- 5 years ago
We highlight some outstanding watches from Van Cleef & Arpels, Bulgari, Bovet, Voutilainen and Vacheron Constantin, from the annual Grand Prix D’Horlogerie de Genève 2018
The annual Grand Prix D’Horlogerie de Genève (or GPHG) takes place this year in Geneva on November 9, where some of the world’s best and most innovative timepieces compete across 12 categories. The categories range from Ladies’ Complication to Mechanical Exception, and Artistic Crafts to Chronograph.
Often referred to as the Oscars of the watchmaking industry, its prizes – of which there are 16 in total – are coveted. Apart from the 12 category prizes (where six shortlisted watches compete per category), the other four prizes are: Revival Watch, Special Jury, Public, and the “Aiguille D’or” Grand Prix.
All 72 of the shortlisted timepieces embarked on a traveling exhibition that kick-started on September 28 in Venice, stopping by Hong Kong and Singapore before going back home to Geneva. We stopped by the Liang Yi Museum, where the exhibition (hosted by LGT private bank and Wine’s Link company) took place in Hong Kong on October 10 and 11, for a quick look.
