Surprise stars shine at the ‘Oscars of watchmaking’
Among the winners of the annual Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève were a few rank-and-file brands, a welcome mix for the general public. From the upcoming Summer issue, out on December 8.
It’s no surprise to find famed names such as Audemars Piguet in a horological winners’ circle, along with brands well known to aficionados for their watchmaking chops – for example, Ferdinand Berthoud or Ulysse Nardin.
But there alongside them on the stage at the annual Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) awards last month were rank-and-filers such as Tudor, Raymond Weil and Christopher Ward, the very watches we strap on every day.
