of spots left.

LET'S GO TO: THE HOROLOGICAL SOCIETY OF NEW YORK

# ⏰ LET'S GO — Inside the Horological Society of New York ## An Exclusive Private Tour of One of New York City's Hidden Treasures 🗓 **Tuesday\, September 1\, 2026 \| 11:00 AM** 📍 **Horological Society of New York** 20 West 44th Street New York, NY 10036 👥 **Maximum Attendance: 20 Members** 💵 **FREE for Members** 🔒 **A Private Tour Reserved Exclusively for the New York City Art, Film, Museum, Social Club** *** ## ✨ A Rare Opportunity Few New Yorkers Ever Experience Hidden inside an elegant Midtown Manhattan townhouse is one of New York City's oldest and most fascinating institutions—the **Horological Society of New York**. Founded in **1866**, it is America's oldest continuously operating horological organization and one of the world's foremost centers dedicated to the history, education, preservation, and craftsmanship of clocks and watches. Unlike a traditional museum visit, **our group has been invited for a private guided tour**, offering members an opportunity that very few people ever experience. *** ## ⌚ More Than Just Watches... What exactly is **Horology**? Horology is the art, science, history, engineering, and craftsmanship of measuring time. Long before smartphones and digital clocks, master craftsmen spent centuries perfecting extraordinary mechanical inventions capable of measuring time with astonishing accuracy. Behind every fine mechanical watch lies a miniature world of gears, springs, escapements, balance wheels, jewels, and precision engineering—many assembled entirely by hand. During our private visit, we'll discover how these remarkable creations evolved over hundreds of years into some of the most intricate mechanical devices ever built. *** ## 🕰️ During Our Private Tour We'll Explore... ✔️ The fascinating history of clocks and watches through the centuries. ✔️ Beautiful examples of mechanical timepieces and the engineering behind them. ✔️ The Society's remarkable headquarters and internationally respected horological library. ✔️ How watchmakers became some of history's greatest craftsmen and engineers. ✔️ Why New York became an important center for horological education. *** ## 🌟 Why This Event Is Special This is **not** simply a museum visit. It is a private invitation into an institution that most New Yorkers have never heard of and will likely never have the opportunity to visit. Experiences like this have become the hallmark of our Meetup group—exclusive cultural opportunities that go far beyond the typical museum tour. If you enjoy history, craftsmanship, engineering, design, decorative arts, science, or simply discovering hidden places that few people ever see, this promises to be one of our most unique events of the year. *** ## ⏳ Attendance Is Strictly Limited Because of the intimate nature of this private visit, **attendance is limited to just 20 members.** Once the event reaches capacity, additional members will be placed on a waitlist. We expect this exclusive opportunity to fill quickly, so early registration is encouraged.
