Revision as of 22:27, 30 December 2019
Template:File The Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève (Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix) is the name of an annual watchmaking prize as well as the organization that awards it.
History
Awarded in November of each year since 2001, the GPHG includes prizes in important categories, including men's/women's, sport watch, technical innovation, and complication. There is also a prize for the best watch maker and a special jury prize. Originally given by the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry (FH), the GPHG became a registered public interest organization in 2011.
The organization consists of:
- The Republic and Canton of Geneva
- The City of Geneva
- The Musée International de l’Horlogerie/International Museum of Horology (MIH) in La Chaux-de-Fonds
- The Geneva Laboratory of Horology and Microengineering (Timelab)
- The Edipresse group
With the exception of a special audience prize, only a selected jury of watch professionals are allowed to vote, and price is one consideration. GPHG has become one of the most important prizes in the world of watches, awarded annually at a banquet in November. One can compare it with the Academy Awards ("Oscars") of the U.S. film industry. An Asian Edition was also held. The winner of the Aiguille d'Or (Golden Pointer) automatically gets a seat in the jury in the following year.
The number of prizes awarded has expanded dramatically since 2013. The original ceremony, held in 2001, gave just 7 trophies. Until 2012, the number was roughly steady between 9 and 11 awards. In 2013 the prizes were expanded to 15, then 17, and 18. As of 2019, 19 trophies were given.

As of 2019, the following companies have won five or more prizes.
