The Day in Watchmaking

The Horological Society of New York is expanding both the scale and reach of its educational support, tripling its 2026 scholarship budget with backing from the Vogt Foundation and opening applications globally for the first time. Together, those changes broaden access to a funding portfolio that now comprises 10 programs. A notable addition is the Independent Watchmaker Grant, offering up to $50,000 for tools and startup expenses. Its focus puts the practical costs of establishing an independent watchmaking operation alongside the wider scholarship effort. The budget increase is significant, but the combination of international eligibility and targeted startup support gives this expansion its particular scope. Applications for the 2026 programs run from January 1 through March 1.
