Early issues of The Horologist’s Loupe document the social lives of Horological Society of New York members, from informal gatherings and vacations to wartime experiences and bereavement. Founded in 1866 as a watchmakers’ mutual-support community, HSNY ended formal sick benefits in the early 20th century, while personal connections continued.
