Geneva, regarded as the world capital of watchmaking, brought together the international community last November 7th for the 26th GPHG Awards Ceremony. GPHG is the French acronym for the Grand Prix D’horlogerie De Genève. This edition took on a particularly significant cultural and institutional dimension with the presence of the Director-General of UNESCO, underscoring  the place of watchmaking art within the cultural heritage of humanity.

Following a selection process involving an Academy of more than 1,000 members and a Jury of international experts chaired this year by Wei Koh, twenty prizes were attributed, recognising the excellence of an industry in constant pursuit of excellence.
