HappeningsWilliam Massena To Lecture On Watch Auctions At The Horological Society Of New York

Watch auctions can be intimidating even for the most experienced collectors. What questions should you ask a specialist? How do you bid successfully? What pitfalls should you avoid? At the March 2017 meeting of the Horological Society of New York, industry vet William Massena (and Talking Watches alum) will address these questions and more. Massena's illustrated lecture will explore all aspects of the world of watch auctions, including key auction houses in the international watch market, the role of auctions in the context of watch collecting, and nuances of catalog descriptions.

William Massena is the Managing Director of TimeZone.com, the world’s largest online watch discussion forum, to which he has been a key contributor since its founding in 1995. He is also a partner at Digital Luxury Group, a Geneva-based marketing and communication research company for luxury brands, and a Trustee of the Horological Society of New York. Previously, he was the Chief Operating Officer and Managing Director of Antiquorum S.A. and a consultant for Bonhams Auctioneers. He also spoke at HSNY last year about watches as investments.

All HSNY lectures are free and open to the public. Doors open at 6:00 PM; lecture begins promptly at 7:00 PM. For more information, visit HSNY's website.
