The Oscars of the haute horlogerie world recognize the best watches in the industry.
The haute horlogerie world is a unique and passionate one, where sublime pieces of art combine artisanal tradition with mechanical precision.
The Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève exists to recognize the best watched in the world, and it’s most commonly known as the “Haute Horlogerie Oscars”. This award recognizes the excellency in watchmaking, and is a way to shed light on the amazing work done by brands revolutionizing an industry that will never go out of fashion.
The GPHG is divided in 14 categories, with 6 houses participating in each category. In this Grand Prix, beauty is as important as functionality, and that is why some watches might appear to be eccentric, when in fact we are looking at something more than a simple accessory, more so, a work of art.
Celebrated on November 7th, in Genève, this year’s edition saw the independent GPHG judges award 19 prizes and gave the Great Prize “Aiguille d’Or” to Audemars Piguet, for its Royal Oak Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin watch.
