HSNY Brings Traveling Education Classes to Australia and New Zealand
The Horological Society of New York (HSNY) is bringing its popular Traveling Education classes to Australia and New Zealand this November, with events in Melbourne from October 30 to November 1 and in Sydney on November 21‑22, 2026. Hosted by local partners Time+Tide in Melbourne and Hodinkee Australia & New Zealand in Sydney, the weekend half‑day workshops allow participants to work on a complete mechanical watch movement, exploring gear trains, winding, setting mechanisms, and escapements under the guidance of professional watchmakers. These sessions mark only the second time HSNY has offered its hands‑on horological training Down Under, following a 2020 visit, and are expected to attract watch enthusiasts eager to develop practical watchmaking skills. Spaces are limited, and enrolment is open now through the provided Eventbrite link, offering a rare opportunity to learn from a historic society that has been advancing the art and science of horology since 1866.
