Announcements The Horological Society of New York To Distribute $100,000 To Watchmakers In Need
WATCHESThe Horological Society of New York (HSNY) was founded in 1866 as a guild by watchmakers for watchmakers. Medical and employment benefits were provided as a way for colleagues to help each other in times of need. Since then, HSNY has evolved from its guild foundations to provide lectures, classes, scholarships, a library, and more. With the coronavirus pandemic drastically impacting the way we all work and live, HSNY has established its ?Working Watchmakers Grant? to directly assist industry professionals. The Working Watchmakers Grant is today's version of the altruism that led to the founding of the Society in 1866.Breitling replicas
The Working Watchmakers Grant is available to all watch and clock makers in the United States. Applicants must include proof of their employment (or prior employment) and certifications. Applicants also need to describe how the coronavirus pandemic has affected their business or income. The application process is simple, and payments will be made quickly on a first-come-first-served basis.
According to the ?U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics?, there are roughly 2,700 watchmakers in the country. Some of these watchmakers work for large brands or groups that will be able to weather the pandemic without issue. But others work independently or for small boutiques and are having serious issues with basic necessities. HSNY's Working Watchmakers Grant Hublot Replicas will not reach all impacted watchmakers in the country today, but it is a step in the right direction. The Society will continue to do everything possible to help horological professionals in this time of need.
The Working Watchmakers Grant is made possible by generous donations from individual donors interested in the well-being of watch and clock makers. Applications are now open.
