Luxury watchmakers to compete for top prize in Geneva

Each year, the world’s finest timepieces are celebrated at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) award ceremony, which is marking its 25th anniversary in November, Euronews writes.

Ninety watches and clocks will vie for coveted prizes in 15 categories, including ladies’, men’s, calendar and astronomy, jewellery and mechanical.

The top honor, known as the ‘Aiguille d’Or’ Grand Prix, is open to any watch across all categories. Last year, it was won by IWC Schaffhausen’s Portugieser Eternal Calendar.

The winners, decided by a jury of experts including watch collectors, watchmakers, journalists and auctioneers, will be announced on Thursday 13 November at the awards ceremony at the Bâtiment des Forces Motrices in Geneva.
