Join the Society

Membership

Become part of a community dedicated to preserving the art and science of horology.

Why become a member

More than watches. It's the people.

RIHOSO brings together people who light up when the conversation turns to movements, complications and the story behind a reference number. Whether you own one watch or one hundred, you'll find friends here who share the same fascination.

Members gather for relaxed evenings at great locations, hear directly from the brands and craftspeople behind the watches they love, and pass the passion on — every membership helps fund scholarships for the next generation of watchmakers.

What you'll get

Reasons to join

Camaraderie

A welcoming room where no one asks why you care so much about a watch — they want to see it.

Shared interests

Collectors, watchmakers, students and the simply curious, all brought together by a love of horology.

Lasting friendships

Conversations that start at a meeting and carry on over dinner and for years after.

Exclusive talks

Members-only presentations from watch brands, vendors, dealers and watchmakers — and the chance to ask them anything.

Great locations

Evenings at the University Club, Providence's best bars and restaurants, and garages full of collector cars.

And more

Show-and-tell, member pricing on events and the Watch Exchange, and a society that funds scholarships for future watchmakers.
