Full List Of Watches Competing In The 2015 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève

by Ian Skellern

It’s that time of year again when the list of watches competing in the next edition of the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) is published. The GPHG is the “Oscars” of the watchmaking industry, and this is the fifteenth edition.

The list (link at the bottom of this article) represents the watches competing in the first round of the competition from which the jury will preselect six in each category. These 72 preselected watches will then go on a little presentation tour – such as during the Dubai Watch Week – before going on display at the Cité du Temps in Geneva.

The winning watches will be selected during a top-secret meeting of the jury and subsequently announced during the exciting ceremony that takes place on Thursday, October 29, 2015 at the Grand Théâtre in Geneva. You will be able to watch the ceremony in real time right here on Quill & Pad.

Here are a few of the competing watches that we’ve already written about:
