GPHG: the pre-selected watches at the Musée Rath

After Hong Kong, Ho Chi Minh City and New York, the Foundation of the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève inaugurated, on 30 October 2024, the fourth stage of the world tour at the Musée Rath in Geneva, where it is presenting the 90 timepieces nominated by its Academy.

A not-to-be-missed annual event, this watchmaking exhibition highlights the creations of the moment from 57 brands, in the running to win one of the 20 prizes, including the coveted “Aiguille d’Or” Grand Prix. The 24th Awards ceremony will take place on 13 November at the Théâtre du Léman in Geneva.

Open to the public until 17 November and presented in an immersive scenography designed by the preorder&soldout Studio and produced by Dietlin Swiss Showcases, the exhibition provides access to original watches, grand complications, masterpieces of craftsmanship or jewellery, iconic watches or more classic pieces.

To raise public awareness of the different facets of this 12th art, complimentary guided tours are available daily, along with introductory watchmaking workshops run by the Geneva Watchmaking School, lectures and also activities specifically designed for younger visitors.

With a view to exploring the notion of time in all its forms, the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève is providing a showcase for HEAD-Geneva in one of the rooms at the Musée Rath, where it will present student projects transcending the traditional form of the timepiece while tackling social and environmental themes. The exhibition offers a panoramic and educational experience – designed for all audiences – exploring the art of time measurement and contemporary watch design.
