Event News

At end November, SalonQP celebrated its 10th birthday. Over the three-day event, Britain’s leading watch magazine and its host of exhibitors brought Fine Watchmaking to life… but did it set Instagram on fire?

Women’s watches not only figured prominently in the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève, they are becoming more impressive every year: a sign that Swiss watchmakers are taking female patrons seriously.

The prize-winners of the 18th Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) were unveiled on the 9th of November in Geneva. Excellence, creativity and horological expertise were saluted by an international jury which had designated the winners of 17 prizes and awarded the “Aiguille d’Or” Grand Prix to Bovet 1822 for the Récital 22 Grand Récital watch.

The second edition will feature 28 Watch and Jewelry Maisons, an enhanced Miami Concours and an expanded alliance with the Miami Yacht Show at their new location North of downtown Miami.

The 72 watches in the running for the 2018 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève, to be announced this Friday November 9th, are on show at Geneva’s Musée d’Art et d’Histoire in a context of art and design. The Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie is one of the contributors.

This year’s Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève takes place on November 9th. In a week’s time, the anticipation will be over and we will know who came away with the top spot in their respective categories. Competing for prizes this year are some incredible watches, with a handful of the categories displaying truly complex and extraordinary offerings.
