Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) 2023: The Finalists Are Announced!

The watch world doesn’t really have its own version of the Academy Awards. However, that said, the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) is about as close as the watch industry comes to a peer-nominated awards program with the appropriate amount of gravitas.

For the 2023 edition, for which the awards ceremony will take place on Thursday, November 9, 2023, in Geneva, the list of finalists includes 84 watches and 6 clocks broken out into 15 categories. And while each prize category will have one declared winner, it is an incredible honor even to be nominated. Meanwhile, only one singular timepiece can win the coveted Aiguille d’Or trophy (a.k.a. GPHG’s version of a best-of-show prize). Last year, the Aiguille d’Or Grand Prize went to MB&F’s Legacy Machine Sequential Evo masterpiece.
 

In the weeks leading up to the official ceremony, the GPHG will taking the competing watches on a global tour so that watch enthusiasts can drool over these mechanical marvels in the metal.
