CITIZEN PAYS TRIBUTE TO STAN LEE
To commemorate Marvel’s 80th Anniversary, Citizen late last year introduced the first
limited edition watch featuring the late Stan Lee. Citizen collaborated with Stan Lee’s
POW! Entertainment to give tribute to the legend behind Marvel Comics and to pay
homage to his legacy. Lee was responsible for co-creating many iconic characters in the
Marvel Universe such as The Hulk, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, Daredevil and the X-Men.
Limited to 1,922 pieces to commemorate Lee’s birth year, the Stan Lee watch
features a black dial with printed gradient patterns. Stan Lee’s signature and
silhouette are also featured on the dial.
The case back is etched with “Excelsior!” in Stan’s signature writing. This timepiece
comes in a collectible Stan Lee cylinder holder. Price: $595 exclusively online at

The Horological Society of New York
(HSNY) is soliciting donations for HSNY’s
2020 Charity Auction. HSNY is now
accepting donations of watches, clocks,
and horological ephemera for the Gala
& Charity Auction, which will be held on
Wednesday, April 1, 2020.
The charity auction is the Society’s
largest fundraising event of the year,
providing significant support for the
ongoing horological education programs
being offered here in New York City and
across the country. All donations are
completely tax deductible.
WATCHES & WONDERS MIAMI
POSTPONED TO 2021
The next edition of Watches & Wonders Miami
will take place February 12-14, 2021, not in
2020. The move to postpone the 2020 event
reflects a strategic decision taken by the FHH
to focus all efforts on the debut of the new
Watches & Wonders Geneva concept. That
event, which re-configures the former SIHH
show, is scheduled for the upcoming April 25
to 29 in Geneva.
The timing of the 2021 show will coincide
with Presidents Day weekend, which the
FHH says will enable it to deliver the optimal
experience for attendees and partner brands,
as well as allow for continued partnership with
the Miami Concours and Miami Yacht Show. For
details, see www.watchesandwonders.com.
