Tell Us Your Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève-Worthy Contenders: The 2020 GPHG Nominating Academy Members (Well At Least A Few Of Them) Are Listening

by Ian Skellern

Along with my Quill & Pad colleagues Elizabeth Doerr and GaryG, I have the honor to be a member of the 2020 GPHG Academy. And one of our first roles is to nominate watches in each GPHG category that we feel represent the best in their class – submissions close June 5, 2020.

As might you, I tend to focus on my favorite niche sectors of the horological world. And as I started to put rough lists of watches together, I realized that I was likely only aware of a fraction of watches that are both eligible and noteworthy. And as my favorite niche sectors are likely to be different than yours, many of you will know about watches that I, and perhaps other Academy members, don’t.

The pre-selected men’s watches from the 2019 edition of the GPHG: (clockwise from top left) Alchemists Mechanical Healing Cu29, De Bethune DB28 Yellow Tones, Grand Seiko Spring Drive Manual-Winding Platinum, Grönefeld 1941 Principia Automatic, Laurent Ferrier Bridge One, and Kari Voutilainen 28ti

Please let us know your favorites in the comments below.

Nominate your favorites for the 2020 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève!

Below are the prize categories and the rules of each category. If you know of any watches that you think should be worthy of consideration, please let us know in the comments below. Please include:

    Ian,
    Congratulations on being a GPHG Academy member. Though the three of you on the Academy Is a big honor, it is thinning out the ranks of the Q&P team that can comment publicly on the categories in your usual articles. Please make sure to included Tim Mosso in those.
    I am wondering how it will go this year as the releases are lean, compared to prior years. I have a few suggestions.
    For Mens watch (or Artistic Crafts??), I would recommend the JN Shapiro Infinity Series P.01 with this mesmerizing and innovative guilloched meteorite dial.
    For Ladies (or Chronometry or Jewelry), I suggest the Bulgari Serpenti Seduttori Tourbillion. You pick the metal.
    For Ladies, the Vacheron Egerie in steel or gold.
    Here’s an idea: What about a Gronefeld 1941 Remontoire Bespoke dial (made in the Voutilainen factory!) for the Artistic Crafts category. I am sure that Kari will blow it out of the water with one of his other watches but perhaps a nomination is warranted.
    For Iconic, how about the JLC Reverso (not sure which one-sorry).
    I have to say this is tougher than it looks! Even picking the correct category is challenging.

      Thank you for your comments, Bill! We had Tim commenting on our round tables throughout the 2019 GPHG and I hope he’ll agree to do it again for the 2020 edition. As the three of us are Academy members, but it is not certain we’ll be Jury members, we’ll have to decide how to handle the round tables once we see when and how the Jury is nominated. I am very glad to hear that someone reads and likes them! They are a lot of work on this end, so it’s nice to have some encouragement. Thanks again!

        Heh, I just knew that was going to happen; I mistakenly left the comment dangling on its own and not as a reply to my post before it. It was Strom’s Minute Repeater Resonance I was referring to (at least I think it was released too early) – very happy to learn that the Gravity Equal Force is confirmed as A-OK, though.

      Thanks for your comment Gav. The Minute Repeater was launched July 16th last year. The rules of GPHG are May 2019 and at the latest by the end of December 2020. So we should be good with the date for the Minute Repeater Resonance. Keep fingers crossed

    Proposing the Charles Frodsham double impulse chronometer for the chronometry category. The double impulse escapement with 2 escape wheels takes inspiration from escapements Derek Pratt/George Daniels uses in larger pocket watches, but never before adopted for use in smaller watch movements. It is also an extension of Breguet’s Natural Escapement, which he never manage to make it work reliably. George Daniels himself considered it a technical challenge producing it for smaller watch movements. High production tolerances needed aside, it also impulses in both directions of a balance oscillation. Due to low friction nature on the acting surfaces of the escapement, they do not need oil lubrication, increasing the life span of working parts.
    The technical hurdles overcame by the team at Charles Frodsham is a cumulation of challenges that was faced by some of the greatest watchmakers before us and they have manage to adopt it in a smaller watch case.

            They haven’t brought out a new watch, so there is no case for inclusion that I can see – which is not to say that the watch is anything other than a magnificent achievement, and really should have been entered previously.

    A couple more that I wasn’t sure would qualify.

    Men’s: De Bethune DB25 Starry Varius with Rose Gold case. This is pushing ‘new’ to the limits of its definition – although I’ve already included mere dial updates in my suggestions – but any excuse to have it in there.
    Men’s Complication: Van Bricht Old Mind. Not sure of the release date.

    And that’s me done.

        Well, I suppose Audemars’ [Re]master01 can go under Chronograph, along with Lange’s Odysseus under Men’s, if it really must (sorry Gary); and Journe’s Astronomic Souveraine production model might qualify for Mechanical Exception (if it does, I suspect even Vacheron’s Cabinotiers offerings and JLC’s new Master Grande Tradition might fall in its shadow).

        I love the bracelet on Hublot’s Big Bang Integral but hate the dial. I kind of feel Bvlgari’s won enough already for the Octo so any iterations this year I’m ignoring. They’ll probably manage to get something in there though, which is fine. Montblanc and IWC can jog on, although I suspect a Minerva calibre will just have to make it in.

        I’ve thought of one more possibility for the Men’s prize – Garrick’s S3. I prefer the look of their earlier S2, but their own work, and collaboration with Strehler, deserves credit.

            Well, I tried to like it, I really did, and held out until Gary gave his one a review before I made my mind up. Beautiful movement, it does admittedly somehow look right in Gary’s collection next to his other Langes (in a kind of pleasing run of the gamut for their variety of style) but the dial’s not *quite* right, and the bracelet…oh god the bracelet.

            I see it as like the 1st generation of Vacheron’s Overseas, though – in that they’ll make the necessary changes to make it a stunner in a later iteration. I have faith.

      Just realised the De Bethune DB28XP Tourbillon can pick up the Men’s Complication prize if the GB Handmade 1 picks up the biggie, which I would like to see happen.

      Shame JLC and Lange haven’t entered anything as that would’ve at least made the Iconic category exciting. Oh well.
