13 Jun, 2019

The Grand Prix d’Horologerie de Genève (GPHG 2019) is gearing up for its 19th edition and is now accepting entries from all aspiring watch candidates. With new jury members and new categories, the GPHG welcomes entries until June 21st, 2019.
The GPHG 2019 edition introduces two new categories to the prize list. As its name implies, the Diver’s category is dedicated to watches linked to the world of diving, whose functions, materials and designs are suited to this activity.
The Iconic category is open to watches from an emblematic collection that has been exercising a lasting influence on watchmaking history for more than 25 years.
In addition, the Calendar and Astronomy category is back this year and relates to men’s mechanical watches comprising at least one calendar and/or astronomical complication.
The “Horological Revelation” Prize is also returning in 2019, enabling the jury to reward a creation from a youthful brand.
The 2019 list of prize-winners will be announced on Thursday November 7th at the Théâtre du Léman in Geneva.
