The Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) Foundation has unveiled the official list of 90 timepieces nominated for the 25th edition of the competition, as well as the stages of its world tour.
This summer, the 1,050 members of the GPHG Academy selected 84 watches and 6 clocks from among the 302 models submitted by 184 brands. Divided into 15 categories, these exceptional timepieces will now compete for one of the 20 prizes awarded to the year’s most beautiful watch creations, including the highly coveted “Aiguille d’Or” Grand Prix.
The 2025 winners will be announced on Thursday 13 November at the 25th GPHG awards ceremony, to be held at the Bâtiment des Forces Motrices in Geneva. Ahead of the ceremony, the nominated watches will be exhibited in China, Turkey and then Switzerland, before heading to Dubai where the winning models will be presented after the prize list has been announced.
As a partner in the first stage of the 2025 World Tour, Hantang Culture will host the exhibition in Shanghai from 29 September to 8 October, during Golden Week. Committed to promoting cultural exchanges between East and West, Hantang Culture is supporting the GPHG in showcasing Swiss watchmaking excellence in China.
The tour will continue in Istanbul from 15 to 20 October, for a unique exhibition organised with the Turkish fashion group Vakko in its private hotel on the banks of the Bosphorus, a first in Turkey.
Geneva’s Musée d’Art et d’Histoire will in turn welcome the nominated timepieces from 29 October to 16 November 2025 to its historic premises. A wide-ranging cultural outreach programme will be offered to the public and schools as part of this event.
As the final stop on the 2025 tour, Dubai Watch Week will honour the 2025 winners from 19 to 23 November, after the awards ceremony.
