On Thursday, November 12, from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m., Richard White, Waterford’s Master Cutter, will be on-site at One Times Square to hand-engrave Waterford crystal keepsakes from the New Year’s Eve Ball and champagne flutes for ticketed guests at the One Times Square Skywalk Viewing Deck Experience and Times Square New Year’s Eve Ball Experiences.
Tickets are on sale now at OneTimesSquare.com. Waterford crystals from the Times Square New Year’s Eve Ball and Waterford champagne flutes will be available for purchase on-site, with prices for crystals starting at $140 and a set of champagne flutes at $230.
This event will provide visitors with a closer look at the artistry behind Waterford’s crystal designs, which have been a part of the Times Square New Year’s Eve celebration for more than 25 years. Founded in 1783, Waterford is an enduring symbol of Irish heritage and craftsmanship, a legacy it brings to the world’s most iconic countdown as the NYE Ball’s official crystal. With more than 240 years of crystal-making heritage, Waterford brings a distinctive blend of artistry, precision and timeless design, continuing a tradition that has become synonymous with one of the world's most iconic celebrations.
“The Times Square New Year’s Eve Ball is a symbol of celebration the whole world shares, and the craftsmanship in every crystal is a big part of what makes it so special,” said Delfin Ortiz, General Manager of One Times Square. “Welcoming Waterford’s Master Cutter to One Times Square lets our guests see that artistry firsthand and leave with a crystal from the Ball that is truly their own. It’s a special way to connect with the tradition as the countdown to New Year’s Eve begins.”
“Waterford’s legacy is defined by exceptional crystal design and the artistry of the skilled craftspeople who bring each piece to life through their specialized cutting and engraving techniques. That craftmanship is brought to life on a global stage each year through Waterford’s iconic crystal designs featured on the Times Square New Year’s Eve Ball. ” said Bentley Hardwick, President Vita Americas. “Bringing our master cutter to One Times Square gives visitors a rare opportunity to experience these time-honored techniques firsthand and take home a piece of Waterford crystal personalized by hand.”
In November 2025, One Times Square unveiled the Constellation Ball, the ninth iteration since the New Year’s Eve Ball’s debut in 1907 and the largest New Year’s Eve Ball in the building’s history. Spanning 12.5 feet in diameter and weighing 12,350 pounds, the Constellation Ball features 5,280 Waterford crystals. The crystals on the ball vary in size from 1.5 to 4 inches in diameter and feature three distinct crystal designs: Infinite Life, Infinite Liberty, and Infinite Happiness. Crystals are available for purchase at One Times Square as part of the One Times Square Skywalk Viewing Deck and Times Square New Year’s Eve Ball Experiences, and One Times Square and Waterford will unveil new designs for the 2027 New Year’s Eve celebration later this year.
One Times Square is home to multiple new, exciting immersive experiences following a $550 million transformation into a year-round destination for celebrations and ticketed experiences, including the Skywalk Viewing Deck Experience, a multi-sensory journey through the history of Times Square and the New Year’s Eve Ball that concludes with a one-of-a-kind look at Times Square 19 floors above on 360-degree wraparound deck and glass walkway. Visitors can also get an up-close view of the Constellation Ball with the Times Square New Year’s Eve Ball Experience, which features a behind-the-scenes tour, a photo moment with the iconic New Year’s Eve Ball, and a countdown as it rises above Times Square, along with entry to the Skywalk Viewing Deck Experience.
One Times Square is also home to the One Times Square Candy Experience, a multi-level, multi-sensory attraction that takes guests on a sweet adventure through New York City, and a venue for intimate weddings, proposals, vow renewals, and other celebrations of love. At the base of the building, I❤️NY Gifts offers officially licensed New York City souvenirs alongside exclusive One Times Square-branded products.
