We’re back with another episode of Keeping Time Podcast. Our guest is Nicholas Manousos. Based in New York City, Mr. Manousos is the Executive Director of the Horological Society of New York, Technical Editor at Hodinkee, Board Member at The Watch Library Foundation and Member of the Academy at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève.
Join us as we discuss the incredible history of the Horological Society of New York (HSNY), the oldest and the first watchmaking guild in America, founded in 1866. We discuss the Society through the ages as well as the challenges and the developments through many interesting periods of the chapter’s history. We discuss how the Society has adapted and grown and the immense global importance and influence today. Listen in to learn about some of the important programs offered and how HSNY benefits and continues to expand high-quality watchmaking in the USA as well as the development of International programs under the stewardship of Mr Manousos. We continue to discuss further aspects of HSNY, such as the library, lectures, annual gala dinner as well as the auction collaboration with Phillips Auctions.
As always, the conversation meanders through a myriad of topics that will be of interest to all horological enthusiasts. We explore Mr. Manousos’ impressive and extensive knowledge of the subject and learn about some highly influential watchmakers who may not be as well known as they perhaps should be. From Charles Fasoldt to Aaron Dennison and others, we hope that our listeners enjoy the discussion in this episode; expand their knowledge and continue to gain insights into the fascinating world of horology. Many topics are covered and the conversation is rich in content and insight. We are thrilled to welcome Mr Manousos to the podcast to share his time and insights with our listeners. We hope that you enjoy this episode of Keeping Time with Oster Watches.
